Roller Coaster Mack

Storm Coaster Sea World

Work on Storm Coaster has shifted from track and site works to checking the rides' systems and putting finishing touches on the theming.

Jet Rescue Storm Coaster Sea World

Since our last visit the site has been cleaned up with a bed of gravel laid down, and a couple of extra oddly stacked shipping containers have appeared.

The centerpiece of the theming is taking shape; an upturned hull of a ship that riders will "crash" into. This marks the transition into the 'dark ride' section of the coaster, where guests will travel through the burning inside of the ship.

Guests will narrowly pass underneath the ships propeller. Here's hoping they make it rotate to enhance the "near miss" effect.

An overview of the site...It's certainly the most immersive natural disaster themed attraction on the Gold Coast.

There's certainly a fair bit of land in the middle of the ride left over. Let's hope down the track they turn it into a seating area, or add a small kids flat ride or two to keep the less daring riders occupied.

Storm Coaster was the only major new ride to open in Summer 2013/2014 on the Gold Coast.

Storm Coaster Sea World

It is the few "water coasters" worldwide; an attraction where riders spend part of the time travelling along a steel track through curves and dips, and part of the time floating along a channel of water.

This is accomplished with boat shaped vehicles, and a special track system with 6 rails to guide the vehicle through the track. Normal coasters have two rails, with wheels that clamp around the track. In this case, the vehicle sits within the track.

The coaster is a clone of Skatteøen at Djurs Sommerland in Denmark. A 28m high lift hill leads the boats into a dipping u turn, before a large sweeping 360 degree drop and rise. Finally, a straight drop and airtime hump leads boats to the indoor splashdown.

The entrance sign for the ride is a rusty ship door.

So, the story goes that a category 5 cyclone has just blown through a port and we are in the calm eye of the storm. We've gotta make our way to the coastguard evacuation boats before the other side of the storm hits.

The pathway into the ride has boats and other debris tossed about.

Is this angle or parallel parking?

Plenty of container port theming.
