Aussie World Expansion

[DazzaM]

Aussie World have posted this on their facebook page.

Aussie World is expanding with 3 awesome new rides and attractions opening really soon! If YOU could choose one thing for us to build, what would it be?

Hopefully they put in decent things to challenge the major parks.

[Gazza]

I dunno if they necessarily have to challenge the majors. Rather I'd like to see them do some fun and quirky stuff that the big parks cant necessarily do.

My wishlist....

This:

And these:

They also posted this a couple of months ago:

A major transformation of our iconic Town Hall has begun. Opening mid-2014 will be an exciting new attraction in its place that will absolutely blow your mind!

Just a drive by of Aussie World today and found this in the car park. Looks like some kind of Kiddie Coaster. I could be wrong and would be happy to be corrected. Just thought you might like the photos. Couldn't find any shipping labels. Happy to see Aussie World continue to increase the number of rides. Will have another look next weekend.

Junior boomerang would be nice

Looks like track from a Wacky Worm or Pinfari style coaster... perhaps it could be the old Metropolis coaster from Luna Park Melbourne?

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

Didn't AW confirm it was a Pinfari a while back?

^ It was in the thread titled Pinfari Coaster and Wave Swinger for Aussie World, found here:

Just casually browsing Sunshine Coast council PD online I stumbled across this:

A Pinfari could be anything really http://www.pinfari.com/models.html

Could be a small as a big apple/wacky worm coaster, right through to something the size of Metropolis as LPM. They also make a couple of models featuring a single inversion.

So we know we are getting a Pinfari Coaster, and a new attraction in the Town Hall. Do you think they are counting the Wave Swinger as the 3rd ride? As it is already in operation, but strangely there hasn't really been anything said about it, and there is no mention of it on their website.

I doubt it, the track itself whilst looks similar, looks too small in width when compared to Metropolis.

This is a massive pipe-dream but...

^As far as I know, Pinfari are no longer in business, so it would have to be gotten 2nd hand.

It appears as though it operates under a different name.

Yuck, I was hoping the whole Pinfari thing was just a rumor.

Well, I guess one of their regular sitdowns could be fairly popular, and a wacky worm would be good for kids. I just hope, for the sake of everyone's physical health, that it's not one of those Pinfari looping deathtraps.

My possibly unrealistic dream addition for Aussie World is still a decent compact coaster, like a standard model Eurofighter or a GCI Bigfun. Both are fairly expensive, but not completely out of the park's budget if they are willing to save. Both would be extremely exciting additions to the park, and a GCI Bigfun would be unique to Australia as being the country's only "proper" wooden coaster (non scenic railway or wild mouse).

Exclusive New Ride!!! Currently in Soft opening mode. Located near the redback.

That looks like the O'neills wave swinger that used to travel...

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

To be fair though, most of them have the same livery. It did look like a truck mounted model, but it wasn't necessarily the same one...

[themeparksupdate]

All rides that Aussie World has just purchased are all 2nd hand and have been refurbished. The new attraction taken over the funny bone flicks will feature a mini walk through attraction featuring darkness and lights. In the future there is ideas floating around with management about a waterslides over near the new roller coaster that will be placed (Aussie Slide) in regards to annual passes it's not on the books due to attendance.

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

Interesting knowledge you seem to have there.

You're new here, so please forgive my skepticism - what kind of connection do you have to the park?

Thanks for sharing.

Aussie World Facebook has announced that the Wave Swinger will be open these holidays. Riders must be 130cms to able to ride. They have named the ride 'Ballroom Blitz'

Pictures below

Been informed that the ride is now open to public!

[Cooper Olsen]

Ballroom Blitz... really

[jjuttp]

Is there:

- A man at the back with eyes as red as the sun?

- a passionate girl in the corner?

- Is this ride like lightning?

- Is everybody frightening?

- Is the music soothing?

- and lastly; Was everybody grooving when you rode it?

[joz]

No, all there was was a man at the back. Apparently he said 'charge' or something similar. I wasn't there someone else told me about it so could be wrong.

130cm....Really [/joz]
