Aussie world new rides update

[Luke Costello]

I was at Aussie world today and I grabbed a few photos of some of various parts to the new inverting pendulum ride they are building.

What looks to be the control booth.

Parts of the gondola in some wrapping.

Some unknown parts.

Part of a sign and more unknown parts.

The main arm laying on the construction site.

Haha I completely forgot about this addition. 

Does anyone know when they are planning to open it?

One of the ride ops said they are planing on opening it before Christmas.

 

They are also getting a few more decent looking flats along with a spinning mouse coaster.

Ooooh the Technical Parks' Typhoon 360... much nicer looking and taller than what Funfields got!

This new ride is going to be huge!!

As per Aussie World's map, they have 3 new rides coming soon. Presumably, one is the new Typhoon 360 degree Inversion ride. The other 2, as we know from the DA's that have been submitted are for a new spinning coaster and a collection of flats.

The new coaster is due mid 2019 and the other ride, according to Aussie World, could be much sooner. Aussie World are tight lipped about which ride this could be at this stage but it is certainly one of the 5 rides that have been approved- a Drop Tower (40m high, 12-person capacity), Air Race (10m high, 24-person capacity), Windstarz (9m high, 24-person capacity), Star Fly (40m high, 24-person capcaity) and the Aerobat (6-15m high, 14-person capacity).

2019 is certainly going to be a very big year for this excellent little theme park!!

I've honestly never been even though I drive past it almost every 2nd weekend.

 

I will for sure visit it sometime in 2019 though.

I want to be a believer, but is it possible that they've just used multiple "new ride coming soon" stickers to fill in blank parts of the map?

I'm all for three new rides in the next year, and I reckon they could do it - but I think its also possible they've just filled in blank space...

Yeah I thought that too AlexB , however I did approach the park regarding this , hence the info that I received. The info points to one of those "new ride coming" as being the Typhoon, the other the new Wild Mouse Spinner ( due mid 2019) and the other is a yet unspecified new ride that could be any of the 5 already announced. It was hinted that this could be coming sooner rather than later.

Three new rides in one year is a big investment , however , they have already announced the 5 new rides in addition to the Typhoon and Wild Mouse Spinner. The plans are already well advanced and either the rides are purchased or on order, the DA's have been approved and plans are announced. I guess the timeline on their installation is the only thing we dont know for certain.

Any number of things can happen to stretch this timeline, and whilst I am a realist , I am very much in the same thinking as you. I want to believe.......Time will tell how this pans out in 2019.
