Australian Amusement Fanatics

Just got back from the states and went to the Florida State Fair. Zamperla has made their first trailerized version of Air Race called Air Raid. It is a awesome piece of machinery and so smooth to ride. This is the ride someone filmed at the Texas State Fair. This is the only one so far! http://www....

Check out the action on this ride called the orbit : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbjPAM65 ... page#t=26s

The whole vid is good with some old classics from a old theme park in Ohio pre 1984

Its a Mega Mixer that doesnt go upside down.

Yes we will deffinately be still running on Saturday.

Come say G'day when you get there

Wave Swinger is on the Ekka, If it didn't get on it would have been at North Lakes

Theres so much less space why would they double up.....geez.

Midnight Madness will be at Northside Fun Fair!!!! When I was at Redcliffe show Midnight was smashing Rockstar for riders hahahahaha

Yes there are 2 Huss Rainbows in Australia

Youngs brought one in this year, not sure when it will be on the road but you dont fork out that kind of money to have it sit in a paddock and rot away

Thats what I was getting at

Dont worry Mixer we will all get our Rainbow fix sooner than you think

Rockstar got on and we all know that was going to happen being brand new but the funny thing is it has been getting slaughtered by Ali Baba's and Midnight Madness when they have been on the same shows. Nothing new really and pretty much the same line up as last year. The showbag tent in sideshow all...

North Lakes will be the biggest carnival this year during the Ekka with Robinsons Circus doing 3 Free Shows daily, Monster Trucks and Fireworks. Not sure of our full lineup as of yet but can confirm Cyber will be at North Lakes

Cairns, Gatton and Mossman

So nothing really in Brisbane area, Gatton would be the closest

No Cyber Party will be at Noth Lakes Fun Fair during Ekka

Went to the Dreamworld 30 year staff reunion last Saturday night. About 1200 turned up and was a great night. Was good to see so many faces again and reconnect with people I hadn't seen since leaving the park in 2000 to do my own thing. Buzz, TOT, Wipeout, Bumber Bowl (or whatever they call it now d...

This round shape in the building was where the Matterhorn lived at Grundy's. It was a Red Rooster but not sure if it still is

I love Rock & Roll, but the only things I will criticize on are that the cars don't rock enough. Its not all about speed. I don't like Rock and Roll for this exact reason. They run the thing so fast it loses the action this ride was made for. Might as well be an Explorer without the lift. I fin...

No secret they were all built by S & W Amusements in the UK. The same manufacture who the guy in Perth stole his design of the Cup and Saucer from

Its a O'Neils built unit

No. Carnival of Flowers was a Guild Job for years and Michael got it off the same as Jacaranda so Im sure guild members dont do any of the festivals he does.

It was Carnivallands Hurricane at Carnival of Flowers
