Australian Amusement Fanatics

Thought I start a new topic and would ask if anyone here has any cool older videos they could share or link to as I found one recently (see the VIC shows topic I created for the Geelong Show 1994), I never took any cameras to the shows back then, really wish I did now I think about it!

this should be of interest to some here I would think. Just look at those classics!

Thought I would start a thread because I've realised no one has mentioned the new Eurofighter for Adenture World. I think it opens soon, or by the end of the year, it should be a good one, from what I have seen it's similar to Saw - the Ride at Thorpe Park If anyone from Perth can please post a revi...

Look forward to it. Im keen to go but I have no idea of whats going? I wish Zipper returned, it no longer goes but was always a favourite.

I just found a few things looking at newer rides online and came across this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYHPNS0FG_g I think looks like fun, even maybe a little thrilling even. It's a classic with a twist. I'd love to try one someday and I think it would look good at the capitalis. Shame abo...

yeah, it's pretty sad the RMS is as bad as it is. I recall as a kid getting so excited leading up to the show, not anymore. The carnival is not the same, no more rides that lured me year after year, you know, the classics, they all left years ago, I should have too. I'd need to see something really ...

You should like the Air Maxx 360, it's fun, just not that groundbreaking. Make the most of it mixer, I don't see the show getting any better next year or after that, I'm trying to be optimistic :? I'd of course love to see a bunch of classics return, especially the Zipper and Turbo. What ever happen...

So I have been down to take a look at this years show, wow what a sad place compared to past years. I had a go on Air Maxx 360 just incase its one of those rare rides that appear once or twice and you never get to see it again, for example Twin Flip and Energy Storm sadly. I have to say Air Maxx 360...

Agree with the XXL, it would be an amazing ride I think. I'd love to try ove out. As much as I like Speed, we have more than enough, they are good KMG rides but not that good IMO. A KMG Experience would be nice to see, I've always been interested in how that would be to ride, it looks fun. Never rid...

wow, looks great! Nice colours and the lap bars don't seem that bad at all, although it will be strange riding with nothing much to hold on to

Thanks for posting the ride review.

I would like to see a real classic put in it's place. A Chance Turbo would do, if I had my way.

Great looking machine! thanks for sharing, I miss Force 10, it was one of my favourite rides, literally one of the only rides that ever bought tears to my eyes due to the speed of it (those who have been on will know what I'm on about) !

Ok, so it's nearing again. I'd like to know more about Airmaxx 360? I'm not finding anything much and the RMS website has no real picture of it, I hope it's good?' edit.. ok so I found out what AIRMAXX 360 is.. Basically a Techno Jump with rotating, looks really nice and colourful but it's not reall...

Only lap bars on a ride like that? Stuff that I was really hanging onto the harness on Hard Rock and still felt like I was going to fall out lol Interesting point raised. I actually love the Hard Rock! It's harness keeps you in enough, you can't fall really (it's completely safe), and having no lap...

yes, agree Perth seems to always be a great show and the line up always includes a bunch of classic rides I drool over such as the Orbiter (Extreme is nice over here but I'm a such a sucker for the genuine classics, can't beat 'em). I always check out as many vids on Youtube that appear each year an...

^ No Limit is a great ride. I remember the first ride I went on alone, no one else with me would dare ride it! I was not in any way afraid, it did not intimidate me one bit to tell the truth..... I was a little bored at the start of the ride as it is essentially a big swing that rocks you back and f...

Thanks heaps for all the info. It's an ok line up not as good as previous years though. Ill be down at some stage over the long weekend should be fun.

To think that I used to look forward to Moomba more than I did the Royal Melbourne Show, it used to be jam packed with the best selection of rides. I think the last time I rode Force 10 was at Moomba. If a lot of big names are not going, who is? Maybe this means there will be a couple of classics ba...

Anyone know some rides going this year? I looked on the website but failed to find any info. I found the map, and it actually has a looping roller coaster on there!!! could this be for real or just a cruel joke to get people like me excited, I would like to think that Big Dipper has made it's way ov...

^If I remember from last time, the yellow scorpion cars spin fastest, so unless they changed the colour scheme for the cars I would ride the yellow only. I would love if the Zipper turned up again, it would really make the carnival come alive again, it's felt weird since it left. I assume Cha Cha is...

That's good news about all these rides showing up..Hard Rock is a great ride! It's even better when you ride it at night (as you will at RYE), add some smoke, lighting, loud music, a good crowd to ride with and it is a blast. I'm glad Scorpion is back, it's been a couple years since I've had a chanc...

Went by Rye today on way to Sorrento, only Pirate is there racked, nothing else yet.

Is it confirmed? IF so, that means Sling Shot and Hard Rock are the two 'new' rides??????? Hard Rock is fun, but still want my Zipper!
