Adventure World is a super fun theme park located in Perth, Western Australia. You can find it in Bibra Lake, about 20 kilometers from the city center. The park first opened its gates on November 11, 1982. It was originally called "Adventureworld at Bibra Lakes." The park closes each year during the winter months.
Before it became a theme park, Adventure World was an old limestone quarry. A huge amount of sand, about 380,000 tonnes, was used to shape the land. This helped create the park's exciting landscape before it opened.
The park has 25 different rides and attractions for everyone to enjoy. Some of the big ones include "Goliath," which opened in 2017. There's also the amazing "$12 million" roller coaster called "Abyss," which started thrilling riders in 2013. "The Kraken" is a massive water slide, known for being the longest, tallest, and steepest of its kind! For younger kids, there's the "Dragon’s Kingdom" area. You can also cool off at "Kahuna Falls," a water playground with a Hawaiian theme. Adventure World is open for about seven months each year. This is because it takes advantage of Western Australia's warm summer weather.
