_{Why did this need to be put here? It was on the AW form posted directly from Mark.}

the update seemed a bit more relevant to this topic.  No. Annoyance intended.  

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

Yeah - if it's already on Parkz - I don't see a need for it to be duplicated in multiple threads. I'm sure Mark can decide the relevance of information he posts about his park. Just my opinion.

Imfifa was Cheap Fifa 16 Coins always shifted when seeing Ronaldinho tweeting Barcelona's information.

An excellent Fifa 16 Coins individual came out by status on the other excellent individuals. I think Mesii would be gratefull permanently.

hmmm?

Click bait spambot does not compute. Don't worry about that, Mark, you've got more important things to do. Just over two weeks to go!  We're looking forward to the new season.  Can't wait to ride Abyss again. Any new surprises or modifications there?

Abyss has some additional signage going into the queue race to bring the druids to life a little more. we are also testing out a little sensory addition inside the building next week so hopefully that works well... emphasis on the word "little".  Otherwise its just the same Awesome coaster as before.

Cool, thanks Mark. Enjoying some Adventure World weather today.

[Tim Dasco]

Well the good Perth summer weather has finally come back ???

Arise the great wall of Adventure World.  I hope there's some classy signage that comes with it.  At least it might stop some of the buffoons parking all over the grass.

[Mark Shaw]

Good morning.  The Car Park is owned by the state and run by Cockburn council under a management order. They licence it to us.

This new path has been agreed together but is being installed by Cockburn so sadly no new signage. YET.  It is planned (but not yet confirmed) to fully refurbish the Car park next winter. #Long overdue.

Still looking likely MI2 will open to the public Sept 30th.

Good point about the car park. Great news about MI2. Do you know what day the announcement is airing, Mark?

[iwerks]

I'm glad to see the travel experts haven't got any of their facts wrong!

(bumper boats, cabanas around lagoon and lower dragons kingdom pool, path resurfaces..)

The platinum pass seems to have gone on special.

The platinum pass now includes 2 fast pass days.  It's somewhat ironic that I finally decided on getting a regular season pass just the other day.

it is possible to pay the difference to upgrade.

Thanks Mark - good to know.

Any news on the big announcement?

[Adam C]

The weather forecast for opening day and school holidays is looking good.  Dry, mostly sunny and in the high 20s.

A friend of mine visited Adventure World, today, and took lots of photos.  It looks like the paddle boats around the old castle lake have disappeared.  Apparently, the pirate's hair at Buccaneer Bay moves in the wind.  A number of the slides up the hill have new names and the operators have snazzy new uniforms (with tentacles, no less).  The new water slide's name is covered up and there are no references to it anywhere.  The top of the hill was closed, with the chair lift not operating and the Freefall still in pieces. There's a new park map too.  The place was pretty packed with families (already using the new cabanas), kids at Physic's Day and executives making important phone calls.  I'm planning on making a visit on the weekend.

I thought AW were renaming the slides on the hill (the Tunnel of Terror, Rocky mountain and the mat slides), but nonetheless I still like the names of the Shotgun, the Aqua Super 6 and the Speed Slides. Still will call them their original names IMO.

I'm shocked that AW installed that rankings board only last year- and assumably its gone.

Odd that Freefall hasn't been set up but it is still on the map, implying that Freefall will still be open for this season. IMO Freefall was a bad decision- it was old when they got it, and has been a maintenance nightmare ever since AW got it 6 years ago.

According to the map, Tidal Wave is the racers and they've appropriately named the speed slides 'Wahoo'.   Freefall is still on the map.. for the time being.

 

[Tim Dasco]

Also looking at the map. Photos will be taken on the slides tornado element and you will get it when you leave in that new building coming in front of the Krakens entrance.

Adventure World is looking nice, including the front of the new walled car park.  The paddle boats definitely look to be a part of history as the station has pretty much been removed.  Abyss was running smoothly, today, although the guardians are looking a little weathered. There are plenty of shade sails up around the place.  Many of the paths have been re-coated, so as to not burn the feet. The new water slide is not currently being tested.  Freefall looks really run down and it doesn't seem like it'll be working anytime soon.  The cheesy bacon fries were a popular addition to the menu.  Having the discount with the season pass really helps on keeping the prices down.  And yeah.. I've got a new wide-angled lens.

The old names for the slides are still on their website.....

Mark said in the past that they are building a new website and unfortunately it will not be ready when the new season opened.
