Roller coasters • 'The Beastie' – opened 1985–2002. Half the size and height of
The Bush Beast, The Beastie was a wooden roller coaster designed for younger riders. The ride was 460 metres in length, and ran with two 20-rider trains. The Beastie was located in
Little Wonders Land/Hanna-Barbera Land. In 2002, the
Little Wonders Land area of the park was permanently closed, as the overall park was too big with rides spaced too far apart. • '
The Bush Beast' – opened 1985. A 975-metre long
wooden roller coaster that was based on the
Wild Beast at
Canada's Wonderland. The coaster operated with two
trains, each capable of carrying 28 people. It was the tallest wooden roller coaster in the southern hemisphere, until the construction of
Montezum at
Hopi Hari in Brazil in 1999. • '
The Demon' – opened 1992. A
Vekoma Boomerang steel roller coaster. The Demon was installed in 1992, after having previously operated at
Expo '88 (under the name
Titan). After Wonderland closed, it was dismantled and sold to
Alabama Adventure where it operated from 2005 until 2011 as the
Zoomerang. The ride closed in 2011 and in 2013 was relocated to Wonderla, Bengaluru as the Recoil in
India.
Amusement rides • 'Antique Autos' – opened 1985. An electric track used to propel scaled-down
Ford Model T cars through themed scenery. • 'Bounty's Revenge' – opened 1985. A large inverting
pirate ship. ''Bounty's Revenge'' could carry 50 riders at a time, in ten rows of five seats. At the time of its opening it was only the second of its kind in the world. • 'Dragon's Flight' – opened 1985. A large
Wave Swinger (similar to the
Chair-O-Planes ride). • 'Fred Flintstone's Splashdown' – opened 1994. A
log flume ride. • 'Galleon's Graveyard' – opened 1987 as "Captain Caveman's Clippers." Given the current name after being relocated to Transylvania, following the closure of Little Wonders Land/Hanna-Barbera Land. Similar to a scaled-down Chair-O-Planes, riders were instead seated in two-seater 'flying boats'. • 'Great Balloon Race' • 'HMS Endeavour' – opened 1985. Originally known as
Sea Demon, HMS Endeavour received its later name when the ride was moved in 1990 to the old location of the Funnel Web. • 'Jousting Ring' – opened 1985. A
dodgem hall. • 'Little Monsters Flying School' – opened in 1985 as Dastardly's Flying Circus. • 'Magilla Gorilla's Flotillas' – opened 1985. A small lake equipped with paddle boats. Closed in 1990 to make way for the Australian Wildlife Park. • 'Ned Kelly's Getaway' – opened 1985. A steep sled slide, finishing in water. Closed in 1998. • 'Funnel Web' – opened in 1985, and removed in 1990. • 'Scooby's Silly Stix' – opened in 1985. Removed in 2000. • 'Skyhawk' – opened 1991. A 'Parachute Tower' built by Vekoma, the Skyhawk consisted of four cars; two for sitting passengers, two for standing. The four cars would be pulled to the top of a 30-metre tower, then released. A parachute would then allow riders to slowly descend to the ground. The ride was sold in 2005 to Fly Coaster, a small
Gold Coast park • 'Skyway' – opened 1997. The only ride installed after the Sunway Group acquisition of the park, the Skyway was the old cable car from the old Sydney Showground stretching from Goldrush to Hanna-Barbera Land. The ride closed in 2002. • '
Snowy River Rampage' – opened 1985. A 960-metre River Rapid designed by
Intamin. Riders would sit in a 6-person raft resembling a large tire and float down a wide winding river with occasional water cannons which fired straight up in the air when the raft approached. • '
Space Probe' – opened November 1995. Originally known as
Space Probe 7 (due to sponsorship from the
Seven Network). The
Intamin Giant Drop was installed in 1995 and was similar to the
Giant Drop at
Dreamworld on the
Gold Coast. As its passengers are raised to the top of the tower, the car would enter a fully enclosed area (unique to this type of ride) within, TV screens would display a countdown. The riders were dropped at random – a few seconds before the countdown reached zero, or held till after the countdown had finished. • 'Tasmanian Devil' – opened 1985. A large wheel-shaped machine which lay on one of its faces, with several rocking rider cars attached around the circumference. During main operation of the ride, the ride spins so fast that the rider cars rise in the air, so the rider is horizontally parallel to the ground. • 'Wizard's Fury' – opened 1985. Relocated from
Kings Island. A
Bayern Kurve ride, where a train of carriages is propelled around a circular track at ground level. The track passes over a steeply ascending and descending section housed within a themed building. A single ride consisted of twenty to thirty revolutions around the circular track. Removed 2002. • 'Zodiac' – opened 1989. Relocated from
Kings Island. A double
Ferris wheel designed by
Intamin, Zodiac consisted of 24 gondolas mounted on either end of a large hydraulic arm. Zodiac would be operated so that while one wheel was rotating at 58 metres in height, the 12 cars of the opposing arm would all be on the ground and taking on riders simultaneously. When loaded, the hydraulic arm would be moved, lowering those who had been in the air back to the ground. There was a miniature golf course called Top Cat's Putt Putt Park; prior to the installation of Fred Flintstone's Splashdown there was a putting course known as Old McScrappy's Golfing Farm. The closure of several rides in 2002 was due to the reduction in operational area of the park. Visitors were told that the rides were being relocated to the remaining sections, so that they would be closer (as the rides were spaced apart). Some of the rides were moved, whereas others were scrapped. ==Shows==
