Womp's thread of stuff
Well after a huge influx of support for the above idea, i've decided to go ahead and cancel it.
I have too many other things backed up, that i need to finish.. Don't need to add another one.
I couldn't find a general news thread on here, or anything like it to post this in, so i just decided to post it in my thread instead.
Anyway, i heard on the news recently that Luna Park Sydney is going to be getting a $30m facelift which includes a bunch of new permanent rides. One of which will be a new 'big dipper'. A launched monorail coaster from what i hear.
Article can be read here . I hope the link works for everyone..
Here u can see a YouTube video of the Launched Monorail :
Thanks for that clip, MrRC. I'd only seen a short snippet of the layout on the news. Hadn't seen the whole thing or on-ride animations.
I haven't been there in years now, but i'd say the place was well overdue for something like this.
@ Womp83 , i assume u from The Netherlands right ? It was for me 14 years ago the last time in Australia.
No, i live in Australia. Specifically in Sydney, where Luna Park is. (well, one of them. The other park is in Melbourne, Victoria)
I just haven't been to the park since i was possibly in my early/mid teens..
@ Womp83
OK nice to know.
Hey peoples, i finally uploaded my Dodge Viper coaster. Remember that?
Not sure what was happening, but on multiple occasions, i'd get errors trying to upload it. Now we have a faster internet connection, it uploaded with no dramas. I'd never had issues uploading on the old exchange.
Anyway, it's here now. Go and play. And let me know what you think.
Edit: Here's a link

So, that new Big Dipper at Luna Park Sydney i spoke of further up the page has opened. Didn't know about that until just a few days ago.
I also didn't know that a new coaster had been built at Dreamworld on the Gold Coast in Queensland. Steel Taipan. RCDB tells me it's a Mack multi-launched coaster.
Here's some on-ride clips i found.
Big Dipper, Luna Park.
Steel Taipan, Dreamworld.
The rear seats on one of the trains spin around. So here's a pov clip i found of that too.
Got another new ride update for an Australian park here. Heard about this on the radio while in my car just recently.
Sea World in Queensland is getting a new wooden coaster called Leviathan. It's still under construction and will probably open sometime this year. Check out the link below for more info and images. I like the way the front of the train looks. Page tells me the last car of each train will face backwards.
So i've just had an idea, and i wanted to drop it here to get some thoughts.
Yes. A wild mouse of some sort, themed to the cartoon Danger Mouse. Who would like to see me try/do that?
And i was going to try and have very minimal to no custom 3d scenery on my next coaster i did, lol.
