Australian Amusement Fanatics

Sorry not sure why I missed a posting photo of Power Surge- it was there in all its glory
Wish I had more time to check out the rest of the photo's / articles in the tent as it was very interesting.
Was great meeting John Short and talking to him about the Orion

A very enjoyable day in the sunshine- happy to catch up and meet a few different showmen at another interesting show http://i1132.photobucket.com/albums/m572/pam1441/Cairns%20Show%202015/487_zpszjkhvfnt.jpg http://i1132.photobucket.com/albums/m572/pam1441/Cairns%20Show%202015/483_zpsh1vzx0ez.jpg htt...

Was great while on holiday to get out and see a smaller country show. Few pics of the rides on offer http://i1132.photobucket.com/albums/m572/pam1441/Mossan%20Show%202015/580%20Copy_zps5apuysfc.jpg http://i1132.photobucket.com/albums/m572/pam1441/Mossan%20Show%202015/572%20Copy_zps339srl6w.jpg http:...

If you are referring to Shorts Orian / Enterprise that came over to New Zealand many years ago, currently in a Storage.
I think that Super Loop is in a yard in Sydney.

Had a quick visit to the park.
Has the Huss UFO that was on top of the building being scrapped? Looking at down at it look a lot like gas holes.

A short trip to Aussie including a visit to the Hawkesbury Show- a bit different than the Capital Shows I have been to in the past. http://i1132.photobucket.com/albums/m572/pam1441/201Copy_zps6340e1f9.jpg http://i1132.photobucket.com/albums/m572/pam1441/337Copy_zps32373120.jpg http://i1132.photobuck...

Not Mahons, not sure on who exactly. The weather and temperature didn't help it, but it was at the Parachute Music Festival in Summer where it was a big hit with the campers

Mahons Amusements where back at the 2014 show, with Free entry to the event even the bad weather couldn't keep good crowds away. In all I think it was a success for everyone involved. Random pictures below http://i1132.photobucket.com/albums/m572/pam1441/Easter%20Show%202014/366Copy_zps47c0639b.jpg ...

Looking for suggestions on shows on between 17th May and 25th May while I am on Holiday in the Gold Coast. Will have a car to travel but trying to find a event with a reasonable carnival area.
Many thanks
Kiwi

Picture of Mahons fleet ready to head into both Sites for Easter Downtown.


The red trailer is JBC Amusements- the ex Cookie Bear factory now a very nice Ghost Train from the South Island.

Drove past last night Ferris Wheel looks bright, but not next to a main road. Slide had been started on, but not much had changed since last week. http://i1132.photobucket.com/albums/m572/pam1441/Eastershow/0711280x768_zps24709bd3.jpg http://i1132.photobucket.com/albums/m572/pam1441/Eastershow/06712...

Easter Downtown

Will be interesting to see what arrives, and how much each ride is, not much info on the Show's page. Heard Ex Cookie Bear factory now a nice looking Ghost Train, and presume the Hurricane is coming up from the South.

Great photos, thanks for sharing
How old is the new Graviton?
Cheers
Kiwi

Now days only once or twice a year

Not really muched changed this year- just a a few different rides at each event. Also a new Carousel for Mahons the first time out after a refurbishment / retheme http://i1132.photobucket.com/albums/m572/pam1441/Summer%20Carnials%202013/288800x600_zps3c8d598c.jpg http://i1132.photobucket.com/albums/...

It's appearing for the first time at a number of these shows so really popular.

Few more, again not the best weather- Wind has been a real problem so far http://i1132.photobucket.com/albums/m572/pam1441/Hawkes%20Bay%20Show%202012/IMG_4316800x600.jpg http://i1132.photobucket.com/albums/m572/pam1441/Hawkes%20Bay%20Show%202012/IMG_4318800x600.jpg http://i1132.photobucket.com/album...
