Australian Amusement Fanatics

What year was the Scorpian built?

That's awesome mate Thanks for sharing.

How many Music Trip/Miami rides do we have in Australia? I know there's Disco Show 2002, Dominator, Crazy Wave, Surf's Up, Hot Gun, and a bunch of Music Trips. Also I remember we had La Bamba but don't know if it's still on our shores?

I REAAAALLY HOPE XXXL RETURNS TO MELBOURNE BECAUSE I HAD SUCH AN AWESOME TIME ON IT AT MOOMBA!!!

Why don't you go to the Rye Carnival during the Summer Holidays because we have the Cha-Cha! I just can't believe that it's the ORIGINAL!

Maybe they're gonna buy Fail Tower Coaster It won't happen TG!

I can't wait to ride XXXL again! Also I miss Rock & Roll and Extreme! And this year I HAVE TO DO FREESTYLE AND/OR NO LIMIT!!! Start saving my money and then I will have a field day yay! Hopefully I will get to meet some of you guys. And I don't think we will get any new rides and to be bluntly h...

HUSS when are you leaving for Europe and for how long?

That's awesome mate! I haven't worked at any carnival, but Rye Carnival is like my third home! Would love to see some pictures of yester year

This is kinda embarassing, but when I first rode the Ali Baba in 2004 I squeeled like a little girl! The sad thing was that I was 13!

Funfields isnt that bad... it's morso a toboggan park, that's what they predominantly market it at... Pirate seems to be doing well there I hear! Shame they gave it that disgusting name! Blackbeards Fury... Yeah kick the person that came up with that name! Yeah I'm with you HUSS! Blackbeard Fury is...

The first time I ever rode Rainbow back in 1999 at Moomba. Hated absolutely every second of it! haha I was only 11 then... I always wanted to ride it as a child at Rye, it was the most amazing thing at the carnival. I didn't ride it again until 2004 when I finally worked up the courage to get back ...

That explains why she prefers Hard Rock over Dreamworld's Claw

I was on the Mixer with my cousin and we were having a casual chat whilst the ride was in motion and there was a guy s****ing himself :lol: He sounded like he was going through labour! I mean he was using a lot of expletives it was hilarious! He thought he was going to die and he was screaming out w...

Here's some others that I just thought of. When I last went on the Crazy Dancer my car went psycho and all I could see was a speed blur which was totally AWESOME!!! Also when I first went on the Breakdance in 2001 they were playing We're Going To Ibiza by The Vengaboys! Ah memories.

An old chair o plane owned by solo, oldies will remember him, he would swing the chairs manually as it swung around, haha totally oh&s no no, back then you could jump on an off a moving merry go round, or swing tilt cars to make them go faster. Sorry a bit off topic, it was a pleasant reminder ...

I have quite a few. Firstly I nearly fell off the Pirate at Rye when it was going down because I lost my balance (stupid kid :lol: :lol: :lol: ) Secondly I was on the Ghetto Strip Train (Ghost Train at Rye) we at the exit and the ride broke down and the car was pushed back to the station and I had a...

How could you not get enough momentum to do the full loop?

I hate how the REALLY cool rides are overseas. I would happly ride Air just for the experience. I wish we had a High Energy in Aus. But I'm pretty sure that the trailer load is too heavy for the roads...

I HATE THOSE DAMN LOWER PANELS!!!

Yep that Chant's Alii Baba is called Rock Star. But why the hell would you have 2 Ali's in one freaking show

This is one awesome looking piece of machinary. HUSS when you ride it tell us about it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MpcS-L6VWok So jealous

I really wanna check out; Zipper, Turbo, Sky Diver, Energy Storm, Twin Flip, No Limit, Speed/FreeStyle, Rainbow, Thunderbolt and Scenic Railway. I know Scenic Railway isn't that exciting, but since it's nearly 100 years old and each time I go to Luna Park the damn ride is under repairs!
