Hi all, does anyone know what the $3 million water attraction they are getting? website doesn't say to much

On the Cockburn (lol) City Council application section the following can be found:

Description: PRIVATE RECREATION (AQUA PLAY TRAIN) Submitted: 14/02/2011

Haven't the slightest idea what it could be.

Probably a news stand.

[jddc7]

Thanks for that. no idea what that is haha

[Spencer]

It's a place you can buy things from. Like...just a shot in the dark here...um, newspapers. LOL!

[jddc7]

got it!! http://www.adventureworld.net.au/rides-and-attractions/coming-soon.aspx sounds pretty good actually

[Gazza]

Ah, so a water play structure. 8 Slides...sounds pretty good. I wonder what sort of scale they are going for? Will it be Pipeline Plunge sized, or will they go mega, with something similar to Cowabunga Bay in Utah or East Coast Waterworks at Hersheypark?

Aqua Play Train = Water Play Structure. Why didn't I think of that? I count eight slides on the schematic view for a Rainfortress so it could be one of them.

Damn, I was looking up the page to find where I posted in this thread that I thought it sounded like it could be an Aquaplay, so I could smugly quote it and gloat. Of course I didn't post and now no one will belive me Anyways, I think this will suit Adventure World. They seem to have had a good deal of success with the water park attractions since they are continuing down that path with this. As an aside, do we have any members in WA who can supply photos for an update when the park opens?

Just had a look at the Rainfortress, not conviced thats it but. It looks very much like a kids water play area with the whole tipping bucket thing. But they already have quite a developed kids water play area inc a tipping bucket which has just opened recently. (http://www.adventureworld.net.au/rides-and-attractions/for-young-adventurers/kids-splash-zone-now-open.aspx) I would guess its been in the works for a while, since they removed the roller coaster a couple of years ago and brought in the freefall. They've done quite a bit of work around the site putting in new power sub station and a couple of new buildings. Looking forward to something new either way...

How about a small ProSlide RideHouse then?

Here you go paving bricks being removed. From a different angle showing location of the new slides in relation to the existing swimming pool. Here are some later photos. http://www.adventureworld.net.au/NEW/Watch_Construction_Here/StageOne.aspx The new water slide attraction being constructed is for kids.
