ADVENTURE WORLD OFFICIALLY OPENED
$12M ROLLER COASTER "ABYSS" AT FRIGHT NIGHTS

On Friday Night 1st November 2013, the winners of the Coke Zero and IGA, and Streets Icecream competitions and their seven friends, each edged past the hundreds of eager guests waiting to ride Abyss to the front of the queue. They climbed the stairs through the Fast Pass entrance and waited for the final ride checks to complete before taking their seats.

However its not all rosy, since it seems that the fireworks that they were using as part of their "fright-night" managed to set fire to their centerpiece castle;

FIRE RUINS ICONIC ADVENTURE WORLD CASTLE

Adventure World can confirm that there has been a fire on site last night following the second of three Fright Nights events.

I hope they do a Tripsdrill and add the theming after opening the coaster, otherwise, the narrative they have is just ludicrously pointless.

It's like if Saw had Th13teen's theme. I to hope they expand the theme as it looks a little...naked. The layout is alright I guess, the air-time hill looks fun. Other then that, meh. Makes me appreciate Saw even more now.

They could have used a wider angle lens...

I think building the big shed was an utter waste of money. It's like they basically cloned saw to fit the site, but did very little to actually make use of such a big show building, other than to hide the barrell roll. None of the other rides in the park have theming anyway, and I honestly reckon this is one clear example where the money would have been better spent on making the ride longer.
