I'm so jealous!

I would so love to ride the Force Ten again.

And to think I was going to go, but work gave me 2 weekend shifts, even when I told them not to

I am so jealous right now, I want to ride the Force 10 and Cyber Party again... I'm just not commenting on Space Ball for reasons that will NOT be disclosed...

This makes two of us Ben, are you referring to that ride which is like a single seat that swivels on different axis?

That would be the Space Ball Dave, AKA... Daniel's worst nightmare...

SPACE BALL:

Space Ball is owned and operated by none other than Aussie Ride Broker from the forums. The ride is a high speed, nauseating experience, and should only be ridden by people who can handle the G Forces (up to 3 g's)

It's a truly nauseating experience that had similar results to my first Zipper Ride... nuff said.

Thanks for showing what my Space ball ride looks like guys, and I can still remember how you felt after coming off your first ride on it Hurricane. Yes folks for a small ride she pulls whilst in operation in the cage as we say 3.5g's and can get up to speeds of around 180-200 kmph.

Puk (chunder) ratio on her at present is running at 45% of riders need to chunder after coming off a spin on her. Not bad, from the days when I had a 75% puk ratio on the Zipper back at Luna Park.

If you are game... come up to Coffs Harbour this Christmas Holidays and I'll give you a ride you'll never forget on her. Most show workers leave the ride almost falling head over heels. But there have been a few who collapse before they leave the ride.

You should bring this impressive ride to the RES! I just might head up to Coffs to give it a go although I don't fancy becoming a chunder statistic.

Hey Benclare just come up and see Spacey or me and we'll give you the ride of your life, you should ask Hurricane what's it like as to ride. In regards to RES we are looking at this for next year if we can get the space to put her up down there, we'd love to come there if we are lucky to get ground.

That would b great to get a spot at RES. I'd have to c if i was game enough though

Thanks Aussie! I can't wait to ride Space Ball. I can't say I've tried anything like it before but I may've seen it under another name in America.

Top Gunner14 · Post by **Top Gunner14** » Sun Oct 07, 2007 7:14 am

I'll have to b game enough to ride it. If i do ride it, take it off slow and then gradually get faster Lol
