Thanks again mmk. Ahh, so it is kept at the showgrounds. Funny how all the showgrounds look so different without all the rides. Yes, they've been working hard and Showest have done heaps of work to get it setup that quick!

small update

Post by mmk »

Small Update of pics guys. Went down today to put some game vans in position, most of Showwest's rides are there except the orbitor - Im guessing this is to do with the size of the Nitro and needs the space to setup.

Does the Crazy Dance all load on that trailer- or extra's go on another load?

Cheers

Kiwi, the Crazy Dance is fully loaded on that one trailer. Pretty efficient huh.

The only travelling rides in Perth to my knowledge, that require two trailers is the Nitro - Frame on one trailer, Seats and Fences on another, and the Superbowl which also uses two trailers.

That crazy dance light sign lives in a truck, so does the supports to lock the metal folding sign.

Crazy Dance

At a best guess its a rather heavy load then, possibly overwidth?
Don't think we would ever have much luck trying to get it on our roads

Thanks for the photos. So is Orbitor going? And yes, Pell presents her rides really well. I don't think Showest are getting a ride to replace Crazy Dance. You should see Flashdance arrive probably next week

Setting up is going good. Although none of the eastern staters rides have arrived as yet.

Rides that are in position and setup/or being setup are:
Nitro
5x dodgems
Orbitor
Crazy Dance
Wave Swinger
Ranger
Rage
2x Ghost Trains - L&L Haunted Hotel is not here yet
Superbowl
Supernova
Sizzler
Gravitron
Python Loop

Not sure where the others may be - maybe someone could shed some light. Melbourne or Adelaide Show?

Still to come: MegaDrop, Haunted Hotel, Flashdance, Energy Storm, Twin Flip, Skywalker, Wave Swinger, Chaos, Claw, hmm think thats it for now.

Hey hurricane,

are they bringing the hurricane over as well??? They usually bring over that and their wave swinger on the middle street - im just wondering if they applyed for the land that was handed in and maybe got it for the skywalker???

the other option is that they replaced the hurricane ride? i doubt they would replace the wave swinger?

[- hopefully something to liven up that middle street because its a bit of a dead loss.[/quote]

Why would anyone go into a street that was a dead loss. :?
