Australian Amusement Fanatics

Well gang it"s here again for another year. I've already seen equipment coming in to be set up. Wondering if Barney has his new ride on the ground.

Well folks news is out that there will be 2 Major Carnivals in operation at Northlakes and Browns Plains in operation against the Brisbane EKKA.

Must be getting full on now not long before it's on again.

So Gary has pulled out of it all together

Well... I'm sure if Chris does read the forums he is going to laugh at this little bit... I was talking to him and he asked if I wanted the "Long" or "Short" Cycle. So I asked for the long one, so me and my friend jumped on the ride. After about 2 minutes my friend started to loo...

If I can remember back that far Hurricane. Dean's originally owned by Wittingslow's operated from early 70's John's is the Luna Park Sydney unit again early 70's. I'd say sometime around 73-75 best guess.

I think that for a ride that's just under 40 year old a 100K is just a little steep.

I don't think this ride will sell here in OZ.

To my best knowledge it will be at least 2 weeks before our Engineers in the States complete their reports on the 4 units currently available. As soon as these details are available and the owner makes his descission on which unit he is after, and we forward the LOC and get the unit on board ship bo...

Recieved confirmation today that a T/M Orbitor is on the way here to Brisbane subject to Engineers Inspection which will go into service after refit around early - mid 2010. This is really great news as this has always been my favourite ride.

Huss, Marsh's always do Perth, and since Luke is now a member of the WA Showman's Guild he'll probably stay there to do most of the shows after Perth Royal before returning to do Coffs Harbour

Great shots Huss.Especially the ones really up close on the rides and XXL.

It's been on the market for the last couple of years, with no takers.

Great photos and reviews SRF, and dell. Just waiting for Huss's Photos and review now.

About time it was on the road and working

Gees great to see these old photos from Expo Park.

Redfest 09 otherwise know as Relands Strawberry Festival is on again this week-end at Cleveland Showgrounds. I'll be out there on Friday setting up to operate. It runs Friday night, Saturday day and night and Sunday day.

So is that Musik Express the Mack model now at Luna Park or is that the Music Machine? Sorry my question hasn't been answered lol. And didn't know Johnson's owned a Tilt, wonder if its still here or sitting in a yard somewhere? Now Top Gunner, Wittingslow's Music Machine and Musik Express are 2 com...

Back in '77 & 78 when I toured with Wittingslows they bought their Zipper, Orbitor, Matterhorn and Music Express on the Northern Run. The Zipper and Orbitor did the full run whilst the Matterhorn and Music Express did Maryborough,Bundaberg, Rocky, Mackay, Townsville, Cairns and then straight thr...

Might be good with a Roman Candle off the Centre pole.

It use to do the Rocky show each year when it was own originally by Wittingslows, back in the late 70's & 80's.

Well Topgunner, Paul Watkins left Brisbane this morning with the Track & Trooper bound for Penrith, but Chippa'a Freestyle is still parked out at Redcliffe Showgrounds.

This should help explain things princess,..Rides arrive here in 1 of 4 fashions, Closed Containers, Open Top Containers, Flat Racks & Ro-Ros. Before any item can depart the loading port, any item made from organic material requires to be fumigated before departing it's loading port. This also is...

Very witty, something different to amuse our days

Well it's almost over for another year. And what a show 4 new rides operating for the first time ever at Brisbane. And what should have been a real busy time for the operators seem to have turned out to be a financial disaster for some of them. Walking around side show alley during people's day on W...
