Guest The Pom Queen Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 AGEING Gumbuya Park will become a $50 million “world-class” destination with a bush resort, water park and even a helipad for cashed-up tourists. The owners of the park say the reinvention will turn it into the “Disneyland of Victoria” and see its workforce jump from just 56 employees to more than 500, with a focus on hiring ex-auto workers. The Tynong attraction will be renamed Gumbuya Oz-Venture Park, and will be aimed at local, interstate and international guests. It will also host conferences and functions. The nearly 40-year-old park, about 65km from Melbourne, will include a drop tower, lazy river rides, a dinosaur attraction and a walk-through aviary. Set on 166ha, the park is currently home to more than 300 native animals including dingoes, wombats, koalas, emus and various bird species. But as its reinvention moves forward, new native species will arrive. Along with additional animals, more rides and experiences will be available. A family zone will include a 4D adventure theatre, a ropes course, drop tower and disco ride while the water zone will feature a lazy spring river ride and a Walking with Dinosaurs attraction.
