Thanks for giving me my first sneak peek of this ride. It's looking good. It doesn't seem to lift very high, but this is the norm for that design I suppose.
The lights look pretty new. I wonder how much work has been done to it since being in Aus?

Looks like a fun ride. If I see it around I will be sure to jump on. I like these festivals more than the major shows, they have some good rides you don't see appear anywhere else.

Thanks for the video Huss. Yeh looks like a fun little ride, racks all on one trailer too which is convinient unlike those big Schwarzkoft machines over in Europe. Did you get any photos from the event?

Yeah got some photos as they were closing... It's a fun ride, not sickening or thrilling though... good for a filler ride..

Millers should take it down to Rye, I think it would the perfect spot for it.

haha... love that last comment. I am looking forward to riding this one, I need to get out to some more festivals.

Looks like a mix between an Octopus and a Ski Jump imo.

Yeh definately Aussie, it's been here for a while now.
Re: 2009 EID Festival Broadmeadows
Looks like a rather good ride, IMO it needs a bit more flash like the European models. But i'm sure as the Miller's make more money they will add more to it. So i'm just glad to see it on the road.

Thanks for those pics Huss! Good to see that ex-Pinks Hurricane is doing some festivals. That Ali Baba doesn't look bad, for a Ali Baba. Never seen Twister before whose is it?
Re: 2009 EID Festival Broadmeadows
Love the paint job on the Hurricane.

Yeh I think that's Tony Smans Ali Baba. It's currently for sale but I'm not sure if it's been sold yet. Geez Pirate is looking pretty bad, really needs a bit of work done.
SRF, that's Brown's Twister. They also own the ex-Pink's Hurricane.
