A old employee found these and sent them in. Great find, including the first show for the Super Loop

Re: Early 80's Pictures
Great photos thanks for sharing. Love seeing the old rigs towing the trailers, was the Loop brand new or bought used?
Re: Early 80's Pictures
Most of those Commers are still parked in the sheds, thankfully none on the road at the moment. The Loop was brand new, I believe a number of parts where made in NZ and finished off here.
You can see the late Bill Mahon working the controls on the Loop, and I am told the man in the overalls is the Texan sent out to give set up / opertion instructions.

Re: Early 80's Pictures
is there a super loops type ride that travels around Australia now??
Re: Early 80's Pictures
While I believe one is still in the country it hasn't worked in a number of years.
