rabid disney Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 In a contining trend of Aussie theme park boom in new rides. My work WB Movieworld has started there new attraction Batwing the Flight which will be a spaceshot themed to the new gotham city from batman begins. It will go next to the batman ride(like star tours at disney) with Superman Escape on the other side of it. http://ozcoaster.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=103&Itemid=41 Ian:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ECZenith Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 Wow, I didn't even know about this one. Will it be a multiple tower complex like Maliboomer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabid disney Posted June 24, 2006 Author Share Posted June 24, 2006 The Facts S&S tower 1 tower awesome position 200ft 20 metres higher then Superman Escape. The artist drawings ive seen at work show a really nice family area. Also this ride is really special to me as last November I was asked by work to do some research on space shots and what thrill riders in the US think of them and what size is good. So this ride makes me feel warm inside , I just wish they went with my Flash theme instead of Batman.

matty_bhoy Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 yah!!! Sea World r finally gettin sumthin new..... can we have a hint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking86 Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 Hopefully this will be a good tower. I have ridden 5 S&S towers and very few have impressed me. Heres the list: Spaceshot (Tusenfryd): Pretty good Droptower (Liseberg: Okay Spaceshot (Mirabilandia): Boring Drop tower (Mirabilandia): Boring Spaceshot (Prater): Awesome, the only really good S&S tower I have ridden. Im sorry that youre not getting an Intamin droptower because those rides are a million times better. Freefall instead of controlled speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunder001 Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 A hint on what Sea World will be getting....OK! It is something that they don't have.....Hint delivered, you will have to wait till next easter to find out.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djrappa Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 Certainly sounds about time that I go buy my favourite construction manager a beer then Ian Good to see the tower has started whilst I was away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECZenith Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 Keep us posted on that construction. If the theming is anything like Superman Escape (from what I've heard) then it will certainly be a good addition for that park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty_bhoy Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 that new ride at Sea World sure sounds exciting... but next easter thats a long way away.... hopefully its not another animal enclosure or performance a coaster is wat they need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djrappa Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 I must say that I'm pretty tempted to leave my Balder Hammer sitting on the desk at work and when John comes past next and asks what it's for I can tell him it's from Balder, go buy one of those Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECZenith Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 Oz is getting serious adding stuff to their parks recently. Hopefully a B&M springs up somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskater132 Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 Ian, Just curious to know will this ride be an S&S tower or Intamin? Thanks! Katie S&S, because she said "SPACE SHOT" Oh, and will this be taller than superman: tower of power in texas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunder001 Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 While it is not confirmed, we believe that it will be a single tower with a height of 200ft (60m). Will should not have to wait for much longer to find out with the ground work well underway, and there are rumors of new attractions coming over the next two years as well.... As far as the B&M goes, rumor has it that there will be one built at Dreamoworld next year after all the water park construction is finished. As allways, if it happens in Australia, you know where you can find it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its 200ft and 16 seats you can take that to the bank. Also as for Seaworld yes they are getting a great ride next year, but only Myself and Clint (djrappa) know what it is and wont say anything about it too the parks give the okay. As we love our jobs Next space shot update will be later this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
