Will be very warm tomorrow as well, I think it'll be 30 out my way. Yeh, you rarely see a ride at a show these days at $5 a pop. Good price but it is a festival, not a show

Oh the Rok n Roll remember rideing one at dreamworld a long time ago
didn't enjoy it at all Just seemed so boring maybe because we were strapped in so tight it was so uncomfortable and we just wanted it to end and get off
The Hurri would nearly be my favorite old ride I also enjoy a ride on the cha cha
excellent pics Paulie

Even if it did, you wouldn't be able to ride it Lol. Good to see John is getting some work with the Midnight Madness. But yeh, not that good. Never know, you could get Top Gun one year

ha maybee! i was surprised to see shockwave there a few years ago anyway. never thought id see rides out of the eastershow.

Well considering the Shockwave is currently in and around Brisbane right now... I don't think it would be down in Sydney

What is Midnight Madness? Sorry if this question has already been answered on this forum.
Almost every major suburb around Sydney is hosting spring and-or street fairs and there will be rides going to most of them but obviously I don't know exactly what at this stage. I'm off overseas next month so I do hope to catch at least one of these events before I go; will hopefully catch a Hurricane or the Topgun around the place.

Midnight Maddness is a Ali Baba, in my opinion its the worst one i have seen. With lights and top sign missin someimes. I think it came from Ireland. John Phelen owns it, he also owns the ex Watkins Zipper.
CHEERS,
