Re: ROYAL GEELONG SHOW 2009
That's a pretty poor line up for Geelong. I doubt I will even go now. It seems with each show, they get worse, or there is only one good ride, in this case the Zipper. The rest I can take or leave easily.

Re: Royal Melbourne Show 2009
This looks a pretty sad excuse for a Royal Show carnival...never though RMS would come to this. NOTHING great at all this year.

Re: Royal Melbourne Show 2009
NL is really a hit and miss. I only ride when I see the operator is locking the gondola upside down when swooping through the station. That doesn't seem to happen much though. XXXL looks fairly tame. Short ride cycles and it seems they only let the gondolas swing free at the end of the ride when the...

Re: penrith show 2009............................
the cars seem to 'flip' more so than Speed. Probably only due to balance (or unbalanced) riders. Looks good. Thanks for sharing the video.

Re: Gold Coast Show 2009
Of course I know nothing about what exactly happened, but it sounds to me like a rather irresponsible parent blaming the ride operator. A responsible parent would probably not even take their child on a ride like the Zipper if they had any doubts about safety for the child at all. I hope the child i...

Re: Scorpion
Funny you mention this. It kind of made me think that one of the things I like most about rides is the different 'tubs' and 'cars' we find ourselves hopping into. I dunno maybe I am a weird ride nerd but it seems a big part of the ride experience to me....haha, ahhhh how I just like those few minute...

Re: Royal Melbourne Show 2009
Yeah, must be Top Gunner. It's a massive let down that the Zipper no longer goes, but who knows maybe one day it will be back. It was always one of the most loved rides, most of the cages were full at the busiest times....and to think there were 2 of them, shorts and witts. hahaha, it sure made It p...

Re: Royal Melbourne Show 2009
I'd like to believe Tornado is the new name for the Super Loops we should all be seeing around the traps soon... I doubt it though since the Tornado name really does not work at all for a Super Loops ride.

Re: Royal Melbourne Show 2009
Interesting to see Bells Tornado amongst the new rides... I bet it will do pretty well. I just wish Bells could get Hurricane on as well. Hmmm ... seems the classics never die

They should just park the Turbo over at the Showgrounds and prepare it for the next Melbourne Show. Man I hope this ride makes a big comeback soon.DEEFA DODGEM wrote:Turbo has had a new paint job and is in Melbourne waiting for payment to be picked up,hopefully not too long.

So Star Flyer and XXXL are confirmed for Adelaide which ends SEP 12, then Melbourne starts up on the 17th....I don't think these will make it over to VIC in time now will they? I wish these two shows were spaced out more since Melbourne is really getting boring each year, we still haven't seen Sky W...

Re: EKKA 2009
I have never been to EKKA, sadly. I think I have missed the best years from what I can tell, like with most capital shows. I will have to wait until September for my go on the new KMG ride... I can't wait for it!

Re: Technical Park-TRASFORM YOUR STREET FIGHTER TO REVOLUTION!
I wonder if the design of the restraints would need to be changed for this to be safe? I know the current restraint design would probably still be safe work, but I can't imagine being held upsidedown with those restraints for some reason. The design works well and allows the rider to float a little ...

wow. All I can say is that this puts most so called capital shows to shame, it's really turning out to be a very nice line up. Good mix of new and older rides. I bet the atmosphere there would be just great.

Bring on Rye 2009/10...it sure will be a lot of fun, and I can't wait to see the big loop all lit up again. Who knows, might even get down there this year to see it all being set up. Good times.
