              @OSA: You can if you want but it has never been necessary at least for the past 2 yrs. The system does not seem to keep track of your stay at all. As long as you scan a card the gate will raise.

              • lainey13 on 04/03/2019 - 16:22

                @truetypezk: If this is true you have the best comment on this post… I will try this out soon. I know for public holidays when they are open they just leave the gate up.

                • truetypezk on 04/03/2019 - 17:50

                  @lainey13: Yeah if you are not that adventurous you can still grab a free exit coupon before you leave just in case you got stuck:) that s what i did the first time testing their system.

                  • OSA on 04/03/2019 - 22:34

                    @truetypezk: Thanks heaps :) will give it a go for sure

        What's the longest you've stayed there? Thinking of seeing a movie there today.

          There is no actual limit so just watch out for their closing time.

  • anastasiastarz on 03/03/2019 - 23:48

    How do we know which dates/times are free, when using gift vou? Like before confirming.

    • edrift on 03/03/2019 - 23:54

      It'll get booked out soon I'd imagine, so I redeemed my gift vouchers already

      • truetypezk on 03/03/2019 - 23:56

        Yeah i suppose if you wanna go on weekends it is better to book in early. Wkdays should be fine though.

  • G Wok on 03/03/2019 - 23:59

    great deal thanks

  • Fluffy Pancake-chan on 04/03/2019 - 00:15

    Awesome. I've just booked two tickets for next week, thanks!

    Got one for the 24th for an afternoon timeslot. Do i just rock up sometime in the arvo or will they email me with a specific time?

    I just had some family friends arrive from overseas last week, and it's my mom's birthday this week, so this is perfect timing!

    Two birds with one scone! :P

      i heard swimming helps ;) haha..just wait out for FREE entry to swimming pools next Australia Day haha

  • AndyRoo on 04/03/2019 - 01:20

    It says you can exchange them for other stuff. I wonder if it gives you a $1 value or the value of the actual ticket cost as an exchange??

    • Seven8Nine on 04/03/2019 - 06:59

      only $1 value which is paid.

  • sev snape on 04/03/2019 - 01:37

    I mean it's a dollar so worth a shot, but it's pretty dodgy you can't book a time or know exactly when you're going… Just a general email and hoping to hear back with a time that suits…

    • edrift on 04/03/2019 - 07:14

      Confirmation email is instant.

      You don't need to go at a set time; just am or PM .

      I booked next Saturday afternoon and it was confirmed within a few minutes via email

    Two tickets for $1.80. Can’t be beat. Thanks OP

  • Kontiki on 04/03/2019 - 07:25

    Great deal. The tickets are transferable too, so great to treat or give some away.

  • Tightmike on 04/03/2019 - 08:10

    Can you take a child on an adult ticket?

  • polstralian on 04/03/2019 - 08:24

    I received the booking confirmation from Adrenaline. Do I need to redeem this anywhere or am I just good to go anytime in the afternoon (as PM selected) on the selected day?

    • scanuck on 04/03/2019 - 14:44

      I’m curious too

  • champo87 on 04/03/2019 - 08:28

    Looks like it might be dead - I was mid-booking showing $3 for 3 tix, and then checked about adding one child and it updated all the prices to full price ($100+).

    Now looking at it again, all tixs are $15 (kids and adults). Damn!

    • MaKa on 04/03/2019 - 08:31

      Same thing happened to me. Oh well, I just saved $2

  • ozzyoi on 04/03/2019 - 08:30

    Jeez its back to $15 :(

    Was good as long as it lasted!!

  • apprentice on 04/03/2019 - 08:30

    Price has increased to $15. Wanted to take the daughter there in the long weekend.

  • bob smith on 04/03/2019 - 08:32

    Seems like a pricing error.

    Ordered about 15 minutes ago, got a text 'we have been unable to process payment for your adrenaline order ref:…'

  • bt123123 on 04/03/2019 - 08:37

    $15 now

  • vetopower on 04/03/2019 - 08:54

  • fbed on 04/03/2019 - 09:07

    So I assume they will honour the deals/bookings already made yesterday for those who paid $1?

