AUSSIE World's five-year expansion has reached a major milestone, with approval granted for two new rides at the theme park approved.

The Sunshine Coast Council approved the material change of use application last week for two new rides at Aussie World, which will replace existing attractions.

The two rides, the Crazy Mouse and Typhoon 360, will come as part of the theme park's planned expansion, which is set to feature a total of seven new attractions.

The Crazy Mouse rollercoaster will replace the Wild Mouse roller-coaster, and the Typhoon 360 will take the place of the Octopus ride.

The Typhoon 360 is a pulse-pumping, more extreme version of Dreamworld's The Claw ride.



The Crazy Mouse comes as a significant upgrade to the Wild Mouse, and is a favourite at theme parks across the world.



Aussie World last year announced the five-year plan to expand the park from 15 acres to 55 acres, and last November lodged a fast-track application with the council for the first two rides.

The Sunshine Coast Daily has contacted Aussie World for comment.
