2008 Royal Easter Show
2008 Royal Easter Show
Just thought I'd give you a bit of info about the upcoming Show which begins on Thursday, 20 March as Easter is early this year.
The main carnival will feature March's Skywalker as its new attraction and the Power Surge, Taipan, Speed, No Limit, Space Roller, Zipper etc will be back and I'm fairly sure the Rainbow will be as well as O'Neil's have got three rides going. My guess is Waveswinger for the Kids Carnival, Ranger and Rainbow...
An interesting new thing they've got this year is the Extreme Riders Club which apparently offers some great discounts for people like us who love the carnival. I don't know much about this yet as it isn't launched until later this month but will keep you posted either via the website or if I hear something before the launch. Sounds great doesn't it?
One more thing. The Xtreme Tuesday offer has been scrapped as far as I know but you can get unlimited rides for $30.00 on the opening day between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM, limited to the first 6000 entries.
All this info should be on the website if it isn't already.
About a month and a half to go; I'm already getting excited!

Yeah im a little bit over the whole tennis match about turbo, will we see it, will we not, its been going on for over two years now. If we see it, we bloody see it, if not... well hey, not much we can do.
and sorry, but I rode the HURRICANE at St. Kilda Festival.... i'm glad it doesnt show up much these days, its a shocking ride. It may be considered an american classic, but I don't see anything or feel anything special about it.

Princess. Hurricane is one of the best classic rides to have ever existed IMO.
It's very thrilling for young kids, and even for some adults and a lot of teenagers too. Now, I think that just about covers a large segment of riders right there. I can understand why it may not appeal to everyone though. It's just down to personal preference.
On the issue of Bell's Turbo, I am a bit over it all too. It just seems to be the same story over an over again. I just hope the next time we hear anything about it, it will have been seen sighted traveling along the roads somewhere heading to one of the shows. My fingers are still crossed.

I've actually read reviews on the Darton "DownDraft" and apparently they are no where near as good as the normal Hurricanes. But you all know where I stand with my Hurricanes...
And in regards to the Turbo. I'm also over hearing about it, I mean if it runs it runs if not... well yeah. As much as I'd LOVE to ride it, I'm not getting my hopes up.
Also I have been lurking, just not able to be posting latley due to a forum glitch which seems to be fixed now! And I'm LOVING the paintjob on Elwin's Music Trip!
