Adventure World 2015 - 'Mi2' Kraken Tornado slide

[iwerks]

Yeah, I'm not. Those things are really expensive. I wish it was one of those. Whatever it is, it's fairly complicated with all its different coloured markers. Enjoy these photos.

Welcome to Flag Day.

My expert analysis of the photos tells me the ride will utilise both water and power...

[strop]

^ you forgot gravity. It might also utilize gravity...

[iwerks]

^ That would be cool if you were wrong.

FYI: The third pipe is for 'comms'.

Adventure World's latest Throwback Thursday post - one of the original park maps. Pretty sure I've got the tea towel of this somewhere. The kids' part of the park certainly has changed. It was a lot more like Tom Sawyer's Island then. I remember the circus arena too. Very cool. When are they going to bring back wooden rulers as souvenirs?

Adventure World had an alpine slide before?

I have another suggestion for AW, last time I visited, the pool was filthy and really murky, I think they should replace that pool with a wave pool. I think that it would be quite a big project, but I think it will make the park a whole lot better. I mean, some of the best water parks around the world have wave pools. There is enough room for a wave pool anyways, so why not?

Indeed and a cute little mono rail type bike thing that took you back up. It was always breaking down and kids were always coming off the Toboggan slides despite the signage, so they ditched it around the early 90s.

At one stage Funfields and Adventure World must have been practically identical. I wonder if that's our clue to AW's next attraction.

Personally, I wouldn't be too excited if it was a bowl ride but Funfields has a pretty good version.

I'm not sure it'd be worth it; Bayswater Waves already has a wave pool, and considering the expense of redesigning the pool area and installing the wave equipment I don't think the ROI would be there.

I dunno, an indoor wave pool at an aquatic centre doesn't strike competition to me.

If you were to build an actual surfable wave pool (ie water dump system not moving wall) you could have something cool and unique.

Happy Easter everyone. Works start on MI2 with builders mobilization in approx. 3 weeks time.

Not sure if anyone saw this.

^ Thanks, Mark. Didn't see that clip. I presume construction starts after the season finishes.

[grrofunger]

can't wait

($300,000 to re-seal the pool .... ouch)

Can this topic name be changed. It is not speculation any more. A new ride is coming.

[joz]

But what is it?

[Noxegon]

Inverted Log Flume. You read it here first.

[Reanimated35]

^ Inverted dueling log flume with hi-five element and zero-g roll........made by B&M and pre-refurbished by Mack, all run by Adventure World's new owners, Disney.

[Tim Dasco]

You watch the media will probably read that and think its true!

[iwerks]

^ You never know..

This thread was originally about the attractions for 2014-15, wasn't it? I guess we'll soon find out what's next. Let's speculate some more..

Busted! how did you guys figure all that out?

Pretty much, or perhaps a few days before if they can mobilise fast enough.

[Tim Dasco]

Mark is the new ride expected to be open when the next season restarts or is it going to open after?

Thanks in advanced,

Tim

Hi Tim

At present looking around 2nd week in October but that may change depending on weather conditions given the site is not the easiest for access due to the levels.

Hey just curious when will the style of ride no longer be a secret? As in, when is the official announcement planned? I am really really hoping it is some sort of water ride that is record breaking in the thrill sense but can also be ridden without getting topless and into swimmers.. maybe a huge flume drop for example.
