I haven't been to adventureworld in 7 years, but with this new coaster I think I may get a season pass.

Looks like the coaster dives into and rises out of a pit? Is that the "Spikes" section of this version of the ride?

Well I know i am most definitely going to Perth this January to ride the new coaster.....

Where is it going again? Which ride is going?

??? It's going to Adventure World?? No ride is going? Or do u mean opening? I'm confused... If you don't know what ride is opening, or where it is going - why are u so certain you want to go there?

Its going at the back of the park, sort of behind the mountain which has the two body slides and tunnel of terror. No rides are going to make way for it.

Have you been there before Gazza? Just asking out of interest.

There used to be a roller coaster up in that area years ago called Turbo Mountain. Not the exact area but close I beleive.

Yep, went to the park a couple of years ago.

Well, its a pretty small park so all stuff is pretty close. This overlaid image shows the new coaster construction, relative to turbo mountain up in the top left.

And here is how the coaster looks at the moment:

I know that you had to walk up a hill to get there.

That's correct. The area where Turbo Mountain previously occupied is now home to Adventure World's Huss Free fall tower. This new coaster will be a great addition. Since it is unlikely that I will be able to get there to visit in the near future, i am looking forward to how this ride progresses and the eventual reviews and trip reports.

I rode that once when i was only 7 years old in 2008. I was pretty annoyed when it was gone, though.

The website said they got rid of it in 2006, it was gone after 2009. Apparently parts were hard to find for the coaster, and shut it down, much to people's dismay. It was one of the most popular attractions the park ever had, excluding Rail Rider. Imagine how popular this thing is going to get when it opens? Going to Perth in September too to see my family. Turbo Mountain in question was an Anton Schwarzkopf Jet Star II, relocated from LPS. Gerstlauer use the old Schwarzkopf factory.

Very Quiet on The Western Front

Went down to AW again on Saturday. There's little progress on the coaster. They've put in a bit of the station floor, the kind of thing you almost smack your head on in the Saw Ride POV. On the otherside of the park a red brick building has appeared - presumably a replacement for the old toilet block. They've also put up new signs and banners announcing the coming of their new 'rollercoaster'.

They'll probably get most of the building done before going on to the lift hill and outdoor section.

Looks like it's been a busy couple of days. This was posted on the Lost Perth Facebook Page today.

Progress is coming along nicely.

Can't wait until outdoor construction begins so we can see just how much the layout will differ from Saw.

Progress is coming along nicely.

I'm very happy it'll be open when I go over!!!

More pictures from http://adventureworld.net.au/#/news-events/mi1-construction-photos/ They are also doing this "Adventure World announces that refurbishment of the Grand Prix Race Track will take place prior to the new season launch on 26 September 2013. As further enhancement following the extensive repainting or "pimping" of the cars undertaken prior to the end of last season, the 30 year old track will be resurfaced and associated landscaping completed. The new smoother track surface will mean a smoother ride for all. The race track team will be sporting themed uniforms in the new season for an even more authentic racing experience! Stop back soon for progress photos. Network Ten have confirmed an additional 2 year sponsorship of this very popular ride that now sports a bright white Channel Ten branded archway tyre and entertainment signage from some of their most popular programmes across the network. Additional corporate sponsorships are available for this ride. All enquiries can be directed to marketing@adventureworld.net.au for further information."

This is great!

For years we have said that a Eurofighter would be perfect for Australian parks, and now we are getting one.

Adventure World's terrible reply to someone stating that "It's a copy of SAW from America" in which I corrected them "England" SAW was built in 2009 so "replica" noooo, "similar" "better" probably! Well at least it isn't just a copy Who cares when it was built though!

That was me

Here are some more pictures from adventure Worlds Facebook page.

New pictures from adventure Worlds Facebook page. If you notice in the second picture on the right hand side their is an extra track going into the building does anyone know what it is. It might be the work shop.

Looks like it is.

The extra price of track is in this picture to so maybe it is the workshop Source Gerstluers website.

I'd say Transfer Track but it's hard to see where it would actually transfer a ride to? The brakerun in the dark ride section?
