Not a bad line-up, looking forward to photos. Airmaxx 360 is Clint Watkin's brand new Safeco Hang-Jump (or a Techno Jump with spinning seats on the end of the arms) http://www.safeco-rides.com/ingles/prod ... ltos08.htm

Pretty sure this is the first show for the ride aswell

yes i would have to be as they have no proper signage for it yet

[Hurricane]

Ah, I knew someone was looking at getting BN Smashing Jump... interesting to see that that rumor ended up becoming true, well... at least a similar ride. IMO the Smashing Jump appears to be a bit more intense than the Safeco variant, but still looks very good.

Space roller is looking very nice, glad the multi coloured panels at the end of the arms are gone too. I will say from watching the video of Airmaxx 360 I think I prefer the Techno Jump styles... It doesn't appear that the gondola's spin very much to add to the overall experience. The new LED's on Break Dance however look exceptional, along with the lights on Airmaxx

[Steve07]

I know right... break dance has great lighting I must say this year, and about airmaxx 360 if I recorded more you would of seen it jumped higher and more slower, very similar to techno jump I reckon, just that the seats turn around. I would prefer to ride techno jump.

and space roller had a few troubles over the 3 days of the show, sometimes you see no lights work and other times the safety harness on the seats weren't opening at the end of rides, they had to take the centre section of the lights in between the arms to fix it...?

[Hurricane]

That would be likely where the harness unlocking computers are located if i'm not mistaken, so taking off the lighting cover would provide easier access to it.

the reason some of the lights wern't working early on was because they had them unplugged. and with the harnesses not releasing i think it was a control valve issue as they were bleeding the system when i saw it happen
