gerstlaueringvar Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Great photos! Look at those transitions on Orphan Rocker, I think people can get seriously injured even if they are going at 5mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glucky11801 Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 The Blue Mountains are amazing. I've been on that Scenic Railway! It really IS that steep! I also saw the track from the Orphan Rocker and I was like WTF??? I wanna ride that!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Hmm--looks like they made a few changes to that railway since TPR was there in 2011. Â Â Yes, the main barrier between you and a horrible injury or death itself was a plastic chain! Â Scenic World is a beautiful place, and I wouldn't mind returning there someday.

FreeFaller Posted April 6, 2015 Author Share Posted April 6, 2015 ^Wow! This old train looks terrific but amazing! The modern one is like a cage!!! I'd prefer the old version I think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerstlaueringvar Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 My grandparents rode it with the old train and insisted it counts as a roller coaster Must be quite a thrilling experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 When it "dropped" over the edge of the station and into the tunnel, it was a bit frightening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreeFaller Posted April 7, 2015 Author Share Posted April 7, 2015 Hey TPR! Â With this update, my Australia adventure comes to an end! Since I have visited many other non theme park related places in Australia, this update is covering my last theme park visit in Australia. I took an internal flight from Sydney to Perth where I visited my friend Adrian, who is also here on TPR!. We went to Adventure World, which is a small theme park that also has a water park! They recently added the new Gerstlauer coaster Abyss! I'm sorry for all the Gerstlauer fans out there, but the OTSR are very bad! So much head banging! However, the layout of the coaster is quite interesting and I really loved the airtime hill! It came out of the nothing and I was totally surprised about so much airtime! As I said, the park is very small and doesn't offer too many thrilling attractions. I loved that the park was hilly! I don't know why, but it gave the park its charm. It was very hot that day, so we enjoyed spending some time doing the slides at the water park! Don't forget to ride the cable car from the top of the mountain! You get a great view from up there and it goes directly over the swimming pool! Don't jump into the water from up there though! Keep in mind that they don't accept international credit cards, even though it says Visa! Thanks to my friend, I was able to pay with his money, but if you intend on visiting the park, brin some cash! I crashed their system twice and it didn't work! That's actually a bad thing and the park should really work on this issue! How are internationals supposed to pay there?! Â Anyway, I hope you all enjoyed my trip report and got inspired for your next travel to Australia! Can't wait for future trip reports! Welcome to Adventure World! It looks good! That's where the train goes! Really? Gerstlauer though! Typical Gerstlauetr first drop! Looks steep! Let me test this first! Blue sky and roller coasters! Abyss!! Looks interesting! Watch your head! I LOVE those old school free fall towers! Reminds me of German fun fairs! Yup, they even have a waterpark! The park seems to be in the middle of nowhere! Cable cars! The program was actually pretty decent! I look like a tanning victim! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canobie Coaster Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Awesome photos! Â I agree about the Gerstlauer OTSRs. Canobie's Untamed is a great ride, but it's hard to ride it more than 3-4 times in a row. I'm glad they seem to be moving towards lap bars on some of their newer ones. Â For the final ride photo, is that a Power Surge? I've never seen one without the typical colors and adorned with the words "Power Surge" on the side.

woolandmammoth Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Hey Marcel, I think I worked on Magnum with you my last, or one of my last, days at Cedar Point. Small world.

BugEyed Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Loved reading your report. It brought back some great memories of my trip in 2011. Especially the rain at Dreamworld. Same thing happened to us! I didn't make it to Perth when I was in Australia though. Next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry M Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Nice trip report. I did not know this park existed and it certainly looks like it is worth a (quick!) visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
