Grand Prix

Post by Noxegon »

G'day all...

I've been reading on the web site for the Formula 1 in a few weeks that there will be an amusements section. Anyone know what might be there?

I'm also interested in any other funfairs that may be on anywhere in Australia during the period March 10th-20th (beside the Sydney Royal Easter Show).

Many thanks.

There is Moomba which is in Melbourne. It finishes on March 10, so you may want to check it out if you can. Usually a big carnival with an 'extreme ride zone' (well that's what the website says haha) and a kids carnival as well. It gets some good carnival rides.

I don't know what will be at the Grand Prix. I think Insanity was there last year? Apart from these, that is all I know of in VIC.

Thanks for this. I'll be spending a few days in Perth, Brisbane, Melbourne, and Sydney over that period so I'm not really restricted to VIC if anyone knows of anything else that's on :)

Nothing hugely exciting this year, but anyway...

A bit dissappointing, but not surprising either. (I don't think there would've been the crowds to make Spaceroller worthwhile)

Good to see TPA's dodgem floor being used more than its once-a-year Melbourne Show job.
