Many thanks

Re: Where are they now
Booths Wheel was sold to Rex Newton, now run by Stugeons I believe
Booths Octopus was sold to someone in the Hawkes Bay, never seen again
Big slide is in Storage
Mad Mouse was scrapped a number of years ago
Tip Top is in storage but unlikely to come out again
Cheers

It appears some of them are being converted to a Full Tilt by ARM. Didn't seem like it goes fast enough to be much fun.

Not much chance of that, I did not enjoy Lauries Breakdance at EKKA last year. Too long and too fast for little old me

Re: Rainbow's End New Zealand
I have been very impressed by the Powersurge travelling Aussie, everyting about it screams ride me. Yet I still havn't ridden one. I didn't think much of the one travelling the UK either, it looked very plan especially when you put it next to your model.

Re: Big Day Out 2009
The rides at Aucklands BDO have always been run free, do they charge normal prices in Aussie or are they supsidised by the promotors?
