iTomzXD Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 Welcome to the Australia Theme Park Discussion Thread , The most famous theme parks in Australia are found in Brisbane , Gold Coast , At Queensland . Instead of making millions of topics , let's just keep it simple here. Note : I'm from Malaysia ( South East Asia ) and some spelling may be wrong to Americans but us here follow British English Please e-mail me if there's any correction , additional information , additional theme parks , incorrect spelling , improper grammar and so on , and please have a manner when you e-mail me. Basic Theme Park information before you get started. Brisbane , Gold Coast Dreamworld dreamworld.com.au/ News : Recently , Dreamworld has made a new music video by Blame Ringo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Bx-CEEv_9M This is the most famous theme park in the gold coast area , although most of the rides are famous , but practically all of them have empty lines ! Well, except one. Rides : Roller Coasters : Tower of Terror II , Cyclone , Mick Doohan's Motocoaster , Runaway Reptar Rollercoaster Information on Tower of Terror Tower of Terror was the world's first ( or second ) coaster that went 100mph / 160kmph , It was the fastest roller coaster in the world during the late 20 century and it wasn't reversed like the Superman at SFMM that is being refurbished right now . It opened somewhere before the year 2000. In August 18th 2010 they closed the ride , then in July 7th 2010 Dreamworld Australia announced that Tower of Terror II is being refurbished and the cars are being launched backwards , being the first launched free fall reversed roller coaster . Somewhere in September 2010 , the ride opened up , and the queue for the ride takes about 15 minutes ~ 2 hours . Many guests commented that it was more intense than the original one . Many were statisfied . Here's an offical POV of the Coaster from dreamworldAU ( Youtube channel ) This is almost what you are going to experience at SFMM's Superman Escape from Krypton . Well , except for all those special effect and the extremely long tunnel. Thrill Rides : Giant Drop , The Claw , Wipeout , Angry Beavers Spooty Spin , Rocky Hollow Log Ride , Thunder River Rapids Ride Information on Giant Drop Giant Drop is attached to the Tower or Terror's Giant Tube thingy . The Giant Drop at Dreamworld, Queensland, Australia, drops from a height of 119 m (390 ft), giving riders five seconds of free fall time before being brought to a halt by electromagnetic brakes. The ride, which is as tall as a 30-storey building, opened on 26 December 1998 and cost AU$12 million (£4.5 million or US7.4 million)! It is also given an award for the Tallest Vertical Drop Ride in the world by Guinness World Records . Movie World Australia ( NOT GERMANY ) Also a very famous theme park in the Gold Coast area . This Theme park is owned by Warner Bros. Home to many of their ultra-expensive roller coaster and landscape. But compared to Germany , this park is much smaller than there. At certain times , there will be a parade or entertaiment crews doing something somewhere outside the Police Stunt Academy . The most common you will see is Scooby Doo and the gang doing some stuff. Not quite sure how to Explain. The latest ride there is the SUPERMAN Escape . It is another Accelerator Coaster or a Strata . ( Not quite sure ) that goes 160mph / 100kmph just like Tower of Terror II at Dreamworld . Also there's the Scooby-Doo Spooky Coaster ride , which cost the park $13 million dollars to construct , including the special effects , elevator , swinging axe , train , wild mouse tracks , transfer tracks , lazers and more. Now I'm probably going to see some '' Hey! iTomzXD what are those thingys on the Scooby Doo Ride? ''. Hah.. I don't want to spoil the fun . Go there with TPR or yourself and find out. The whole ride is almost the exact replica from one of the Scooby Doo Films. Lastly , the infamous Lethal Weapon Roller Coaster , also known as another ... wait for it... SLC!!!!! ( Suspended Looping Coaster ( Vekoma )). Roller Coasters : Road Runner Rollercoaster , Superman Escape , Scooby-Doo Spooky Coaster , Lethal Weapon Thrill Rides : Wild West Falls Adventure Ride , BATMAN Adventure - The Ride 2 , LOONEY TUNES River Ride , BATWING Spaceshot You May post any rumors , talk the talks , and bahblahblah . Enjoy!~ - Sea World Australia ( Soon ) Note : There's also a few AMAZING waterparks here at Brisbane , Gold Coast , so during the summer at Australia , ENJOY AND GET WET!!
