Australian Amusement Fanatics

I know a lot of WA showmen have a 'vendetta' against Eastern Staters coming in on WA turf, however there would be no way the Perth Royal Show would fill the positions with just WA equipment. Rides like the mega drop do draw crowds and is a highlite of the show. $10 a ride - yes it is expensive and ...

Lew Osbourne is such a saint :roll: Word is, the RAS subs his fuel bill for the Mega Drop and Haunted Hotel and he still went and upped the price of the MD to $12 for a day. touchy subject there vee watch what you say, those sort of people do monitor these forums. But if he was charging 12$ for a s...

Its called Profiteering , all they are concerned about is lining there pockets, they are going to kill the shows if they keep ripping people off. Seen a few peices on the news complaining about prices seen a few websites. These people are just ripping people off now. its gone beyond of making a fair...

yeah show west aswell 9$ some others 10$

So hows the show going everyone, haven't heard much? That'd be because we were working it =) Mr Deal or No Deal put it best last night, "Tough Show". im sure it was very tough go chargin 9$ / 10$ a ride, operators can only blame them self's. You can go out and charge any amount of money, ...

Yeah, iv seen two editions, they release one each year. It has all the family with there rides for each month.

THE SGA released there own calender.

Way off the grid with this one, all the eastern state opperators do get loans to buy there rides, a ride broker may have simply did the deal for the Aussie opperator. Therefore the broker is entitled a fee which may be paid at a later date. But I have not heard of any rides over here that are lease...

lease? Loan? Companys do have to take out loans to buy rides, trucks , generators. yeah loans through the bank or credit institutions you mean. But im talking about actual 'Ride Brokers' that purchase the ride, then rent it to an operator who maintains it and does the show runs with it. I know of t...

I was speaking to an operator the other day and they mentioned many of the new/2nd hand thrill rides in Australia are not actually 'owned' by the operator, merely a lease agreement between the operator and the broker where they pay a monthly fee for use of the ride until it has covered the cost. i ...

Brendan, with the amount of powder coating my family use, I think we are better off buying the friggen machine. I still look it looks better than plain steel, and obviously better than paint! you know what my dad's like, i dont need to explain!. haha For the stall frames - we dont bolt them - good ...
