We're a fair bunch here at Parkz, so while Dreamworld finishes its theming on Shockwave, we check out Queenslands first Disk'o' ride at Aussie World, as well as progress on other new rides.

The presentation of the Disko looks AWESOME! Interesting to see what Shockwave comes out like because it's not like what Aussieworld did took much $$s or effort but the results are great. To me this illustrates the differences between themeing and presentation perfectly and shows that great presentation beats crap theming any day!

I don't recall seeing this one appear on the forums. For me I usually detour the front page and go straight to /forums... weird. I LOVE the theming for redback. It's simple, but immersive and effective. Aussie World seems to take that track - simple, but effective. It doesn't look "tacky" and fits exactly what they aim for. I love Rock N Roll Rebel - and with just a few intelligent lights, a timed soundtrack and some neon lights does very well - and that was years ago that that went in. Obviously the giant slide won't be much to look at - but as stated - great for the kids. I think the comments are a bit unfair as far as the bigger parks overlooking this kind of attraction are concerned - imagine the uproar on the boards if seaworld announced a giant slide going in on the old Pirate ship site? Anyhow - i've kind of overlooked Aussie world lately - living on the south side now, so I guess it might be time for another trip north.
