My Dad and I are independents I guess you could say, weekenders or afternoon shift is what others would
Trevor not doing the Royal is not a surprise, that the Tumbler isn't either is a surprise. I'm sure he could have found somebody to op it for him. As far as I know he has yet to sell it, though I'm not exactly in the loop.

Yeh, all the Showest rides are right down the bottom near the Chairlift. Is Chaos and Claw there yet? Its funny how Perth show gets a Sizzler, there would be no way RES would probably want a Sizzler on their midway except if it was Pavier's Supa Sizzler. I'll have to make a trip to Perth, looks like a fun show
Quick report guys:
- Chaos arrived, parked in carpark for now
- Claw arrived, still racked but in position where the technojump use to be
- Flashdance fully set up - where tumbler use to be
- Haunted hotel fully set up
- Twin flip has arrived and being set up
- Energy storm - being set up while i was there, however it has taken position where the hurricane use to be - don't think the hurricane will be coming this year as there is now no more spaces.
Im not sure of any other posts on this ride but what do people know about this energy storm ride? it looks like it has a similar style to the orbitor? is it popular? it looked a bit shabby when i walked past it today, although they were setting it up so it may be ok once setup.
looks like everything is here now.
Huge winds and rain in Perth today, one sideshow tent collapsed and the canvas ripped. Also a giant white marquee had toppled over, ripped in half and is ruined. Shows the importance of having properly pegged and tied down stalls!

All joints are required to have bolts in the poles, are they not?mmk wrote:one sideshow tent collapsed
Best way is to double peg each corner - one one from each side of the canvas, but I don't need to tell you thatmmk wrote:Shows the importance of having properly pegged and tied down stalls!
Edit: Just don't scratch the powder coating!

you know what my dad's like, i dont need to explain!. haha
For the stall frames - we dont bolt them - good idea though. But i find with a tight canvas it will hold the whole frame together. You are right about the double pegs - an extra peg or a ruined sideshow game... i know what i'd choose!!!!!
snails?
