Re: Another Rainbow Removed
Thats part of the problem, you cant see whats inside the arm of the Rainbow. At least on a Ali you can visually inspect the external drive whenever you want without to much effort.

Re: Another Rainbow Removed
I actually like the theming on that ARM Alibaba. I like the AliBaba as a ride but never liked the flying carpet theme. If all the Rainbows disappear I'd be tempted to have on themed the same. I know its sacralidge but if you cant have the HUSS Rainbow this is the next best thing.

Re: Another Rainbow Removed
I would have loved to get hold of the Sun and Rainbow Arch. Hate seeing good rides that have nothing wrong with them go to ride heaven.

Re: A few unique rides I'd like to have in Australia
Yeah that sounds about right when I would have gone on it and I did only see it the 1 year. I only went on it as I remember seeing them in old school US movies.

Re: Let's do something to bring back Rainbow
Wow factor is no good if its not working. Rainbow has a massive wow factor and in another few years if it came back would have a whole new following from the next generation of riders. Take a look at Chants Rock and Roll, I look at it and go why would you its just a new Alpine and I think it runs so...

The "green light" isn't given until the ride is up to scratch. When applying to get on to the shows you must provide recent photos as part of the application

Re: New Attraction
Update Zip Lines will be in the park but my first thought of a Fly Coaster is correct. http://adventureropegear.com/blog/?p=496 I believe they will be pay as you play attractions. I cant see people spending all that money to get in will then pay extra for these. Not being funny but when Fly was open...

Re: 2011 Tamworth Country Music Festival
None of them. Yes Jubilee do have a picture of it but they only subhire either March's or Bernie's when it has been up here. They have only ever used the Hurri 3 or 4 times because as I said in my earlier post it isn't really suited to fetes and they find that schools only ever book it the once and ...

Re: 2011 Tamworth Country Music Festival
PNC has it right, I was going to comment on this a week ago saying that but was waiting to see if it was going to do Tamworth. It is a big ride for the fete's here in Brisbane. Alot of primary school aged kids find it a bit to scary so we will see how it goes. It is a Brisbane Fete/Festival operator...

Re: australias newest ride
The camera idea sounds great. I rode my first zipper this year at Brisbane Ekka. I love all types of rides but this one I have always steered clear off. My mate talked me in to riding it so I did. Well what a awesome experience and of course because he works on the showgrounds as a operator for Paul...

Re: Dean Davis On Today Tonight
I get guys like that former copper all the time when I'm towing my rides. They don't understand how much room you need and I've been overtaken on double white lines numerous times. Sometimes it is an accident that you cut someone off as sometimes your visibility isn't great or obscured. The former c...

Re: Wonder if this the ex Aussie Enterprise
Actually it is the same make as the Reef Diver at Dreamworld. I was working there when we pulled the old Enterprise out which went to Downunder Land in Canberra and sat in the back paddock. It should have been scrapped! I think the Reef Diver was brought in from a defunct park somewhere in Asia and ...

Re: What's happening in surfers
The land The Bungy, Fly Coaster and ParaNoia, Mini Bungy Trams etc were on is up for lease. From what I hear Vomitron and Sling Shot are negotiating staying on. There is talk os a Go-Kart track going on the site but I doubt due to noise it would go ahead.
