From what my sources have said, It doesn't seem to be a Tropical Trip (Miami)

It is not anything like a Miami, or a Tropical Trip from what I have been told.

You sure are good at the suspense thing Hurricane.

I am just glad new rides are coming to Oz because it means the carnival industry is in good shape which is great news for us ride enthusiasts.

I know, I will say that if you were thinking a KMG ride is on the cards, You are correct there, but what sort is a different story... I personally hope they buy another Speed

no more bloody SPEED/NO LIMIT/INSANITY rides... seriously, does anyone not have any originality..... ugh! it's called research! none of this "oh that showman has one, so ill get a different model, to compete" its stupid and annoying
lol enough said.

is it something along the lines of a swing it, parajump or a discovery. I've got to be honest, we don't need any more miami's. It would be good to see a new one but personally i don't think we need another. Why couldn't they buy an XXL. That would be great.
Cheers

I was joking about the speed thing, However if Show West brought something like Speed or No Limit, that would be ok as they are on the west coast
I can't really reveal any more on what it is, other than it's a KMG ride, and it's not a Miami / Tropical Trip etc.

we need to see the classics back on the circuit!
Huss Pirate
Huss Enterprise
Huss Rainbow
Huss Breakdance
our midways have the lost the class! its all about cheap portability and tackiness! classics are what make a midway! not new unoriginal pieces
(even though space roller, hard rock, and no limit are absolute masterpieces in their own right ) (well maybe not hard rock, but its a good concept)

I agree with that, as a decent ratio for the carnivals / shows: For every 2 newer rides, have one classic ride such as Hurricane's, Roundup's, Rainbow's, Wave Swingers etc. I don't like a fair few of the newer rides (Speed, Techno Jump, Crazy Coaster) But there are a few of the newer rides that I think are amazing (Space Roller, Insanity, No Limit, Power Surge)
So a equal mix of new rides and classic rides would be great to see.

Not everyone will ride the extreme rides, so as far as I am concerned a couple of classics are a good thing.

is it one of there newer rides like a speed buzz?

I don't know exactly how old it is, but I am looking forward to it...

American midways are really good at combining new extreme thrill rides with old classics. It's quite common to see an old Super Loop, more commonly a Ring of Fire operating alongside a brand spanking new Kamikaze, Booster, Inverter etc. Come to think of it, the same usually happens here at the regional shows but not so much at the capital city ones. In the US, one carnival ride operator usually is responsible for the entire midway and provide most of their rides, old and new for major state and county fairs.

Its good to see the newer rides and some great classics. For instance hawkesbury, u'll get space roller, power surge or any of the new rides operating alongside an old roundup, rok n roll, tilt a wirl. Thats what's great bout my local show.

Just been told, paviers aren't getting their KMG ride. It was on trial overseas and wasn't 2 good. A bit of bad news there. Anyway it was a Swing it. Like the Zamp disko. And i know the name of March's tango (better not tell u's) and this model, is very rare. Its one of the first built. Anyway, i'll shut me mouth now
Cheers

i dontt hink the swing it would crack ti very well here, probably great for hire work, as for the tango, is it the equinox?
Posted: Mon Sep 24, 2007 4:07 pm
by Top Gunner14
Swing it doesn't look that good. I don't no what equinox is
Posted: Mon Sep 24, 2007 5:49 pm
by HUSSRAINBOW
equinox is ugly!

The Tango is not the Equinox from what I have been told. I havn't heard any updates on the Paviers KMG ride, so I can't confirm weather or not it is still coming. I will let you know as soon as I know more and am able to say.

Its definately not coming. I was told this from dean davis. It was on trial overseas and it wasn't the best ride

Top Gunner 14,
My contact has confirmed that the Paviers ride IS still coming. However the ride is indeed a new ride, not 2nd hand. If you have any further questions, please contact Aussie Ride Broker.
