The Big Banana launches new axe throwing attraction
December 8, 2024

Coffs Harbour’s The Big Banana Fun Park has unveiled its newest attraction, Axe Throwing, debuting for the peak summer season during the park's 60th-anniversary celebrations.

This innovative twist on traditional axe throwing incorporates the high-technology Champ Throw system, featuring four dynamic lanes with digital targets that promise engaging gameplay for all ages.

Key Features:
Innovative Gameplay:
Powered by the state-of-the-art Champ Throw system, this attraction boasts a touchscreen interface, moving digital targets, and a rich array of games.

The system is housed in an arcade-like cabinet with high-resolution graphics that elevate the traditional axe-throwing experience.

Axe Throwing League: Ideal for those seeking a competitive after-work activity, a league will provide a fun team activity for those looking for a new hobby.

Family-Friendly: While traditional axe throwing is expected to be the most popular option at the new attraction, special safety features include Soft Velcro Axes, ensuring a fun and safe environment for our younger participants of all ages.

Interactive Engagement: The Champ Throw mobile app will allow players to create avatars and custom profiles. At the same time, gameplay achievements and a diverse game library for continuous fun.

Night-time Excitement: Adding to the popular Escape Rooms and Laser Tag Arena, the Axe Throwing attraction will help transform the precinct into a vibrant night-time hub, complete with a food truck offering delicious meals, outdoor seating, and stunning Coffs Coast ocean views.

Alcohol-Free Beverages: A selection of zero-alcohol beer and wine will be available, ensuring a safe experience for everyone.

Group Bookings: Perfect for parties and corporate team-building events, private hire rates and group booking deals will be available.

The Big Banana Fun Park Chief Executive, Michael Lockman "we are thrilled to introduce the cutting-edge Champ Throw axe throwing experience as part of our 60th anniversary.

“This new attraction underscores our commitment to innovation and providing unique entertainment options for all ages. It's not just about throwing axes; it's about creating memorable moments and new ways to engage and excite our guests.

“While traditional Axe Throwing is expected to be the most popular option at our new attraction, we are excited to be able to provide an option for our younger guests with the innovative soft Velcro axes.”

With a focus on innovation and customer satisfaction, The Big Banana has entertained visitors for 60 years.
