Re: Rye and Rosebud Carnivals 2012/13

My perfect Rye would be: Enterprise, Rainbow, Pirate, Zipper, Orbitor (not Extreme), Super Loops, Turbo, Cha Cha, Break Dance (HUSS), Hurricane, Taipan/Big Dipper and Force 10. Given the ground space available I'm not even sure all those would fit, and I should have even mentioned a Ferris Wheel whi...

Re: Metropolis has gone bye-bye!

Haha so it's just some temporary holiday rides nothing crazy about that! I thought it was the announcement of a new ride but sadly not. I would have at least added a Zipper for summer or even Hurricane or Extreme. They've had Power Surge before anyway.

Wow. I was so close to dandy but we decided not going. Glad I didn't go. Anyone know what Ballarat had this year. I tried to organise going but never eventuated.

Re: Ballarat and Dandy Shows this weekend

Yeah I gathered, thanks Hussrainbow. There is a lot on this weekend I'm not really sure even about Ballarat, maybe Melton could be ok, I only ever went once but it was a fun little carnival atmosphere and some good classics were there.

Re: Mildura show

Not sure, but there are a few shows on this weekend. I think in the past Shorts Zipper has appeared, and even though I've never been I get the impression it's kind of a big show? Someone should know more so don't take any notice of my ramblings

I'm wondering the Benalla Show is worth a look? Has anyone else been before? I've been told its a fair sized carnival (i called them) but the person didnt know what rides are there? I'm thinking maybe a hurricane, round up, cha cha or even a Zipper??? It's only a couple hrs from melb so im thinking ...

Re: 2012 Royal Geelong Show

Thanks for all the updates everyone. It looks like an ok line up so far, even if it's still missing the regulars like the Zipper, and I doubt I'll get to ride one any time soon in Vic, unless somebody knows a better show somewhere near melbourne? Also, is MEGA DROP really there? i'm just wondering s...

Good to hear people still keen on seeing a Zipper. I sometimes think I'm the only one who is missing it so much.

You lucky buggers over in Perth! I wish Melbourne had most of these rides, especially the Rage, Zipper and the Orbitor. This lineup is way better than Melbourne. I noticed there are a few good videos of the Rage on YouTube, one on ride and I noticed it looks faster than I remember possibly? Also lov...

Re: Royal Melbourne Show '12

nah. Don't worry Mixer. There will be no enemies on this site for saying the show was bs!!!! In fact, I agree 100% (especially compared to the other years, the early to late 90s) I really thought it was pathetic too. Let's face it. the RMS is now dead. Even shows like KERANG last year had the ZIPPER...

Re: Royal Melbourne Show '12

It's FJF amusements . Just make sure you go on as a single rider you'll enjoy it more and don't let them tighten that belt up too much. I would have unclipped it however I was scared they would stop the ride! Haha

Re: Royal Melbourne Show '12

Yes. its not the Supa Sizzler though. I wouldn't be riding this one again since it has no padding and a very painful belt that digs into you, it hurts. I wish Supa Sizzler was back its great going backwards! No other unlisted rides I noticed but again my visit was rather an express one .

Only had time for a quick visit today, however managed to ride Extreme, Sizzler, Flashdance and Hard Rock. My time there was really limited. The best ride of the day for me was Hard Rock. It's such a really great ride and has now become a favourite for me. Lines were huge for Taipan, it seems popula...

2012 Royal Geelong Show

Just thought about this show and checked the website. Nothing is on the website yet of the ride line-up. It just says the line-up will be announced Aug/Sep so we should know soon I guess. I wonder what will appear this year. Please post if you can confirm any rides.
