Yeh be good to see a ride like this, I've never ridden or seen one of the original Orbitors so this'll be a first. At one stage I heard it could've been going into LPS over the holidays but I think that plan changed. Hopefully it may be at Hawkesbury

[Hurricane]

I'd kill to see it at RES or EKKA this year. Looks like this could be Picketts replacement for Twin Flip. I have never rode the Oribitor before, but seen it many years ago (Cyclone) and it looked like great fun!

[Matt Diabolism]

HELL YEAH!!!....BRING IT ON!.

Scream Scream It's Extreme, I hope the ride gets on Sydney aswel I think it would be a very good ride to add to there line up. I rode one at the Florida State Fair and it was awesome.

[mmk]

I rode one at Creamfields in the UK last year. Longest ride cycle I have ever been on... one of the best rides ever. Definitely a good move and quite a easy setup/pull down.

Do you know if its a 4 or 5 arm model?

[ozshowkid]

The ride is a 4 arm version, reason being the 6 arm doesn't comply with Australian road standards. The ride is Brand new, yes it will be at Hawksbury. We will have to wait and see about Sydney.


Cheers OZ

What exactly does this ride do? I would be very surprised if it doesn't make it onto RES, fingers crossed it does!

[princess]

I think I could do this one??? Anyone up for a ride with Nanna

Ben I would describe it as a breakdance looking ride, but airborne, spinning with carriages turning, but it does not go very high off the ground, spin is very fast.

[Hurricane]

It's just like the old Tivoli orbitor, just with seats similar to Durkin's Claw (2 across instead of 4). It's a total of 24 riders per cycle. It's a much faster version of the Orbitor.

[dell2006]

so the same as the energy storms action with different cars? the cars dont flip like the Twin flip?

[Hurricane]

Similar concept to the Energy Storm but the ride runs faster from what i've observed in videos. However when I rode Energy Storm last year that thing was FLYING compared to what I remembered. And Princess, i'll take you for a whirl on it at EKKA

[princess]

mmmm, Ekka always a possibility, just have to get out of my own way.

Sounds like fun! Princess I'd definitely be up for a ride with you on this if you like.

[princess]

Thanks Ben, I will observe, when are you going out, got any plans yet

[Matt Diabolism]

Anyone got any new info...has it arrived?.Eager to see this in action,if only through pics or vids till I see it in person.

[ozshowkid]

It has arrived first show in Australia will be Hawksbury, look out cause its Extreme.

[Matt Diabolism]

Cheers Oz.Top Gunner...will you be working/attending Hawkesbury this year?.

[HUSSRAINBOW]

I'm excited to see the artwork, as I hear GaGa is featured!!

[benclare]

I'll be green with envy hearing about this ride as it'll be ages before I can experience it for myself. What a boon for Hawkesbury having it as it's first outing and probably a disappointment for the RAS who would've loved to promote it on their attraction list.
