Hey, do you think that lunapark will ever have space roller for in the holidays? I think it would be great for in the school holidays. I would definately go and ride it all day :) Its a great ride and i hope to see it there some time soon. What do you think?

Yeah SR would go well at Luna Park but I don't think we'll see it there in the near future. Golden Way and Joylands are the main ride suppliers with occasional contributions from Johnson's and Osbourne's.

Watkins are too busy doing what most showmen should be doing...

and that is TRAVELLING their ride. Space Roller does everywhere, AND for such a massive european ride to be travelling to even the small 1 or 2 days show is what true showmanship is about!

wish some other owners would do the same, even for their 1 trailer rides.

I think rainbow would go great at lunapark. It would look good behind coney island because youll just see this rainbow bop above the building. I hope it does eventually get there along with SPACE ROLLER. :D :D

Yeah rainbow would be good at LPS with a great view from the top but I doubt it'll ever go there too. The local residents would probably object due to the noise I'd say.

exactly ben, I find that Rainbow is a bit louder than Ranger, probably due to the mechanics inside the arm pushing the motors a bit more. Hope it never gets taken to that place! its a show ride, not a park ride that LPS could potentially ruin.

Agreed Huss. Ranger had a lot of work done on it to reduce the noise as did the Breakdance, AKA Spider. For some reason this has slowed the rides considerably.
