Recently developers have been given the greenlight to build a new theme park on the Gold Coast called Berry Hills Amusement Park.
According to the plan, the park will have a roller coaster, Cyclone (built by Philadelphia Toboggan Coasters), a Tilt-A-Whirl, a Carousel and the world's largest Ferris wheel with a diameter of 200 feet.
At the end of May 1957, pictures were taken relating to the park's construction progress. Guests have been allowed to come in for that week to view the construction progress.
The park's main entrance is nearing completion. In the background is the park's roller coaster, Cyclone.
From this shot taken outside the park, we can see Cyclone's lift hill and station. Some construction work needs to be done on the station, otherwise the coaster is entirely done and is currently testing. For the open day the park management decided to run a few cycles to show the scale of the ride. This monster is 82 feet tall, among the tallest roller coasters in the world.
Here is the park's Tilt-A-Whirl, Twister. Twister looks to be an interesting thrill ride for the amusement park despite the fact we can only see the ride's queue house.
Now we can see the real ride!
Berry Hills will be great, since it is the only one of it's kind in all of the state of Queensland. Luna Park in Sydney is great, but people don't want to spend over a day driving to Sydney to go there, so this gives them a great alternative.
