Old Wonderland Explorer

[Top Gunner14]

Does any one have any info or news about the tasmanian devil that use 2 b at Wonderland Sydney. I remember reading a South Australian showmen bought it and it was in refurbishment. I haven't heard anythin since.

Yes I've heard the same story but am yet to see it travelling. Hopefully the ride will be able to go backwards like Chant's awesome Flashdance. The Tasmanian Devil never did that at Wonderland for some reason.

I don't think that model Explorer was even geared to go backwards, and it wasn't that fast either, But I would like to see it travel, as it was my 1st major flat ride I went on.

Top Gunner, Sorry to bother you but if you don't mind would you not be able to use chat shorthand quiet as much such as "c u lata" etc. It just makes it alot easier to read, I'm sorry if I sound evil, it's just one of those things.

I also do think it will be good to see the good ol Tassie Devil Re-surface, I wonder what it's going to be named etc.

[Top Gunner14]

Sorry hurricane. It's a bit faster 4 me to type!

[Hurricane]

Hey, don't worry about it too much, it's just one of those little things, As long as we can understand it's all good, but just not as easy

Hurricane, should I be the one complaining, lol I am the oldest (I think), it takes me a little bit more time, but i do get it, dosn't mean I like it, I personally like the english language the way it was intended, besides it helps with your spelling if you use the correct words, I will now end the lesson.

[little bit]

on the topic of bad typing as u will all see i dont punctuate i am terrible at it sorry but yeah will try.

[princess]

Lol little bit, my kids tell me I am old fashion commas and fullstops apparently do not exist anymore.

Sorry this is way off topic

[Top Gunner14]

Don't worry, but does anyone have any news on it? Its faster 4 me 2 type like that

[Zamperla]

There are no strict rules for punctuation and spelling on the forum - as long as you get your point across, and respect the views and opinions of other contributors to the forum.

TopGunner last I heard the ride was in South Australia, undergoing some final touches before it debuts to the general public fair-goers.

[Top Gunner14]

Thanx 4 that Dave. Good 2 hear it's nearly on the road

I luv the new style lingo. Makes it sound fun. I heard there are more rides coming out to Australia. Any more news.

[Top Gunner14]

Look in public forum, hush hush

Could be quite a while and many dollars before anyone gets to ride this ride again

Geez over 6 years you'd think more work would've been done. But kinda of the same as Bell's Turbo, pretty lengthy refurb. Ahh so Tony Smans owns it, not John Stratton. Speaking of Smans what gear does he actually operate and run throughout S.A? Anyone know?
