Re: Ekka 2011
Moveable but a massive job. Was put up a couple of months before the show.

Re: Ekka 2011
Ekka is getting some bad comments and complains left on their Facebook page over the half assed job they have done/doing this year. They are deleting negitive and keeping all possitive comments, but they are coming thick and fast and don't think they cant keep up with the deletions.

Re: ARM Ali-Baba
Yeah I did hear that.
Midnight and Ali already do heaps of country shows and my guess is they won't be anymore. Maybe they will sell one to me now lol

Re: ARM Ali-Baba
Actually Zamp I think you just jogged a memory, I'm sure I heard something to that effect somewhere not that long ago. You have it in one word "COPY". Yet another new version of an old ride. I guess by buying brand new and calling it something different it will push older Ali's off their g...

Good to see old Python Loop, always wondered where that coaster ended up. I remember it at Brisbane many years ago.

Three dead after Xtrem Freak Out ride breaks apart in Spain
(August 8, 2011) - In one of the deadliest carnival ride accidents in decades, three men were killed and a 16-year-old girl was seriously injured when a carnival ride broke apart in Toledo, Spain. The ride, whose signs read "Xtrem" and "Freak Out," consists of a vertical arm that...

RES Giant Slide has a new home
Looks like Aussie World has brought the Giant Slide that was formally at Sydney Show Grounds. Also looks like something is on the go near their new Redback (Disko) Ride. http://www.nearmap.com/?q=@-26.750118,153.045304&ll=-26.750118,153.045304&z=19&t=h&nmd=20110719 Don't think it's a...

Re: Ekka 2011
Steve, Hurricane listed the lineup on the first page of this thread. Ok day 2 over and I took my new camera in to take some pics, will post over the weekend. I can officially say the worst Ekka I've been to in the last 29 years and hearing the same thing over and over from other people there too. I ...

Re: A few unique rides I'd like to have in Australia
I agree Huss, I actually find it loses its action when it raises, much better just as a break dance

Re: Ekka 2011
Well back already and very disappointing. The atmosphere isn't there and the big white showbag tent is an eyesore and inside no normal showbag pavillion hype. Went on Extreme not a bad ride think it would be better in reverse forward gets a bit boring even at the 4.5G top speed. Disko well what a di...

Re: What's happening in surfers
It cost big money craneing it all up piece by piece so whoever gets it will be up for those costs too.
It is a shame but very poor uneducated decision to start with.

Re: Ekka 2011
I am heading in first thing in the morning. Must say I don't really have the Ekka vibe yet and with all the changes not sure I'm going to get it.....but I hope I do. This will be my 29th Ekka, not bad for a 30yo. I only missed 2006 when I had my pub in the UK. I average 8 days every year (most years...

Re: What's happening in surfers
I can't see how it is going to survive. There is nothing to look at there except the side of buildings. There is also a blacked out VIP car. Would have cost a fortune getting it up there...every piece had to be craned up. http://www.australianamusementfanatics.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=27...

Well I'm thinking I may just have to fly down and check out Adelaide show this year (depending on what bookings I have here and if I can get away). I did the RES last year for the first time and hear alot of good things about Adelaide
