# Adventure World (amusement park)

Adventure World is a theme park in Bibra Lake, a suburb of Perth, Western Australia. The park opened on 11 November 1982 as "Adventureworld at Bibra Lakes", and is open annually from spring through autumn, for seven months, undergoing a winter closure each year. Adventure World is just a 15-minute drive from Fremantle, and roughly 25 minutes from Perth city centre, located roughly 20 kilometres (12 mi) from the city’s main central business district. Being just 14.16 hectares (35 acres) in size, park management has enacted a self-imposed maximum capacity for daily visitors, varying slightly each season, though usually between 4,000 and 5,000 guests. When capacity is reached, the park’s gates will potentially close for safety and security reasons.
Adventure World was built on an old limestone quarry at Bibra Lake. 380,000 tonnes (840 million pounds) of sand were used to reshape the land for the initial landscape of the park before it opened, in 1982.
Adventure World has 25 different attractions, including Goliath (2017), the AU$12mil Gerstlauer Euro-Fighter-model roller coaster Abyss (2013), and the AU$7mil Kraken (the longest, tallest and steepest funnel waterslide of its kind), among others. Dragon’s Kingdom is a children’s play area with attractions for younger ages. There is also a Hawaiian-themed water playground, Kahuna Falls.
