A new Zamperla Rockin Tug has just landed in New Zealand, its been a couple of years since a new ride appeared here. Should be a good family ride, I will post some pics when I get to see it.

Aaron's Force 10 is currently on the road in Victoria doing shows. Saw it operating at Swan Hill & Sheparton just recently. It is currently on the market and will be listed on the Website in the next few days.

I have just heard about the consortium that has bought the new Ferris Wheel, that has been discussed, I have also heard that Melbourne Show has asked for expressions of interest for their ferris wheel position, maybe the skymaster will no longer be in Melbourne.

I just noticed on themepark.nl that Hoefnagels 'SpaceRoller' (Mondial TopScan) should also be moving to Australia?

Phillip Island never looked so exciting.

I think I'll have to plan a fishing / surfing trip, and throw in a ride or two while I'm there.

Don't forget to bring your pukebag and remember that the outer seat is the place to be :) (and don't forget to lace your shoes) I'm always K.O. for a few hours after riding something like this.
