Colse35 Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 (edited) Just got home from a day at Sea World on the Gold Coast! The park has closed quite a lot of attractions in the past few years, such as; Skyway, Sea Viper (Arrow Coaster), Vikings Revenge Flume Ride and Spongebob 3D. The problem is they haven't replaced them with new attractions! The park did say that they will construct a replacement for Vikings in 2019. Leaving only Storm and Jet Rescue as the only thrill rides in the park. But they have just built the new Nickelodeon Land with 3 themed areas (TMNT, Dora the Explorer and Spongebob). Definitely a great new fresh of life to a dying kids area. I got 2 rides on Storm Coaster and 3 on Jet Rescue. So lets get to the photos Spongebob's Boating School Blast! a Zamperla Gravity Coaster Patrick's Jellyfish Frenzy, a Zamperla Demolition Derby Good Morning Sea World! Donatello's Ninja Flyers, a Zamperla Magic Bike Very quirky ride. The Nick entrance The abandoned Vikings Revenge Flume Over it goes! Hands up I still feel like it was a complete waste of 20 million dollars, they could of gotten something so much better! Artsy fartsy It is very photogenic About to go into the bow of the turned ship Here we go! The all new shade and hub of the park. The sad remains of two closed attractions (even though one was really stupid) Polar Bear! Shark Bay really looks beautiful 2 new Polar Bear cubs were born this week but won't be out on display till September. The games kind of ruin the nice feel of the hub. Really well themed exhibit Nice and new The ride that will get you the most soaked... Battle Boats The awesome climbing play structure Very well themed corner of the park The castle were the 3D theatre and Vikings Flume were, only just under 3 years until something replaces it. Welcome to Castaway Bay As well as an awesome RCI Ropes Course... which is closed! Finally we finished the day with a walk through Creatures of the Deep, a marine themed Dinosaurs Alive area. Giant SHARK!!! It is the Kraken. Then we had a few laps saving some Seals on Jet Rescue. All you San Antonio folks will get to experience a very similar experiences soon! What a perfect view to end the day. We were having a whale of a time. hehehe Such an awesome ride, personally I enjoy it more than Superman: Escape at Movieworld Edited May 7, 2017 by Colse35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThemeParkJunkie51290 Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Nice report, and Storm Coaster looks fantastic! If I ever get to Australia I'll be sure to visit this park! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCoasterKid211 Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 The park looks wonderful, I especially like the Nick area. However, did Storm Coaster really cost around 20 million USD? Quite the investment for a park that small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SharkTums Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 The thing I remember most from this park was how terrible the food was. Has that improved at all recently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillseeker4552 Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Thanks for the report! I often forget about the Gold Coast parks. Jet Rescue looks like it really packs a punch for its size. Correct me if I'm wrong, but this park is in no way affiliated with the Seaworlds in the USA, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 The thing I remember most from this park was how terrible the food was. Has that improved at all recently? The food at Sea World hasn't improved that much at all. However at Dreamworld and even Movie World the food has dramatically improved. Just don't get a burger from the village theme parks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite the investment for a park that small. Most of the major parks in Australia are all owned by a chain, similarly to Merlin. Movieworld, Dreamworld/land? and this are all owned by village theme parks group plus maybe more I forgot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Movie World, Sea World, and Wet n Wild (both Gold Coast & Sydney versions) are owned by Village Roadshow Theme Parks. Dreamworld is owned by a company called Ardent Leisure.
