Re: New KMG Speed for Goldenway Amusements

I think the original unit may be staying here in Australia and possibly going to someone in the family?? Not 100% on that but hey agree with you Hurricane they are a great ride. For the size they are quick set-up and pull-down, look great and are good earners so they may just be doing that possibly

Shame to see the line-up declining up there, is it true that "temporary" showbag hall is there for a few years?

Re: Fraser Coast Show 2013 (Maryborough)

Cheers for the photos. Shame though as Flashdance is no where near as good as what it used to be. Used to run so fast when Chant's had it, since the drive motors got changed a few years ago it all went down-hill

You could hardly move around the carnival area. But a very slow show the week leading up to the long weekend was just dead. But Po...
