Metropolis has gone bye-bye!
So what rollercoaster/flat ride do you think they'll put in it's place? I have a STRONG feeling it's going to be a Zamperla Crazy Coaster themed as 'The Tickler' But I can't say that for certain yet. Anyway the only thing that LPM have told us about the new ride is that it's going to be CRAZY! We'll know by Thursday what's gonna be happening 

I am a ride operators dream or nightmare...you decide.

Re: Metropolis has gone bye-bye!
they should put the original old day big dipper wooden rollercoaster which they still got 6 cars its belong my old days not the crap new rides!
Re: Metropolis has gone bye-bye!
I agree that the possibility is strong that a new coaster in LPM COULD be from Zamperla. The Tickler theme is pure speculation based on nothing more than your opinion and is also dependent on the coaster being a Zamperla spinning coaster. There is currently no evidence for this. Personally , if we are talking pie in the sky stuff, then a Gerstlauter Eurofighter or a Maurer Sohne Spinning Coaster would be ideal. Both would be Australian firsts and would firmly put LPM on the map as a destination of choice for roller coaster enthusiasts. Would be brilliant but I am not hopeful!!

Re: Metropolis has gone bye-bye!
If I ever go back to LPM it would only to be on the Enterprise! And the Scenic Railway because I am yet to ride it and probably the Pharoah's Curse and Spider. Honestly they should scrap Twin Dragon and put in a KMG Inversion
It's be nice to have the HUSS Rainbow then my life would be complete because I'm pretty sure that the travelling ones will never return to Melbourne or Rye

Re: Metropolis has gone bye-bye!
It's official the Crazy Coaster and Power Surge will be there for the Summer Holidays. Wow isn't THAT exciting! They brought in the most generic rides. God it's sad

Re: Metropolis has gone bye-bye!
Maybe they will bring an Ali Baba in as well, the views over St Kilda with that ride would be amazing

Re: Metropolis has gone bye-bye!
Screw the Ali Blabla
That thing is a joke
An absolute joke of a ride! If you want views bring in FreeStyle or SkyFlyer. I just cannot stand the Ali. Anyway Pharoah's Curse would be higher anyway...wouldn't it...

Re: Metropolis has gone bye-bye!
Haha so it's just some temporary holiday rides nothing crazy about that! I thought it was the announcement of a new ride but sadly not. I would have at least added a Zipper for summer or even Hurricane or Extreme. They've had Power Surge before anyway.
Re: Metropolis has gone bye-bye!
I wonder what will happen to the old coaster? A shame it is being removed IMO.

Re: Metropolis has gone bye-bye!
linfox still keep the old coaster storage at warehouse dont know what the plan yet
Re: Metropolis has gone bye-bye!
Would love to see it travel, perhaps doing the West Coast or go into Luna Park Sydney. Not much hope of either I suppose.
Re: Metropolis has gone bye-bye!
Honestly... I can see the ride being sold for parts, probably for the Taipan...
