Aussie World
Anyone who’s driven the highway between Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast would have seen the iconic Banana Bender Pub.
As part of one of the most Australian pubs in Queensland, the theme park Aussie World has grown as part of the attraction.
Today Aussie World has a collection of over 30 rides and games providing entertainment for all ages. It’s a great day out for the entire family and a must see for any travellers visiting the Sunshine Coast.
Aussie World Attractions
From attractions and games for young kids to thrill rides and water parks, there’s simply too much going on at Aussie world to mention all at once. We’ve compiled a list of some of the most popular rides so you can get a bit of an idea of what’s on offer.
Redback
Dubbed as the Sunshine Coast’s most thrilling ride, the Redback thrashes its outward facing riders in all directions at an impressive 16 metres above the ground.
Leak’n Logs
Perfect for a hot day, Leak’n Logs is a water play area with an outback Australian theme. Take a walk through the mist shed sitting below a leaky corrugated iron water tank, randomly tipping buckets, a log waterfall, sporadic water jets and a tin shed that simulates a tropical Queensland storm, complete with thunder, lightning wind and rain.
Phileas’s Fun Worx
With a large selection of the latest arcade, redemption and video games, Phileas’s Fun Worxs is a kid’s domain where even parents can get in on the fun. There are games designed to suit all skill levels ranging from single to duel and even group player games.
Plunge
Take the plunge on the Sunshine Coast’s only water ride. The plunge takes riders along a waterway in hollowed out logs and propels them down a water ramp at great speed… twice!
Ferris Wheel
You can easily see the classic 1960s Ferris Wheel from the road as your drive past Aussie World – just imagine what you could see from the top of it! There’s a fantastic view of the Sunshine Coast and Hinterland to be seen up here so make sure you bring your cameral along on this ride.
Giant Slide
The 15 metre height of the Giant Slide doesn’t look like much – until you’re at the top! Sitting atop a soft mat you’ll slip and slide 46 metres over a bunch of stomach lifting bumps.
Rock ‘n’ Roll Rebel
For those that love the old classics, the Rock ‘n’ Roll Rebel takes you on a fast paced ride for a rock around the clock with music from the 50s and 60s, paired up with modern special effects.
Space Shaker Swinging Ship
The Space Shaker takes you on a thrill ride up above Aussie World where you’ll be bombarded with g-forces as you’re thrown back and forth, only to experience weightlessness at the top between spins.
Wild Mouse Rollercoaster
This piece is a classic just as much as it is a thrill ride. The Wild Mouse was originally built in 1935 and the wooden construction has been carefully restored to give you the twists, turns and hair pin corners riders experienced back in the 30s.
There are plenty more rides and attractions at Aussie World to suit the whole family. Make sure you spare a whole day for a visit as there is simply too much to see and do!
