The rest of the park is made up of attractions designed for all ages. The park opened in 1985 as the Whittlesea Alpine Toboggan Park featuring toboggan rides. This ride, known as The Great Alpine Toboggan Slide still exists at the park.[7] Thunder Dome is a set of go karts which are modelled on 1950s and 1960s sport cars. The track is 400 metres (1,300 ft) long.[8]

The most recent addition to the park is Blackbeard's Fury. This ride is a pirate ship attraction which was previously located at Sea World on the Gold Coast.[9] Crocodile Creek, an 18 hole mini golf course is located behind Blackbeard's Fury.[10]

The park also has a collection of water rides. Bumpa Bay is a set of electric bumper boats.[11] "Blackout" and "Wipe Out" are tandem tube slides which are fully enclosed.[12] The third water attraction is Splashdown. Splashdown is a series of flume slides in which guests ride on a foam mat.[13]
