The Beachouse, Amusement park in Glenelg, Australia
The Beachouse is a five-storey family entertainment complex on the Glenelg foreshore in Adelaide. Its attractions include three enclosed heated slides up to 130 metres long, Soli Italian Formula One dodgem cars built in Bologna, a seven-storey Playcastle, a restored 120-year-old carousel, an 18-hole western-themed mini-golf course, bumper boats with water cannons and a miniature train circling the golf course. The Function, a hire venue for up to 200 guests, occupies Level 3.
The Beachouse replaced Magic Mountain, the arcade and entertainment venue that stood on the Glenelg foreshore from 1982 to 2004. The five-storey complex took over the same beachfront site, and its carousel is a 120-year-old ride carried over from Magic Mountain and fully restored. In December 2015 the site's operators set a Guinness World Record for the world's tallest inflatable waterslide with The Big Wedgie, 18.2 m tall and 82 m long.
The carousel at The Beachouse is about 120 years old and once operated at Magic Mountain, the arcade venue that stood on this Glenelg foreshore site from 1982 to 2004. It has been fully restored and now runs inside the replacement complex.
The complex sits on the Glenelg foreshore and is arranged over five levels, with The Function function room on Level 3 and an open balcony overlooking Glenelg Beach. The heated slides, dodgem cars, playcastle, carousel, mini-golf, bumper boats, train and arcade are distributed between the floors, so allow time to move between them. The Function is hired out daily and can hold up to 200 guests, so check availability if you plan to use it.
In 2015, the park set a Guinness World Record with The Big Wedgie, an 18.2-meter tall inflatable water slide featuring a 55-degree drop. This extreme slide draws visitors seeking thrills and adrenaline rushes.
