Royal Melbourne Show '12
the countdown until the 2012 Melbourne show has started only 84 days to go.
I can't wait to be honest, looking forward to getting back on the techno jump after 1 long year. It definitely is my favourite ride.
the rides list is set to be up on the website in August, anyone think we might see some new rides this year?

Re: Royal Melbourne Show 2012
I can't wait to ride XXXL again! Also I miss Rock & Roll and Extreme! And this year I HAVE TO DO FREESTYLE AND/OR NO LIMIT!!! Start saving my money and then I will have a field day yay! Hopefully I will get to meet some of you guys. And I don't think we will get any new rides and to be bluntly honest I don't really care if it's the same ride line-up as last year because it was awesome!

I think it will most likely go to Melbourne, but I can't be too sure.

Re: Royal Melbourne Show 2012
It'd be awesome to see Rainbow vs Ali Baba! Not like that would happen because reality sucks

OMG the Taipan is returning! It's been waaay too long ever since I last rode it. I know it's just a Galaxi Coaster but it looks awesome! I wish it could come back to Rye where it belongs

Re: Royal Melbourne Show 2012
XXXL Did fairly well attracting the crowds at the 2010 Perth Royal Show, however last year Bell's Thunderbolt sure pulled more crowds from the Rage...fingers cross it comes over...HUSSRAINBOW wrote:I'm pretty sure it did better it Melbourne than previously in Perth

Re: Royal Melbourne Show 2012
I've just had a look at the opening and closing hours and it says all the carnival areas close at 7:30pm .. that's quite odd as the show closes at 9:30pm.

Re: Royal Melbourne Show 2012
It does seem odd. But I can understand why. I guess they are just trying to get more people into the Coca-Cola Arena and closing the Carnivals at 7.30pm is an incentive to either sit around watching some crappy 'entertainment' or to go home!Rachel0298 wrote:I've just had a look at the opening and closing hours and it says all the carnival areas close at 7:30pm .. that's quite odd as the show closes at 9:30pm.

Re: Royal Melbourne Show 2012
Have you guys ever made a kid cry at the show before?

Re: Royal Melbourne Show 2012
I can't imagine the showies would be happy with this arrangement. There's nothing I like more than checking out the carnival at night after the fireworks or even while they're on. I think this is a bad thing for Melbourne Show.
Re: Royal Melbourne Show 2012
...you and most people. That is often when sideshow alley gets its busiest...from about 8pm - 10pm when the ekka closes the area, most of the rides are full loading or at least half loading...I can see the showmen losing out lots of money from this arrangement. I would almost want to set up another carnival to compete sort of like what they have done in Brisbane...and they are always successful...benclare wrote:I can't imagine the showies would be happy with this arrangement.

I'm hoping the times are just mixed up, I love having a good ride after 8pm.

Re: Royal Melbourne Show 2012
I know this is HIGHLY UNLIKELY! But I'd really love to see a HUSS Rainbow, Chance Zipper or Turbo back at the RMS! Does anyone know what's going on with the 2 Rainbows or Turbos?
