New Theme Park Proposed for Australia - Update
More information has been released about the proposed new theme park for Australia.
Village Roadshow, the company behind the plans will call the theme park African Safari World and will redevelop the existing Werribee Open Range Zoo to link it into the new park and the African safari theme.
The theme park would include an African animal tour, thrill rides, rollercoasters, water rides, man made lakes and mountains and a 4D theatre, while the redeveloped zoo would see improvements to habitats and enclosures, increased numbers of animals, an education and conservation centre and an Australian animal experience.
The proposal says the park could be operational by 2010 and draw 1.3million visitors each year, bringing in AUS$864m to the State of Victoria’s economy.
