Fairly recent I believe although the same offer has been ongoing at Dreamworld for awhile. Village just seem to be matching it now.

Plus side is some staff at Dreamworld stack your yearly pass discount and the RACQ discount... All adds up to a decent saving

Dangerous or fun? Horribly designed slide though.

Deadliest turn huh?

Maybe if riders were going faster than walking pace and in more than 5cms of water.

It doesn't look like the world's greatest waterpark either - looks like something at a local swimming pool. If my local pool had something like that i'd be happy, and be TRYING to get flipped out of my tube.

The big parks are 'too' risk averse in that sense these days.

I saw this on my FB feed this morning and thought it might be of interest - Oculus Rift / Real Life Coaster mesh

^ I'd love to try something like that out. You could do an awful lot with it.

Not exactly sure where to put this, but I thought it was a interesting find.

Question, i'll be going to GC at the end of the year, and i'll be arriving in GC several hours before my hotels check-in time and was just wondering if it would be worth my time marathon-ing (from Coffs) my way up to Aussie World and the Ettamogah or just killing my time at Currumbin?

You're looking at adding another 2hrs+ travel time to get to Sunshine Coast from Gold Coast, 2hrs back again and probably peak traffic through Brisbane (starts around 3pm and finishes about 6:30pm). I'd be staying south myself.

Also - depending on which day you're arriving, sunshine coast southbound on the bruce can be extremely painful around holidays, long weekends, or really just any sunday.

You do have the alternative of Steve Irwin Way then through Caboolture to go back on the M1 around Morayfield. Went this way last time I headed back from the Sunshine Coast on a public holiday.

At the moment it looks like we would be going through on a Saturday. But by the sounds of it, it would be better to kill time at Currumbin.

Do they still have adventure parc down there? that'd be a way to kill an afternoon!

Yeah, Adventure Parc is still down there (or at least it was in March).

I know it's not new but this is the first time I've ever come across it. What do you think of the whole roller coaster zip line 'ride'?

We need one!!!

Another question.

How often is Screamworld? I'm looking at the week after schoolies and would hope it's on then.

No real pattern to Screamworld. There's 2 this month which I've never seen happen before

Magic eight ball said "Ask again later", as Brad said they are random when it comes to scheduling. Best bet would be to ask the park as they may know.

Water slide 1 looks too intense for me!

I genuinely lol'd. Well played good sir, please take a like.

That joke I put up was an RCT3 one, if you didn't know what it was.