  • polstralian on 04/03/2019 - 09:20

    I just called Adrenaline and I was told that at this stage they were unable to redeem the voucher as there was a price glitch. They are working on a solution and I will get advised by the end of the day on the outcome.

    • treeman on 04/03/2019 - 09:55

      Surely they can't cancel ones that have already been confirmed?

  • digitalane on 04/03/2019 - 10:10

    They've got wise to the voucher trick - when you go to redeem you can only choose a date in March, even though voucher says valid for 3 years…..

  • PattyDaPanda on 04/03/2019 - 10:31

    Just called adrenaline, they seem to be refunding everyone who purchased it for $1. Such a shame.

      Yeah, I just got an email saying mine were refunded.

      • edrift on 04/03/2019 - 18:36

        Did you ever receive the confirmation email and if you did, did you click the received confirmation link?

        • ameebaro on 04/03/2019 - 19:20

          Yep, I got the confirmation email and clicked on the 'Yes, I have received the booking confirmation' link. Do you think it would still work if I rocked up?

  • AndyRoo on 04/03/2019 - 11:00

    I'm trying to redeem my vouchers and it won't give me any dates at all now! Should have redeemed last night

    • WarriorZ on 04/03/2019 - 11:05

      That happened to me too, but it eventually resolved after 20 seconds

      • AndyRoo on 04/03/2019 - 11:08

        How did you resolve it? It looks like theu are canceling all the vouchers from what others have said

        • WarriorZ on 04/03/2019 - 11:20

          I couldn't select dates or fill out the details. I just left the booking page idle for a moment, when I came back I was to proceed as normal.
          I figured it just needed some time to load.
          Then I redeemed another voucher and waited this time, it took around 20 seconds to load properly.

  • AndyRoo on 04/03/2019 - 11:14

    Also worth pointing out i think it is against consumer law for them to not honour vouchers that have been sold. For all intensive purposes we have purchased and paid for the vouchers so they are our already.

    • [Deactivated] on 04/03/2019 - 17:23
      +7

      Intensive purposes is an eggcorn. The term is 'intents and purposes'.

      • illumination on 06/03/2019 - 13:51

        eggcorn

        I just learnt this word because of you. Thanks. Wonder why they're called "eggcorns" lol

      Price errors aren't against consumer law and under consumer law all you are entitled to is a refund and nothing more.

  • capslock on 04/03/2019 - 11:21

    How embarrassing if you sent some off to your friends as a gift and now they can't redeem them.

    • jesslb04 on 04/03/2019 - 11:40

      Yes! I nearly did that but thank goodness I didn’t

  • Moderatorscotty on 04/03/2019 - 11:46

    We have received communication from Adrenaline that it is indeed a price error and

    • Transactions will not be honoured
    • Affected customers will be informed

    See Merchant Take-Down Request.

      Their reputation may have remained intact if they explained HOW they made the price error, and what they're doing to prevent in future.

        "price error" more like: a lot more purchases than expected.

  • upeed on 04/03/2019 - 12:34

    I received a booking confirmation.
    Can i just walk up on the day or do I need to use the voucher to book again ?

    • DeepHorizon on 04/03/2019 - 12:37

    Anyone booked in for today? I work around the corner from the wheel and wanted to book in for this afternoon during my lunch, but I was just too late (couldn't select a date on the deal anymore, despite buying the gift voucher yesterday).

    I wonder if the staff on-site would know about the cancellation of the deal.

    The title on Adrenaline was March Madness, and it was the only item with that in the title, seems they did intend some sort of ‘mad’ sale

  • AndyRoo on 04/03/2019 - 19:50

    Doesn't matter if it was a error. Once the transaction is completed and you have vouchers, it is as if you have purchased a product and they cant just change their mind and say nah not honouring our end of the deal now. They stuffed up they need to wear it, and i think if you push back legally they will have to.

  • qwerty on 04/03/2019 - 19:54
