Yea. I certainly did. Have another read! . 👍

Also, from where did you draw the conclusion of the park getting a Kanga bounce? All the new rides had been accounted for from the renderings from the park. 

Yeah sorry man that's my bad, I should have read through it a bit more before saying that 

If admin could delete my last 2 posts on this forum it would be appreciated

Hi there all! I want to give you all a... interesting update to the construction.

First, lots of signs for Lipman have been created around the park.

Second, some trees that have been cut down and rubble from the digging have been piled up into a skip bin at Maloney's Corner.

Third, a digital closed and countdown sign have been added to the Face.

Fourth, parts of the platform outside of Coney Island have been torn down.

And Fifth and most interesting. You can see a man in a cherry picker in one of the photos. Just after I took it, he said. "OI, OI, OI! DON'T TAKE PHOTOS! LET ME TAKE ONE OF YOU!" And then poked the middle finger at me. And then he said, "**** YOU FOR TAKING PHOTOS! **** YOU, **** YOU, **** YOU!" And continued pointing the middle finger. I was frozen, then started crying. And when I tried to go back. He kept doing it and started to look like he was about to become physical. It's even more of a problem because people like him cause me to have flashbacks from bullies who were much, much, much worse than him. But they still did that as well. THIS GUY IS NOT A LPS STAFF MEMBER! He works with Lipman. And lots of Tradies do act like this. Not all of them. But some of them. Luckily, thanks to Billy, Natillie, and a nice Truck Driver. They were able to help me and deal with the situation. And they've reassured me that it's fine to continue these construction updates. So I'm very thankful to the LPS Staff.

Kanga Bounce seems like a good idea for a ride in the future actually!

hmm... kanga goes boing boing...

(repeat infinite times)

Next update (hopefully not so dramatic) will be there when I get there. (Coasterlife, weekdays rule for me. weekends are your weekdays for me. HA!)

The big top service door is open. Most likely vehicle storage as maybe a nice alternative to store coaster parts.

 

The action will ramp up within a month. Can't wait to see the changes.

Hi there all! Just wanna give you another update on the construction!

Billy and Andrew were up there to greet me. Not even planned!

Demolition of the foundations of Tumble Bug, and of the shed has now begun.

The foundations and electrical is now being built as we speak!

Lipman have also added DANGER, UNAUTHORISED PERSONS PROHIBITED signs. And more of the same Lipman logo signs near Coney Island. It makes the photos blur basically.

And the first ride should be in about 2 weeks time.

LPS and Lipman have had a chat with each other to make sure that what happened last time won't happen again.

Next update will be whenever I get there!

(P.S Coasterlife, 1 week isn't good enough! XD!)

No, it's not a no. I just wanted to know which part of the information that you wanted to use in a slightly comedic way.

Uh, what?

 

Anyways, I found the gondolas from Tumblebug listed on gumtree. Joylands seems to be selling them off so if you have the space and really want one for whatever reason, you can get one. https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/austral/antiques/historic-tumblebug-condolars/1267937243

WTF???? Those comments are entirely innapropriate and disrespectful to the poor victims that lost their lives on that ill fated night.

Ha!! Awesome!! Well at least we know the final fate of the poor old Tumblebug!! Great find mate!!

[Baconjack]

Huss rides are engineered so the key parts from each are very interchangeable. I wonder what Joylands plans to do with the Troika's parts, perhaps some parts from the Troika are cross compatible with the Breakdance they also bought.

[Wil_i_am_not]

All the HUSS Rides from the park (including the breakdance) are getting scrapped, so unfortunately everything that can be will be sold off, and the rest sent to the scrap yard.

Interesting. Source? 

[Wil_i_am_not]

Other ride operators from Sydney and beyond have confirmed. From what I’ve heard, Joylands doesn’t think it’s feasible to tour a two trailer machine (that requires a small crane to set up mind you) when there’s already a Breakdance on the circuit.

[TimmyG]

Some rides are being scrapped yes, Troika is one, but there are some other Huss rides that will be operational again if what I heard about the current happenings on the travelling circuit is correct.
