Australian Amusement Fanatics

hi all, for anyone whos interested zipper is at a small fest in Melton Vic this weekend. Scorpion and a few others were there still racked. i havent ridden the zipper for a couple of years so looking forward to it

Thanks for posting^


Do you know which Zipper this one is? I'm just curious, although I don't care too much since it's the Zipper we are talking about.

What are the other rides as well? Hope you can shed some more light.


Thanks again,

Super Loops.

Whose Hurri? would it be Bells?

Hmmm, Hurricane is tempting me. But like HUSSR, I had planned to head out to Dandenong and only have 1 day free.

Great list melton. Probs bells or youngs hurricane

Grr... if only I had went down to Melbourne one month later as I was staying in Melton! I am curious as to who's Hurricane it is, Most likely Bell's or Youngs. But it does sound like a good lineup.

^ there is so much happening this weekend Hurricane. Ballarat is on as well as Dandenong , and of course Melton. There are just too many decisions.

Anyone have details on the line ups for Ballarat or Dandy? Both shows are good little regional shows, it''s just a pity they are held concurrently.

I had forgot about Ballarat, never ventured out for the show before. Perhaps Dragon City Amusements will have their rides there.

I have started a topic on the Dandenong Show.

Ballerat: Space Roller, Hurricane(pinks), dodgem cars, speed, Euroslide, crazy coaster, ali baba, hang over, cha cha and a few others not sure of
Dandy: ali baba, mega drop, haunted mansion, dodgem cars, cha cha, flash Dance, ferris wheel, zipper, plus more.

The hurricane at Melton is Dragon City's one will look fantastic when its finished.
Also don't hold your breath on turbo

Cheers OZshowkid

well that sux! does anyone know why? where abouts is the dandenong thing happening? Grrrr

OK Oz, thanks, so whats wrong with it, (Turbo) clearly something major.

AVP - sorry to hear you've lost Zipper at your local. I am going to drive out to Melton tonight and check it out. It is still a very decent carnival even without it. (give Hurricane a ride)

Dandenong details:

Location: Dandenong Showgrounds,
Greaves Reserve, Bennet Street, Dandenong.

It seems No Limit isn't travelling at the moment; I wonder why?

All festivals mentioned here have good carnivals, have a good time everyone!

Dandenong is fairly easy to get to. From Melbourne City, take the Monash Freeway which will get you close to the showground. Trains run in that direction too I think but not being from Victoria, I'm not too familiar with the rail system.

Ok I don't understand this... ballarat is confirming EUROSLIDE, when on the way to OAKS day yesterday, Euroslide was still in its same spot at the showgrounds, crazy coaster had been moved to where no limit was, and raupen bahn and the dodgems, were in the same place as the show...

coming back from flemington, Crazy was giving rides, probably to workers

Yeh, i havent heard of no limit since melbourne. Hopefully theres good weather 4 this wkends shows. Its wet up here in sydney.

thanks Zamperla, i will try and get to Dande on Sunday!

won't be going to dandy, would rather spend money on going out.... can't wait to see pix
