Business as Usual at Aussie World
Village Roadshow Limited's cancellation of its plans to purchase and turn Aussie World into a major waterpark has not had a negative impact on the Sunshine Coast attraction.
Aussie World General Manager David Thompson has told Australasian Leisure Management that the decision was a shock but it is "business as usual" at the amusement park adding "we've had exceptional numbers through the gate during the September/October school holidays.
"Naturally we're disappointed with this decision as the Sunshine Coast would have benefitted enormously, however, we have an incredible and valuable resource here at Aussie World and we will continue to provide cost affordable family fun for locals and tourists."
Incumbent Aussie World owner John Paini added "Aussie World and the Ettamogah Pub is a brilliant place with enthusiastic staff providing solid results and the (Village Roadshow) decision won't deter us from continuing to provide a world class tourist attraction on the Sunshine Coast."
