Nice family carnival and looks impressive exspecting to get great crowds

oh what a great carnival.... his biggest earner is just sitting in his yard, probably rusting! oh nice!

Actually its not ....its getting ready...... Exspect some great rides in 2010
Ocs has a impressive line up!!Very exciting!!

Yes I've heard of a new kids/family ride that they are getting. So Rainbow could be back for 2010 now??

some photos of coolangattas.
sorry there only off my phone.

Thanks for the photos. Didn't think Insanity was going anywhere over Xmas. Didn't hear of anything while I was at the V8's. Looks like a good little carnival. Don't see why Woodall didn't take up either Chaos or the Claw either

thanks for those Dell! Yes interesting that Woodalls wheel is the only one of his rides there. Chaos seems to be retired now (with a for sale sign on it)

ohhh Rainbow at 2010RES would make me cry! here's hoping!

THanks for the pics dell. Seems Like it will be a good carnival even though it is small.

Here's a bit more Rye, from today, the 22nd

PIRATE is looking even more amazing in the blazing sunlight, it is just soo shiny and new looking! the frame that held the original letters was sitting on the platform, hopefully theyve got something to put on it, or I could dream and hope that they bought the letters off Seaworld's ex Pirate as it is not on at Funfields.
BREAKDANCE's sign was down, as they were re-globing most of it.
MEGA DROP is missing the ball decoration at the top of the ride.
Verfurth's Wheel is not there, as you can see, and MIXER was nowhere to be found.
CRAZY DANCER wins the award for worst position at the carnival, it took over the spot of SCORPION, and has been just put on a ridiculous slope... looks stupid.
Overall, a fairly average carnival, id even prefer if an Ali Baba was there...

I'm liking the look of the Hurricane's cars - the blue colour scheme, stripes and flourish all work really well with the rainbow tribal on the sides.

Vee, not quite sure how to interpret that remark. lol Do you like the blue on the checkplate too? I'm glad to see Hurricane there. You guys on the West Coast really need one. It could be very popular.

Thanks again Huss, yeh Pirate is looking good, glad to see Witt's have given it a bit of new life, has the boat been re-painted too? Yeh Polyp looks in a pretty bad position there.

Strange that the Mixer hasn't turned up either

I meant it in earnest and I didn't even notice the over spray - ha!

Great pics Huss, nice job

Nah, the boat is still the same, though it is in pretty good condition anyway.... just needs some sails on the mast and it would be sweet.

Anyone been to any of the carnivals around the place.
The weather's been pretty crap in NSW over xmas, up until a couple of days ago.
If anyones been out let us know what going on..

yeah i been to a few. My parents own a few motels around Qld an Nsw, so have been traveling around while got the time off work seeing everyone and checking them. I have a heap of pic's. do you want them uploaded?
