I think it's Bob Lawrences. It's NOT March's, Show West's or O'neils unit.

Great reviews, would any one have any more photos or know the owner of the Dodgem track seen in the distance of one of the photo's over looking the midway. It looks like a Majestic track.

Cheers
Kiwi

Adelaide is like its own little world, with an unknown waveswinger and various other rides (i never thought there was a majestic track in australia)

As HUSSR reported, all rides seemed to be pretty busy during the day on the weekend (I was only there saturday). The ride seemed to be doing fairly steady business. I didn't see adults riding, but I presume it can fit both kids and adults. It wasn't till I saw this photo that I noticed it's an SBF - we seem to be getting a lot of their rides. Bob Lawrence's Traffic Jam seemed to be popular.

Skyflyer seemed like a roaring success, quick to load with a decent cycle (up to the top, half way down, back up and down again)

Hey everybody,
just here to give ya's a laugh.

Kermit the Frogg (Kermit the Karney) is the Space Rollers resident (Number 1) Rider.
But Kermit decided to have some time off from the Space Roller and try out some other Rides.
So here's some Photo's from Kermits adventures here at the Adelaide Show.

Here he is on his Space Roller.
Image

He even played a Game!
Image

After his ride on the Power Surge, see the excitement!
Image

On the Ali Baba
Image

He even went on the Extreme Speed
Image

Hard Rock
Image

And the Mega Drop!
Image

Kermit had a ball of a time.. he didnt even stop grinning..
Kermit thanks all parties involved in his day of fun, and also thanks them for his free rides and assistance.


Haha hope u enjoyed these photo's.
It sure made for some entertainment for all involved.

Due to concern from the public, Miss Piggy was refused entry due to the fact she may be carrying the Swine Flu Bug!

NOW WE DONT WANT THAT!!

LOL

Just a quick question were there any $5.00 re-rides for Space Roller?

Does anyone have a full day shot of the ex-Marshall's Ali Baba? From some of the photos I can see of it it's looking great with the new lights and paintwork
