Australian Amusement Fanatics

Anyone know which rides are likely to be at the Bendigo Show this weekend?

Cheers.

^ Agree Princess, I say stuff what anyone else thinks!

Yeah, last years line up was pretty jam packed and also had Lauries Cha Cha if I remember too (which is always good fun). I did Ballarat a couple years ago and it was Hard Rock, Ali Baba, Space Roller, Breakdance, Hang Over, Clif Hanger and Crazy Coaster were all the majors, still needing more I did...

I may give it a miss this year if this is the line up, unless the ride list is only just what has so far been confirmed, but I doubt it. At least there was ZIPPER, MEGA DROP and a couple others last year which made it worth a look. It's a real shame since Geelong was once a regional show I really lo...

Shep Show is back again this weekend, and it's usually a very big one too I must say (I would even say better than the Geelong and Melbourne Shows of late). Has anyone got some info on what will be there?... I am keen to know since it's a nice drive up from Melbourne. I need to see and ride a couple...

yes, I have been wanting then to bring Cyber Party down to vic...that is never going to happen though. Gold Coast Show looked good, thanks for the pics.

I agree with everything said as far as Moomba goes. It had a pretty bad run for a couple years but now seems to be better than RMS. It sucks the RMS is they way it is now. Thank goodness for the regional shows too...which actually don't mind getting some old classic rides back.

Top Gunner, the list was taken from the website, click the link at the top. I would expect Taipan to be there too, maybe it was rejected for some reason? or is it there?......

yeah. I was editing my post as you posted too Huss, and I think exacltly the same. haha, I just see no need for the two at all. Oh yeah, and no Taipan too, which is kind of odd.

Top Gunner, you really have me thinking what to expect now now...haha.... hmmm? So how do you think it will be better than last year? Well ok, come to think of it, I guess it's not THAT hard to top last year (or any of the last few years which have been very average at best). I'm not getting my hope...

^ yes, I have great memories of the Force 10. Last time i rode was Moomba in Melbourne, years ago (late 90s I think).

^ I hadn't noticed the Hangover description...will be interesting to see it with sixteen arms. I can't wait :oops: On a serious note, does anyone know if the new Zyklon Loop 'Big Dipper' will make it over to the Royal Melbourne? I would think not if only due to how close the shows run together. Melb...

only a little info is on the website now.

^ I think it is a great idea! That Flyer looks excellent by the way...and the vids are just great. Ben would really appreciate these ones, especially since the audio has been retained. Keep up the great work Chris.

What a really great pic! I just wish we could all go back in time to all have a few rides on the Turbo, what a ride!!!! I miss it like mad. (love the artwork too, it's a true classic!).

welll...I hope Bells get their equipment on up there soon..(I'm sure they will).

Thanks for posting the photos Force 10 (great ride by the way, I haven't had a ride on it in years though).

It's been years since I last rode the Super Loops. Top Gunner, where am I going to have to go to get a ride on this classic of classics!!!! Do you know the shows it may travel... I've got to make some travel plans if this is all true. I'm interested in that UFO ride too, I do like the old Trabant.

hope this helps. Just upload the pics and then paste the links from image to your thread hear. Good luck!

Watkins are too busy doing what most showmen should be doing... and that is TRAVELLING their ride. Space Roller does everywhere, AND for such a massive european ride to be travelling to even the small 1 or 2 days show is what true showmanship is about! wish some other owners would do the same, even...

Last time I rode Zacchni's Zipper it was only running in one direction (long ride cycle though). Hope the show goes well for you all. Energy Storm is well worth a ride.

Hi all, I hope everyone is going well. (well, I guess most of you are all up at the RES, so you must all be having the times of your lives!!). I just wanted to report on how much I enjoyed the Power Surge ride at Moomba. The sideways flips are really great fun and crazy. I thought it would be painfu...

What happened with that 'new family coaster' which was mentioned earlier in this thread? Is it there?

I'm not sure exactly when I'm going yet. Weather forecast is that it will be quite warm all weekend. I'd imagine the crowds are going to be big, especially at night for the fireworks display. It would be nice to be up the top of the Giant Wheel for the fireworks. The ride owners should all do quite ...

There was a liftout for Moomba in the Herald Sun today if anyone read the papers. Not much is mentioned about the carnival worth noting really. I find it amazing how the media kind of ignore the carnival. I personally only go to Moomba for the rides. I have sat and watched some of the sports from th...
