Ranger question
Does our Huss Ranger travel to places other than Luna Park?
I haven't seen it at any travelling fair, have you?

Re: Ranger question
there only one ranger in australia which are at luna park sydney full time was ex transport by wittingslow which i worked on it.
Re: Ranger question
Yes that's right. This Ranger operated at World Expo 88 before traveling for a short time with Wittingslow Amusements. It has been completely overhalled twice since arriving at Luna Park in late 1994.

Re: Ranger question
Wittingslow used to do all the capitals... (minus perth) and my fondest memory of the ride was seeing it operating back to back with the Rainbow at Rye when I was about 4 or 5.... i'd give anything to go back to those rye carnival days

Re: Ranger question
Yeah I remember when the HUSS Ranger was at Luna park Melbourne (1992-1993) was great. I paid for an unlimited ride handstamp, and hardly left the ride my whole day.

these days are the best at luna park melbourne which comes with wittingslow's galaxy rollercoaster, octopus and zipper
Re: Ranger question
did luna park decrease in size? or they got more fixed rides now? cos you would struggle to fit them in now if you tried

Re: Ranger question
I would like to see the Ranger racked and at other locations.
It comes on 2 trailers, one for the main structure & another for the gondola.

Re: Ranger question
is luna parks kamakazee and flash dance rides park models? or on a trailers?
Re: Ranger question
No idea about the pathetic excuse for a Kamikaze, seriously that thing is a piece of crap and HURTS like hell!!!
As far as the Explorer goes (Not actually made by Reverchon but Dan-Fab) I am fairly sure it is trailer mountable
