Well I woke up this morning and checked my email to find this http://www.amusementz.com.au/classified.asp?ID=131
It only changed hands not that long ago.
This is one of my alltime favorite rides, I love that the Matterhorn, Sizzler and Enterprise had a threesome and this was the result. Well Im off to buy a lotto ticket so maybe I can add it to my business lol.
Hopefully it will make a return to QLD as this is one kick ass ride :)

Very interesting, I didn't think that it would be up for sale this quick. I thought that they were making not bad money from it?

I too was shocked, lets hope someone buys it in Aus, and we see it around the place...
No one else buy a lotto ticket so funderstruck wins the jackpot, and buys the ride!! :)

Yeh its a good ride, good capacity and not too bad to setup/pull down. Yeh I do hope someone here buys it and hopefully see it in NSW again

Ok well I know how much he is asking now. It is alot of ride for the money and I know of alot worse rides that have sold for more. The downside is the 3.5hr set up and the 2.5hr pulldown which doesn't really suit my business of 1 day events but my life would be complete with this in the shed lol. Lotto ticket is brought common 5mill :)

Sounds good, do you work in conjunction with Jubilee Entertainment, as they have the Bat Tower on their website too.

Yes Jubilee Entertainment are my good friends and we work in conjunction regularly. Before I started my business again this time I was operating their rides.

I did ask just out of curiousity and I know I cant afford it hence further up on this post where I said I was gonna buy a lotto ticket which I might add was a loser :(
Nathan I think it could be in your price range though. I'd have to come run it with you though as it is my favorite ride :)
