Australian Amusement Fanatics

Two majors at a school fete!!?!!....ah Ok..I've never heard of this before.Wish my school would have done this.Top Gun sounds like its looking and running awesome mate..wish it would come down to Vic.

Wow mate,amazing...those three years of diligent work are very evident.Have you even got a little smoke machine as well?!!!.

Hmmm,pretty short ride cycle..worth $15?.As for the song,I will always prefer the Kate Bush original "Cloudbusting" that Utah Saints sampled for this song any day,she is an amazing artist.

So has anyone been lucky enough to ride all our Zippers,and if so,which would you rate as the best...in terms of look/presentation and ride experience?.

Yeah, I was pretty young at the time Zamperla,around 9 or 10 (Can't be sure because I can't recall the exact year).I regret not riding Turbo while I was there...but I was spoilt for choice,and ran out of money rather quickly..as you do.I was also somewhat intimidated by Turbo..very evil looking!..ha...

I remember riding the UFO the first and only time I attended the Melbourne show..around '88 /'89.I vividly recall it didn't spin fast enough to keep me securely pinned to the back of the cage,and had to hold on for dear life..ha ha :lol: .I enjoyed it immensely though,paticularly because I'd only ex...

Very well done,you pretty much had every conceivable angle covered there Huss!.Your love of this ride is there for all to see.

Nice work Hurricane.I'm 95% certain that Cha Cha was down here in Victoria,in '06 at Traralgon.I couldnt work out whose it was either.The Kamikaze was at that show as well,and back then one of the arms had almost all the globes blown,but it sounds even worse now.At least you got a Hurricane fix,even...

Well the insurance can cover most things,but hopefully you didnt lose anything with sentimental value Hurricane?.

From the description,I'm assuming the Screamer is a Speed/Booster type of ride?.

So you're on a shaped plan i assume hurricane?,me too,and I hate it AAAAAAGGGGHHHHHH!!!.Cant wait until the end of this year when my plan ends.I'm switching to Soul's unlimited 256k plan.

Great work once again mate,some nice night shots too,always love to see rides lit up.Do you know if the Zipper is getting new lighting on the boom,it sure does look pretty plain.Energy Storm is somethimg I'm yet to experience,but it does look interesting.I remember someone saying it starts off like ...

isn't this UFO just a Trabant?,not very interesting if so.

Wow,more amazing photos,AND a video on the way.TopGunner,Huss and Kiwi,you truly are spoiling us

Thanx so much for all the work you put into that TopGunner,your pics are a consolation to all those not able to attend.Great to hear you liked No Limit,Its been over two years since Ive experienced that beast,and I miss it terribly!!.Sky Walker certainly looks amazing,but it seems you are the only p...

Huss,or anyone else attending,can you try to get some nice night shots of the rides.Would be good to see Rainbow,Skywalker etc all lit up.

Hmmm,hopefully this Superloops purchase goes ahead,and they bring it down to Vic.If possible,try to find out more about this UFO,sounds interesting.Does Skymaster give either the Ranger or Kamikaze a run for its money,or does it fall short by comparison?.

May not look as good as it did back in it's Witts heyday,but at least it looks better than it did a few months ago.

Ha,I'm the same Super Loops,I'm always distracted if good rides are around.I'll be in the city on the 10th for a gig and I'm trying to convince the people I'm going with to go a bit earlier so we can fit in some rides beforehand,but none of my mates are that keen on rides unfortunately

Nice work yet again,you're becoming quite prolific with the pics.The shot of Ali Baba at night is particularly nice.

Doesn't the Hurricane do the Bells carnival?.That Paratrooper is the one we used to get in Sale,good to see it's still travelling.Nice work with all the pics mate,look forward to more in the future.

Nice work Crazycoaster.Better late than never,ha ha!.

Was Kamikaze there too?,it usually is.They used to get a Zipper as well,but I dont think its been there for around two years.

Yes,merry christmas everyone.I'm off to my sisters place in a few hours to drink and eat too much

I rarely take a camera with me anywhere these days,so no pics,sorry guys.One thing I forgot to mention was since Pinks had two rides at this years show,I wonder if they considered bringing Force 10/Extreme Force?.That would have really made my day,I hope I get to ride this beast again soon,its been ...
