Australian Amusement Fanatics

Hi everyone, came across this information today

New Rides
National Pharmacies Kids Carnival
Surfs Up
Magic Circus

Carnival Area
XXXL
Sky Flyer

Unfortunately I won't be able to attend this year though Hopefully the new rides do well.

That's a bit of a shame, how come you won't be there? Surf's Up will be there then, will be interesting to see it

So Star Flyer and XXXL are confirmed for Adelaide which ends SEP 12, then Melbourne starts up on the 17th....I don't think these will make it over to VIC in time now will they? I wish these two shows were spaced out more since Melbourne is really getting boring each year, we still haven't seen Sky Walker anytime in Melbourne and thats been traveling for a while now.

edit...what is Surf's Up?

Alot of the bigger rides travel from Adelaide straight to Melbourne such as Thunderbolt, Space Roller etc. We've mentioned this before I'm sure. And the XXXL and Sky Flier don't take long to setup/pull down. XXXL can go up and down in about 3 hours and Sky Flier can be pulled down/setup in about 4-5 hours so won't stop them from going to Melbourne.

Yeh Skywalker goes straight over to Perth, its odd how it doesn't do Adelaide.

I hear that perth is getting a tall ride this year heard it was low capacity so either a booster type ride or quite possible the sky flyer

Yeh could be possible, TPA have taken gear over before so it could happen

When these rides do the North run, they have shows very close together,the difference is that they might not have to drive as far,still very constant so as for Adelaide to Melbourne, pull down all night, drive in one hit, set up, until the jobs done, no sleep, just work.

Yeh, they'll just simply pull down closing night and be out as the sun's rising the next morning

what is surfs up?

also Chants might take there new ride across to perth?????

Yeh that's what I was thinking, Chants may take the Freestyle to Perth.

The Surf's Up I'm pretty sure is Pavier's new Miami Trip ride

Unfortunately I will be in Austria at the time of the Show this year. First show I will have missed in ages.

Austria sounds great too, would love to do that, off to see the Von Trapps, Adelaide show will be on again next year.

I know which I would prefer (which parts? there are a few parks over there including an interesting wheel in Vienna if I'm not mistaken)

I would also like to know what Surf's Up is. I didn't think Paviers were still getting that KMG Miami?

initially Innsbruck for a conference and then hoping (depending how much cash I can save) to go to a few other places around Europe.

Hopefully you'll have a good time in Austria.

Naa Surf's Up isn't KMG

So what are Rock n Roll Matterhorn and Fungee Bungee?

wait just read the ekka thread and saw what Rock N Roll is. Hopefully its a little gentler than Musik Express - still remember being compltely crushed on it.

The Rock N Roll is a Matterhorn, not a Musik Express. Strange that both Rock N Roll and Thunderbolt will be there

Hopefully we will get a review, by the two people who I know will be there this weekend?????

Yeh hopefully should be a good show. And would be nice to see a few photos.

Sorry, left this out a while ago, Pavier's Surf's Up is a SBF Visa Miami. It's not really big, more a kiddies thing

Hello Everyone!
Was at the show Ysterday!!! And WOW WHAT A SHOW!!!! SO packed, Have a stack of photos and have uploaded a video to youtube of the XXXL.
XXXL was charging $15. Only did it once for that price. GOOD Ride, very short Ride, No Flipping. bit let down, Was very clean, Looked sh** HOT! Liked its apperance after i saw it. the seats still smelt new. was not worth anymore then $10 tho. and Went for just under 2 mins.
You tube is still uploading. I'll post the link once done.
Ahh how can you make your photos smaller anyone know. It wont let me upload a photo over 256 KiB???

Top video

The ride looks like a lot more impressive not tucked up amongst other rides as at EKKA

Yeh good video thanks for that Dell. Yeh the ride does look bigger and a bit more eye-catching out in the open. Maybe when the operators get more used to operating the ride, hopefully they'll give longer cycles. Like they do on the other models overseas, give about 5 minute cycles on them

Good job Dell, if there is a crowd there, you will get a short ride cycle, they will be pushing as many people through as they can, the ride cycle will more than likely be longer if there is not many people around, ride early. imo
