illusions · Post by **illusions** » Thu Sep 11, 2008 8:23 am

hey guys well the crew and i will be following a particular family for the next couple of months who own Quite a few thrill rides. I believe i will be getting my hands dirty by putting up the rides, and pulling down the rides. also there will be a few one on one interviews with a few SGA members talking about the history of The Showman's guild and where they think its heading too....

Where will we be able to see the doco when it's complete, I think it should be following a whole run with a whole heap of operators

lol doco bout O'Neills? hahaha.... just all about Rainbow... lol I wish..

Top Gunner14 · Post by **Top Gunner14** » Sat Sep 13, 2008 6:33 am

Well Huss, I think if there was a doco about O'Neill's Rainbow, they'd show the Xmas carnival, CHinese New Year and RES where Rainbow goes all year. But they could just tape the ride sitting in the paddock for the rest of the year, that would be interesting Lol

"And here we are stalking the Legendary Rainbow... Only seen once or twice a year... it truly is an amazing sight to see. It's so graceful and dominating words just can't describe this feeling of bliss to see it moving and in action"

Top Gunner14 · Post by **Top Gunner14** » Sat Sep 13, 2008 7:33 am

Lol, yes catch it when you can, if you can, or just take a visit to Edmondson Park and witness the beast sleeping among the defunct park of Adventureland Lol

Can you tell us which family????

How can we order a copy of the DVD??

hich christmas carnivals will you be visiting?? Some of us visit them too and we might be there at the same time.

Top Gunner14 · Post by **Top Gunner14** » Wed Sep 24, 2008 3:03 pm

Welcome itsfun, nice of you to join Lol, we'll be able to get it early next year. I'm guessing the family is Bells

Hurricane · Post by **Hurricane** » Wed Sep 24, 2008 3:44 pm

Well, considering the Bell family has alot of history dating right back to Roy Bell and his boxing tent it really would make a interesting doco. I can't wait to find out more info on this documentary Illusions.

Top Gunner14 · Post by **Top Gunner14** » Wed Sep 24, 2008 6:07 pm

Yeh, true, I'd like some more info too

benclare · Post by **benclare** » Fri Sep 26, 2008 4:51 pm

The Bell family attract quite a lot of press whilst travelling, especially in small country towns. The ABC have done several stories on them, the latest being No Limit's first visit to the Darwin Show which appeared on the Northern Territory's version of State Line. I maybe wrong but there may have also been an Australian Story done on the Bells.

Can't wait to watch the documentary and will be getting a copy for sure when it comes out next year.

HUSSRAINBOW · Post by **HUSSRAINBOW** » Fri Sep 26, 2008 8:37 pm

Haha, I think Rainbow only did 2 Shows this year... I heard it didn't do Wollongong...

illusions · Post by **illusions** » Fri Sep 26, 2008 9:59 pm

hey guys will give some details out in the next week i was filming in the ACT this week for there annual flower festival Floriade. and then tomorrow night i will be shooting at the Monster truck tour of destruction 08 which will be good night.

As for the Bell family they have such an amazing story and hopefully i will get to chat with them soon!!!!

Thanks Illusions, looking forward to seeing what info you can give us. Lol, that doesn't suprise me that it didn't do the gong, but when I rung up to see if it was going, they said it was??? Ben, how long ago was the Australian story done. Do you think I could ring the ABC and get a copy? Thanks
