Yeah I remember when the HUSS Ranger was at Luna park Melbourne (1992-1993) was great. I paid for an unlimited ride handstamp, and hardly left the ride my whole day. i second you :D these days are the best at luna park melbourne which comes with wittingslow's galaxy rollercoaster, octopus and zipper

tasman say ride look like half of chance turbo but spins different type of way so should be arrive this year i get photo soon from him then will be interesting!

des send ranger to luna park melbourne for 2 year lease then travel for short before send to luna park sydney
if des is alive he will bring ranger back on road again
what a sad when he is gone all rides is gone no more classic but still great memories in the world
