It is ashame now with things changing, coming and going with some different things. It is shocking that Moomba has less rides and is better than Melbourne. Where's the carnival area this year, is it in the same spot as last year?

I agree with everything said as far as Moomba goes. It had a pretty bad run for a couple years but now seems to be better than RMS. It sucks the RMS is they way it is now. Thank goodness for the regional shows too...which actually don't mind getting some old classic rides back.

Yep, I love seeing the classic rides aswell as the newer rides at shows too.

I can see this being the new horror movie of the year!

"Huss tames the Furiozo!"

Eh... it's gotta be better than the movie... "The Strangers" that just sucked!

The Strangers wasn't bad.... It was rather well done in regards to capturing the feel....

anyways moving on....

Hurricane · Post by **Hurricane** » Tue Sep 09, 2008 8:25 pm

The movie itself wasn't that bad... I just didn't really see much of a storyline... Apart from the crashing and bashing of the house. And that "Because you were home" Line!

One of the scenes made my mate jump that much... he actually landed in the next seat and spilt popcorn all over me!

HUSSRAINBOW · Post by **HUSSRAINBOW** » Tue Sep 09, 2008 10:29 pm

Yeah agree about it not having much of a story line... but I am a huge fan of horror..

Hurricane · Post by **Hurricane** » Wed Sep 10, 2008 12:08 am

I'm also a fan of any horror movie that doesn't have spiders in it

It is a Heritage Listed icon... its a large pie... i think a gillies pie... and it sits on these massive supports....

Hurricane · Post by **Hurricane** » Sun Sep 14, 2008 3:49 am

Ah, I think I may have seen it in a photo recently... And I now feel like pie lol!

Top Gunner14 · Post by **Top Gunner14** » Sun Sep 14, 2008 6:50 am

i'm going down tomorrow, hopefully most equipment will be there, I imagine that they are all arriving today....
Photo's will be on their way.

Also, the old carnival area has been sold off, and they will be commencing building on Apartments very soon.... stupid showgrounds for selling that area off, it really pisses me off, we get stuck with a junk area of a carnival, and to think Melbourne and Sydney were pretty much the two shows you HAD to have your ride at
