Re: Adelaide Show 2009
That's a bit of a shame, how come you won't be there? Surf's Up will be there then, will be interesting to see it

Re: Adelaide Show 2009
So Star Flyer and XXXL are confirmed for Adelaide which ends SEP 12, then Melbourne starts up on the 17th....I don't think these will make it over to VIC in time now will they? I wish these two shows were spaced out more since Melbourne is really getting boring each year, we still haven't seen Sky Walker anytime in Melbourne and thats been traveling for a while now.
edit...what is Surf's Up?

Re: Adelaide Show 2009
Alot of the bigger rides travel from Adelaide straight to Melbourne such as Thunderbolt, Space Roller etc. We've mentioned this before I'm sure. And the XXXL and Sky Flier don't take long to setup/pull down. XXXL can go up and down in about 3 hours and Sky Flier can be pulled down/setup in about 4-5 hours so won't stop them from going to Melbourne.
Yeh Skywalker goes straight over to Perth, its odd how it doesn't do Adelaide.

Re: Adelaide Show 2009
I hear that perth is getting a tall ride this year heard it was low capacity so either a booster type ride or quite possible the sky flyer

Re: Adelaide Show 2009
Yeh could be possible, TPA have taken gear over before so it could happen
Re: Adelaide Show 2009
When these rides do the North run, they have shows very close together,the difference is that they might not have to drive as far,still very constant so as for Adelaide to Melbourne, pull down all night, drive in one hit, set up, until the jobs done, no sleep, just work.

Re: Adelaide Show 2009
Yeh that's what I was thinking, Chants may take the Freestyle to Perth.
The Surf's Up I'm pretty sure is Pavier's new Miami Trip ride

Re: Adelaide Show 2009
I know which I would prefer (which parts? there are a few parks over there including an interesting wheel in Vienna if I'm not mistaken)
I would also like to know what Surf's Up is. I didn't think Paviers were still getting that KMG Miami?

Re: Adelaide Show 2009
The Rock N Roll is a Matterhorn, not a Musik Express. Strange that both Rock N Roll and Thunderbolt will be there
Re: Adelaide Show 2009
Hopefully we will get a review, by the two people who I know will be there this weekend?????

Re: Adelaide Show 2009
Yeh hopefully should be a good show. And would be nice to see a few photos.
Sorry, left this out a while ago, Pavier's Surf's Up is a SBF Visa Miami. It's not really big, more a kiddies thing

You tube is still uploading. I'll post the link once done.

The ride looks like a lot more impressive not tucked up amongst other rides as at EKKA

Re: Adelaide Show 2009
Yeh good video thanks for that Dell. Yeh the ride does look bigger and a bit more eye-catching out in the open. Maybe when the operators get more used to operating the ride, hopefully they'll give longer cycles. Like they do on the other models overseas, give about 5 minute cycles on them
Re: Adelaide Show 2009
Good job Dell, if there is a crowd there, you will get a short ride cycle, they will be pushing as many people through as they can, the ride cycle will more than likely be longer if there is not many people around, ride early. imo
