Better yet, it will be an animal park.

Damn I thought you were gone

A dragon wagon would be a big ride for Aussie World.

Damn, who left the door open this time round?

A killer whale exhibit?

Better yet, a churro wagon themed Wacky Worm...

Two wacky worms in one park... that would be a WORLD FIRST!

^Duelling wacky worms. I'm booking my flight to Caloundra!

Speaking to a representative on Sunday who informs that shipping containers started arriving early Sunday morning for their next install and that they are hoping for 2 new attractions in place by the end of the year.

Excellent news, thanks Wycen!! Obviously the shipping containers contain the ride to replace the Octopus which was removed earlier this year. This is the first that I have heard that they are looking at TWO attractions this year though.

If Aussie World keeps on adding one or two new attractions like this every 18 months or so then  it is going to be a very attractive option to visit for families.

In my mind, Aussie World is just one major attraction away from stepping into a far bigger market than they currently place themselves in.IMHO. both Aussie World and Adventure World in Perth are the nation's number one parks to watch for growth in the future.

Did your source mention anything about the type of attraction they are planning at all? Aussie World are a bit tight lipped at the moment, as you can imagine.

My friend works at Aussie World and she told me the Wild Mouse is officially closed forever and they are knocking it down sooner rather than later ! 

I definitely hope not @shall2269, would be a shame to lose another classic mouse.

No nothing unfortunately...  Was very forthcoming with the above information and given the maps having coming soon over the Octopus I would agree that is the shipping containers...  TBH I have never been to the park but it is most definitely something that as a family and some friends are looking at doing at the end of the year

No, please, no, there are only three of them left, please don't kill it.

latest nearmap 25 may. nothing obvious.

The Manager of Aussie World told her that it was safety concerns and that's why they are closing it permanently. It will be a shame to see it go 

Still on the website?

Aussie World's site says it's down for maintenance until the 31st of July.

I guess come August 1 we will see what happens...

It would be very sad to see it go.  On the other hand though if it does go what sort of room does that open up for the park?  Maybe time for a big (for a park that size) modern coaster?  Imagine what a Boomerang would do for that place? Particularly if it had Vekoma's new non sucky restraints

Totally concur-It would be an absolute shame if it was to go if this report is true. Aussie World sure are very tight lipped about this.Given its rarity in the world, the uniqueness of the ride and its historical importance, surely there must be someway to keep it operating. LPS Wild Mouse unit is heritage listed and as such, they must maintain this ride to an accepted operating standard. If true, it must be something that is SEVERELY wrong for them to be contemplating removing it.Fingers crossed , hopefully we see the situation improves and Wild Mouse continues to operate, thrilling new generations to come.

Aussie World is ripe for a new modern small to medium coaster. Plenty of possibilities out there.
