Hey Mate, It's tough work, travelling you'll be living in shared accomodation. Caravan/Truck with +6 other people. Days are long but if you aren't afraid of hardwork its good fun. I'd recommend trying out with a local operator first to see if you can handle the physical demands of the work before yo...

Hey Guys, Ipswich Show is on again Friday - Sunday this weekend. Not sure what rides are there right now; But over the years, these rides have made regular apperances Cyber Party Shorts Dogems Flash Dance Hard Rock (hasn't been there since Cetek bought it) Round Up Powersurge (hasen't been here for ...

Huss, I think you are being extreme. That's the best East Coast royal show lineup I've seen in a while. Ekka and Melbourne are totally pathetic IMO. Though Adelaide and Perth do it so much better!

Hey All, Not a bad show considering the timing of it being a little off with Sydney coming after it this year, it still attracted a strong line up. Ali Baba - Gills. Hurricane - March's Big Whizzer - March's Cyber Party Claw Rok & Roll Energy Storm Dogems x3 DDS wheel Kids rides Heaps of food jo...

Hey Team,

Just wondering if we've had troubles with people's user names being highjacked? I'm sorry just reading over a few posts on here and i don't mean to sound rude, but they seem like they've been posted by Nigerian scammers?

Cheers,
Force

It is a shame about Hard Rock, I've not seen it for over 12months since it change hands..

Yeah I'm heading there on Saturday to check it out.. though rain might turn everyone away! But we need the rain, so I'm going to brave it!

Hey All, Suprised this thread hasn't started yet, RES is on 10th til 23rd of April. The Ride line-up is out for the CC Carnvial Solid Ride Line-up. No Rainbow, but no Rock Star or Alibaba either! (Is that getting closer fans??) Zipper 9D Cinema Extreme Sky Flyer Crazy Cars Rock 'n Roll XXL Breakdanc...

Hey All, Toowoomba Royal Show is on this weekend. 27th, 28th & 29th of March. The timing of Sydney Show this year might throw out some of the attractions that went last year. 2013 Line-Up was Extreme Cyber Party Kamikaze (Gill's) Hurricane (ex Wild Thing) Alibaba (Out of action) Spider Alien Abd...

Something really has to give. With prices like that you are better off going to Dreamworld!! (I know it's totally against what we stand for though) Space in the very small shrinking sideshow alley sure must be coming more expensive! We are going to lose the agricultural show as we know it if this ke...

XXXL... $15!!! That is total bulls#!t!!

Ok,thanks had no idea it had changed ownership. Techno Jump and air maxx is a total double-up. They really can't afford the space with two very similar rides! Yeah durkins portable wheel is ugly, much prefer the sky master!

Agree with you Hurricane. I'm disappointed with this line-up. Where is hard rock these days anyway?? It hasn't been at a show I've read a review on for a few months now???! It's also normally on the north run but it's a no show. It's seems to be a stale staple of rides, there isn't much variety like...

Thanks for sharing! How do you get the time to visit so many shows!
All the equipment is looking great. First time I've seen DDS wheel with the finishing centre circle on in a long time! Has been absent every show I've seen it.

Went down to Cracker Jack carnival tonight, great line up and good atmosphere. Ride Line Up Claw Midnight Madness Kamikaze Cyber Party Miami (Youngs) Cha Cha (Dales) Dogems Wave Swinger Chants Wheel + Games, Kids Rides and Food Joints. Pretty good line up for a small carnival, these showmen will for...

This was a great show. I forgot to update you all. Ride list: Extreme Kamikaze Hurricane Alien abduction Tilt Dogems x4 Spider Cyber Party Flash Dance Alibaba - broken down. Stalls blocking half erected ride Waterfalls DDS Wheel Small Ferris Wheel Had my first ride on a tilt-a-whirl. Amazing beautif...

Get Excited!! Tickets already on sale, could be biggest Ekka yet. I've got a strong/good feeling about the ride line up this year... That is all I will say.

Coming up soon in less than 15 days. 14th til 16th of June. Usually a good turn out with Wakins, Taylor's, Trindalls, joy lands chants & some of youngs gear normally goes. Always strong ride lineup. Will give photos and review.

Hey Guys, early I know. But excited to say I'm locked in for this years show. IMO Perth is one of the last authentic Royal Shows, in a state capital.
I really look up to perth. Hope it puts on a great show. Got flights with want as for $500 return from Brisbane. Bargain!

Let's get excited!

Can't wait to see the pics and hear your review. Was meant to get up there and check it out. Have heard bad atmosphere reviews..

Midnight express was using a joy lands ticket box and printing hard rock ticket, and relationship between any of those companies?

II gave round up a go for the first time ever. Interesting, ride haha. Yeah hands down great line up. Ipswich need to move it back a week inline with the start of the run north. Didn't realise it wasn't a guild controlled show.

Ipswich show wasn't great guys. I was a bit under the weather but there were a few things that disappointed me. Cyber Party, great ride always. Not yesterday, mid ride it didn't lift?? I questioned them at the end when the rather short ride was over about why it didn't lift. To which I got a shoulde...

Love Paniyiri! It's a great festival for those thinking of going. The Showmen's Guild always supports it well, even though there are multiple conflicting events. Agree with all your comments Hurricane, thanks for the photos and review. TPA's extreme is getting around a bit this year, it keeps poppin...

March's gear does paniyri or gympie these days. Haven't seen any of it out there for years. Last zipper I saw their ekkafan stayed racked on the back of a truck will be interesting to see what shows up though.

I reckon flash dance, hard rock, cha cha, dogems & power surge will possibly show
