How often does the Breakdance get out and work each year?

Cheers

Not too often, I'd say about 3 apperances a year, max.

Not much chance of that, I did not enjoy Lauries Breakdance at EKKA last year. Too long and too fast for little old me

Have a great time if you go out there this weekend guys!

I totally agree with you about the Pirate Huss. I love it and would definitely ride it if it came to Sydney again.

As for the Breakdance, that unit was making strange noises last time it was at the RES which was several years ago now. I remember I attended the Show several times that year and the noise got worse every time and you could hear it from a way off. Perhaps it requires some maintenance?

That breakdance could be an amazing looking unit, it would obviously need a complete overhaul:

new paint job
new backdrop artwork
new artwork on cars
lightboxes with BREAK DANCE signs
bring the original HUSS disco balls back...

I love the shape of the ride, since it still having HUSS platforms, i much prefer its overall structure to lauries square platforms
