Re: Rockhampton Show
Well here it is. Sorry for the delay guys, but had a few issues to contend with first. This year our show was moved back to the Friday, Saturday, Sunday format and clashing dates with the Yeppoon show (50 k's away) held over the weekend. They said numbers were up from previous years but the ride lis...

Wonderful news! Hope it does the north run. I've only been on Brooks' Turbo and that was pretty intense!

Re: Small fair on Ridley Reserve
Geez, judging by the age of the motor that runs the Tilt A Whirl, it looks like it was the second one to come off the production line. Check out the old steel wheels!

Re: 2011 Perth Royal Show (October 1st-8th)
So Australia has 2 "Fastest rides"???- Rage and Thunder Bolt. Obviously this claim to fame has been verified by some sort of 'speed detection device' ?(eg: speed camera) Sounds like a gimmick to get riders on!.

Re: 2011 Royal Melbourne Show
Although I haven't seen the Rainbow ride, as it hasn't been to Rocky, show societies would be mad not to have such a big ride at their shows as they charge ride operators a certain amount of dollars for the amount of "frontage"their ride takes up. That is why most rides are set up depth wi...

Re: Adelaide Show '11
Nice pix Dazzleland, glad to see your parents let you take some photos after all. I know those cameras can be dangerous things, I once took a photo and had the camera facing back to front. I was out of action for days due to the camera flash blinding me :oops: . Really though, for a capital show, th...

Re: Rocky show 2011
Sorry for the late review, but had to attend a family emergency and have only just got back. Well I managed to try out the Mixer and it was a different experience which I quite enjoyed. I must say, I was a bit disappointed with the Extreme though. Compared to the Energy Storm, it was a bit slower an...

AUSSIE WORLD GOES INTO RECEIVERSHIP.
I was talking to friends of mine last night who were up from Beerwah, and they said that they had heard news reports that Aussie World had gone into receivership. This does not sound too good considering the money they have just spent installing the new Redback ride. Hopefully they can get out of th...

Re: Rocky show 2011
Well the "unidentified" ride I saw coming in late at night was actually the Mixer. Bugger me! 3 new rides for Rocky in the one year must be some sort of record (assuming the Disko and Extreme turn up from Bundy.) Can't wait to try the Mixer from the clips on Youtube I've seen, as long as t...

Well, some of the rides have started turning up early this year. Obviously some gave the Bundy show a miss this year. This morning there was the Mega Drop,Haunted Hotel,Magic Circus Fun Factory and parts of the Crazy Coaster. Tonight (9:30pm) the Space Roller was in and partly set up and another rid...

Lindsay Bros.
I have a new guy who is working with us at the moment and in general conversation he said he used to travel the show circuit with "Lindsay Bros." Amusements. I have never heard of them but they mainly did southern shows years ago. Has any one heard of them and are they still around?

I'll be heading along to the Rocky Show as well (work permitting). Rides should start to roll in next weekend after Bundy. No doubt Josh or myself will keep you up to date on what's here this year- usually 30+ rides. Looking forward to seeing the Disko and riding the Extreme (if it shows). At least ...
