Awful news
But must say the the condition of the car in the photo makes me think what the rest of the ride is like not sure i'd be riding this one

I happen to drive past the grounds from a quick glance across I saw Kamikaze and at least 5 jumping castles can't imagine this event has improved for last year I think Josh posted a review I definitely wouldn't recommend a drive from Gympie This event seems to continue to loose community support Sev...

I always thought a Waltzer was the same as a Tilt

I can't imagine Australians laws allowing attendants to walk around on the ride like that
