Australian Amusement Fanatics

The Sale show is on next weekend 28th-29th/11

Driving past I see Bell's arrived this afternoon with Hurricane, Music Trip, Cha Cha and Crazy Raft.

I haven't been to the Sale show in a few years but last year's line up looked great so can't wait.
I hope to see Sky Walker!

No Sky Walker this year, it's doing the WA run....

Very sensible, WA is where all the money is.

haha, the east must be suffering badly to say that.

WA is what is causing the double economy, the east is just slowly ticking over, the west is going bananas, so we are told, but you would know better than me.

For individuals, you only see that wealth if you're directly connected to the resources industry

TPA's Extreme is here.Even so...it's a very lean year.Apart from the Bells gear that we had last year,there's only Tilt...no Mega Drop,and surprisingly no Cliff Hanger.I dont miss either of them,but it would've been good to see some worthy replacements.

Albury is also on this weekend so I'm guessing quite a lot of gear headed there. Can't wait for your Extreme review if you ride it.

yeah I hear chants have their gear over in albury along with no limit and space roller

Mightily impressed with Extreme.As long as it doesnt start pissing down am going back for more in an hour or so.

Yes Matt definately a great ride. How was the rest of the show?

Well not long after I made that last post it did start raining.Seemed to ease a little after a while so went down again after the fireworks..only for the skies to open once again on the way,this time it absolutely poured and arrived at the grounds to a mass exodus.Expected the rides to close,but there was still a pretty healthy crowd of saturated riders.Once it cleared went in for more Extreme.The backdrop was only partially erected...but the best section of the art was there,and any time I dont have to see a certain annoying attention seeking moron is a positive!!.Watching the vids some members have posted,wasnt expecting to be as impressed as I was...it didnt seem to operate as fast as some of the models in the UK and Europe.But even the first part of the cycle is pretty intense and then you really feel the G s once the arms level out and it picks up speed.Hope to see it at Traralgon in a few weeks.Also had a great ride on Hurricane earlier on in the afternoon...just cant resist jumping on.

Heres a few Extreme vids:

attention seeking moron?

Clearly he is not talking about you Huss. .

I am not a fan of the American voice over (please tell me it was a voice over), ride looks amazing, I will look forward to seeing it in action.

Good to hear you enjoyed it Matt. I find it to be a great ride. Just don't sit on the inside seat, very uncomfortable downstairs if you ask me.
And cheers for the videos and we've discussed this before but I hate how some operators just play the dutch voice-over over and over again instead of spruiking. Would've thought within those 2 videos some spruiking would've been done especially at night when it's busy

No I know who he is talking about.... he only wishes he could be featured on a rides backwall!

No,I dont...I'd rather see good quality fantasy art.Not redundant pop stars who already get more than enough exposure.

the backdrop for the ride is odd.... Whos idea was it to feature some random illustration from a band that made no impact whatsoever..... Beyonce also looks weird, and well Pink....enough said
