Australian Amusement Fanatics

Hey guys, I headed out to Dreamworld today to get a construction update. The park was pretty busy today, then again, it was school holidays. The rides were not doing too well though. Stingray was closed, the Rapids ride was closed, the Train was closed and the Tower of Terror was experiencing diffic...

Aussie do you have the address of the show and its operating hours?

I might try get out there on Saturday afternoon for a look.

Wont people ever cut Luna Park a break? When you really look at the years and years of issues they have had, the Park must be about ready to give up. It seems they can never do anything right. Like Princess said, the Park was there first. Perhaps they should get rid of it and let it become a place f...

PNC, I recall seeing the Avalanche at the Orion Shopping Centre opening at Springfield, Queensland (yes I had to clarrify, because just like America we have a Springfield in every state). Was that your ride?

Thats an awesome line ride up. Pitty Rocky is so far away from Brissy.

I grew up in Blackwater, a mining town two hours inland from Rockhampton. My highlight for the year was attending the gold ole Rocky show.

Okay guys, I took a trip out to Dreamworld yesterday Sunday 27 May 07 and took some new construction pics. The majority of the concrete pillars are in. Looks like there will be some type of helix near the Giant Drop end of the coaster. No sign of track parts yet, but land has been cleared to tempora...

Princess, we are always happy to have you in Brissy and anybody else for that matter.

Cant believe its only a few months away. Bring it on.

Its time for the Ipswich Show once again. The show runs from 10 to 12 May 2007 at 81 Warwick Road, Ipswich. The rides on offer include: - Scorpion - Speed - Hard Rock - Hurricane - Jumbo Slide - Big Wizz - Haunted Mansion - Dogems - Go Karts - Big Wheel - Fun Factory - Tilt a Whirl The Cyber Party s...

Supposebly they have only been removed temporarily. So dont know if they will weave their way around the new attraction or be relocated elsewhere in the park.

Sorry about the delay guys, I have created a temporary page on our site to host the construction images.

I got a house up the coast and drive past the 'proposed' site just about every weekend. Hopefully I will be able to get some construciton pics happening.

Hey guys, I have some images to upload but am experiencing some difficulties posting them. I will keep you posted.

Ground work has started on the ride. I was at the park a week ago and got some photos which I am still yet to post.

The Avis Antique Cars have been completely torn down and removed. This is where the new attraction will be located. I will get round to posting some of the photos in the near future.

Unfortunately I wasnt able to get out to the festival. Grrrr.

When is there a show/festival/carnival next in South East Qld or Northern NSW?

Princess, umm, thanks for your clarrification. I would never have found the place if you didnt point that out. LOL. Thanks for the info guys. Would be good to give Cyber Party a go. Get some onride footage. I got some pretty decent footage of Space Roller and Hard Rock at Ekka. They ride ops all lov...

I have never seen or ridden Cyber Party. What is the experience like?

Might see if I can get out there. Where are the Cleveland Showgrounds?

Come on guys, leave Chris alone. It's his choice if he wants to share his own material or not.

As Chris said, there are other people who dont submit stuff on the site. There would be other people out there who have rainbow pictures. Why does it always have to be the same people contributing items?

I visited Dreamworld again today (26/04/06) and it seems construction on the water park is proceeding full speed ahead. Not only is there construction happening in the Thunderbolt grave site and in and around the Cyclone, supports are currently being installed in the front corner of the water park. ...

Okay guys, I have adjusted the background colours slightly and can now see the cursor on the message post box and posted messages box. Please let me know if you are having any other difficulties. Thanks for the offer of help Vee. If we still have problems I will be coming your way. Look out... LOL M...

Crazyboi, do you mean like Wet N Wild's lazy river?

Part of the plans was to include a large wave pool. That alone would be quite costly.

Hey everyone. I went out to Dreamworld yesterday (30 March 2006) and got some construction pics of the new Dreamworld Water Park. The carparks have had a massive overhaul, but if you ask me, it seems they wont have enough parking for two parks at peak time. However, they may have additional plans up...

Should I duck for cover?

Hehehe, wasn't trying to rub it in at all. If anyone ever wants to go theme parking, just drop me a line.


Come on people, if you are going to vote, write some text to backup your decision. I want to hear why you are voting a particular way.

I will have to say Movie World in my opinion has the better coasters. I back this up with - their coasters has multiple trains - their ride themeing is very well done - staff and que lines go right up to the rides and que lines move quicker If you compare the two upside down coasters - Lethal Weapon...

With Dreamworld and Warner Brothers Movie World having equal amount of roller coasters, I thought I would pose the question on which park do you think has the best coasters. The list is as follows: Dreamworld - Cyclone - Tower of Terror - Runaway Reptar - Eureka Mountain Mine Train Movie World - Let...
