Adventure World is a small theme park in Perth Australia that is getting something rather large for November this year. A Gerstlauer Eurofighter which will be almost identical in layout to Saw. The guy from Adventure World clearly loves Saw as he has ridden it a few times and feels it will offer a great thrilling experience.

A little video on the new ride, some nice clips of Saw plus the music, and a look at the manufacturing process at Gerstlauer.

The indoor section (I'm guessing it will be enclosed) is already complete and does replicate Saw's (pictures from Adventure World's FB page).

All very interesting and if they can make it so that there is no jolt this will be a great ride (which I'm beginning to find with Saw).

The theme is unknown but going by this piece of promo I'd say it will be a dark theme of some sorts.

I am looking forward to see how this project progresses.

Will be interesting to see how onload/offload works.

If rumours are true, some of Saw's problems derived from the dual loading / having a separate onload and offload platform, and haven't been repeated on any other Gertslauers. But with an identical indoor layout, and almost identical layout on the whole, it'll be interesting to see whether they go back to 1 onload/offload station, scrap the dual loading, or scrap the different onload and offload stations or what.

Might be a step forwards for the company and future products..

Abyss now has a nice little page of its own.

This spectacular custom built roller coaster will feature four inversions through daylight and a secret dark section as well as a zero-g -roll, rollover loop, cobra roll, and inline loop. For those of you that don't speak roller coaster, that translates to OMGTSS (oh my God that's seriously scary)

I'm not to sure where the cobra roll and inline loop are but still.

The entrance is taking shape.

And some theming.

It is shaping up to be a decent investment for a small park and will be opening very soon!

Test run video of the ride below. I have to say, that airtime hill looks very strong and also seems to provide a very close headchopper with the catwalk of the MCBR. However, the twisted drop off of the MCBR does look like a very sharp transition. I hope it doesn't ride badly with the OTSR's.

You can tell the ride is heavily inspired by Saw from that video. It really does look like the same ride with a few elements tweaked / moved to accommodate the space they had.

Looks like a good coaster, like Saw, and hopefully due to the standard 97 degree drop it has, the infamous jolt so many complain about on Saw won't happen. Must admit, that airtime hill looks like it'll be the highlight of the ride!
