Australian Amusement Fanatics

Do Mahons own the Superfly waterslide? I wonder how popular this attraction was, given the poor weather? I'm guessing it was somewhat of a novelty.

I'll be at the Show as usual this year and am really looking forward to it, especially trying the new rides.

I would be surprised if Rockstar doesn't show up, despite it not being mentioned on the ride list here.

I wonder whether Pavier's new ride will be there? Not sure whether it has arrived yet.

Absolutely awesome review Hurricane!

Alien Abduction was at the Easter Show but I avoided it because I heard about how fast it operated, no good for me as it was for you.

Is Splash Canyon still around anywhere? Haven't seen it for quite a while, not since Tomte Land closed down I think.

Would love to hear more about the new coaster built here in Australia.

Called in for a while today. The carnival area was quite a bit larger than last year and it was nice to see the return of the Zipper, Breakdance and Sky Flier. Disappointing not to see Hurricane but all in all, a great line-up for this year. It's a pity that agricultural shows are now so expensive t...

Good to hear Sky Flier is back. Am disappointed there's no Hurricane again; it's really disappearing from the Show circuit isn't it? Will be at Hawkesbury early tomorrow.

Pirates revenge won't be at Hawkesbury this year as it's doing Luna Park for the school holidays. This is not surprising, owing to the short duration of the Show verses the entire 2-week period in Luna Park where the ride is always popular. I hope Power Surge does Hawkesbury instead along with the H...

Thanks for sharing! I'll add it to my Likes for sure.

I'm loving the new rides of today but do miss the old classics as well.

Did the showground suffer any damage during the recent floods? I know part of it was heavily used for an evacuation centre.

This year's Show will be on from 19 to 21 April. As it will not be competing with bathurst which is on a week earlier and will be held during the school holidays, I'm really hoping for a big ride line-up . Any suggestions on what will turn up? I'm guessing the usual gear from Bell's, Chant's, Joylan...

You can't please everyone I suppose. I personally enjoyed the Show as much as I always do. Perhaps this is because I don't get to as many shows and carnivals as others on this forum so it's always exciting for me when I do go. By the way, I posted the suggestion about seating and shade in the carniv...

Glad you had a good time Princess. Totally agree with you about the lack of music but as you said, much better as the sun went down which is the best time for riding IMO. As for No Limit being tamer, I sure didn't notice that but I've always thought it's an intense ride that never fails to terrify a...

I'm sure Pavier's new dance Party 360 will be at next year's Show.

I also think the Rainbow is gone for good unless Young's one gets on which is a possibility. O'Neill's Ranger is probably gone for good too which is a shame.

I was back at the Show today, the absolute hottest day I've ever experienced there I must say! Despite this, I still had a good time and spent a bit of time in the Coca-cola Carnival which was doing brisk business in contrast to last Monday. Disk 'o I was keen to check this one out again as I had ri...

Yep I remember it! That coaster used to operate at Pavier's Carnival at the Entrance every Christmas, a great ride!

Dropped into the Show for a while this afternoon/evening and had a great time as usual. The total lack of people there was probably disappointing to the RAS but was fantastic for me as I was able to move around really easily, see heaps more than I usually do and I even found myself browsing through ...

On until 1 April, this is the OFA alternative to the Royal Easter Show and is in its third year at the Entertainment Quarter. Due to the Easter period not falling within school holidays this year, the duration of the Show has been cut down to just ten days. Apart from the usual OFA gear turning up, ...

I'm going on Monday afternoon I think and am pretty excited about it too.

It's perfect weather for Pirates Revenge at the moment!

A great lineup and good weather too.

how was your ride on No Limit?

Are you working on Sky Walker Huss?

Can't wait for these beaut attractions to arrive in Sydney.

Less than two weeks to go and I must say I am getting excited as usual! No mention of any new rides on the website or Facebook page which I've been monitoring except something called Alien Obduction, is this a rethemed Gravitron? Not sure yet what days I'm attending but am aiming for the discounted ...

Weather pretty shocking at the moment but is set to improve somewhat over the weekend. I also understand Goldenway and Pavier's gear is there too?

Definitely very interesting for me and I'll be reading those books for sure.

Waveswinger and Pirate Ship for me! Have been riding these since the early 80's and can always be relied upon for great fun! Come to think of it, the Hurricane falls into that category for me too.

I'm really surprised about this but am looking forward to seeing a Huss return to the Easter Show. Hopefully it's much faster than Luna Park's model which has potential but never operates at full speed.
