Thanks guys, im going to have to save up to try to make it to th easter show next year now. Oh and the girl was fine after all

The Parkes Show is on this Monday 31st - Wednesday 2nd While i wasn't home for the show i did manage to get a comprehensive list from my family: Zipper x2 (Bad ass + ?) Music Trip x2 (Young's and Bells) Cha Cha x2 (Young's and (Taylors or Bells) Tilt (Taylors) Tornado (Bells) Twister (Youngs) Midnig...

Well after 3 massive days (I worked on the Entertainment team for the whole show and didnt get much free time), i was able to quickly grab a couple of pics on my phone, please excuse how dodgy some of them are. The Show was down in numbers on last year, and this could be contributed to the amazing w...

not even the big wheel??

I just went for a quick run through the grounds during a uni break, and a lot of the rides are in the ground already Skywalker Hurricane Joy Whizzer Ultimate Party Machine Wave swinger Ali Barber Big Wheel Tornado Dodgems (x3?) a worm looking thing and a slide and there was still quite a bit of spac...

The Gold Coast show is on from the 28th-30th August. Ive just moved up to the Gold Coast this year.. what should i expect?

It really does look like the claw all over again

Almost forgot... thanks Josh, i had a go on Pinks dodgems, they were very well presented, very smooth, had a decent cycle length and were by far one of the most popular rides

It ended up being a last minute choice, and i was really glad that i went, Ive been to Sydney and i suppose nothing really compares to it. I was going to get some photos but the battery of both my camera and phone died :( (do you know how hard it is to find a payphone). It was good to see all the ri...

Thanks. I went on it for the first time at ekka and it blew my mind away, and blood for that matter

Could you add insanity to the list?? please...

There is another one that does the rural NSW shows as well

Here's just a couple of quick facts i found about the show from an industry magazine: "Among Show entertainment, the Pirates Revenge was the most popular with 168,000 showgoers leaving a little damper from their ride. The Power Surge ride, shocked 105,000 showgoers; the SkyView Wheel took 70,00...

Thanks for the review topgunner, youngs chacha really is in a league of its own, their operators always give plenty of interaction and their gear always looks decent, its damn good to hear that the rock n roll now has padded seatbelts. Its a real shame the the show wasnt as big as recent years and t...

Hey, does anyone know the prices of the rides at adrenalin park?

Different octopus and 1 girl was killed moron it was a long time ago now, i was young when it happened, BUT still there was a death involved. We gathered that it was a different occy, but it's reputation as a ride (because of its name) has been tarnished, even after so long people dont easily forge...

thanks :D . Bells older dodgems ran like a treat, Yeah i can see why with the armbands, they were a guild promotion though and there was only 10 though, they were prizes for a competition on the radio. Another thing with the guild coupons is that many of my friends and i wouldn't have spent so much ...

Hey Guys, the Parkes show has come and gone and just before I get into a review I would like to have a little rant about the disappointment me and my friends experienced with some of the rides not accepting a guild promotion (Golden armbands – “unlimited” rides for free due to winning a competition ...

its the most cha cha's we've ever seen lol. The zipper is the older looking one with different color cages.

this is the closest thing they have to a website i think
