Great video, would love to go back before my time and see the shows just as they were there. And that's filmed at the old Sydney Showgrounds, guessing the concert was in the SCG?

Very interesting!

The music clip may've been from 87 but I'm not too sure whether the footage is as I am fairly sure there weren't any Double rangers in Australia at that time; please correct me if I'm wrong about that! I know the Huss model debuted in 1988, operating at Hawkesbury before going to Expo in Brisbane and I think the current Wittingslow one turned up around 1991?

As for Music Express, probably the tango Train currently at Luna Park Sydney which was previously known as the Disco Train at Darling Harbour and Music Machine on debut.

Wouldn't I love $2.50 rides again!

double ranger is not huss it is fabbri ranger was ex wittingslow now belong to garry o'niells.
yes wittingslow owned huss ranger in 1991 sold to luna park sydney.
disco train are music express now at luna park called tango train.
music machine was ex wittingslow now is belong to lewis osborne now called the rage still operating.

[benclare]

Thanks for the clarification. I'm always interested in the history of rides, where they have operated etc.

and didnt our Huss Rainbow have a short stay in the USA before coming to Perth when Crowley bought it? then sent to Melbourne to Wittingslow in 88?
