Re: Gladstone harbour festival -2012.
Excellent news about Claw. is it really 20 years old???! such visually impressing ride, Watkins will travel this well (there are some many people who've never seen this ride before!). Great purchase for them.

Ipswich Show 2012
Hey All, Ipswich show is on much later in May this year 18th, 19th & 20th (I can't remember which NSW show it use to clash with). hopefully it gets a much stronger line-up, but it will also clash with Brisbane's Paniyri & The Gympie Regional Show (which usually has the weakest line-up of any...

Paniyri - 2012
Hey All Paniyri - Brisbane's ultimate Greek Festival is on again the weekend 19th & 20th of May. It clashed with Gympie show last year but had very solid ride line up (Hangover, Energy Storm, Cyber Party, Sky Walker, Techno Jump, Dale's Cha Cha, Dogems, magic circus and a few small joints) It's ...

Don't mean to scare anyone, but I can't see extreme amongst sideshow alley!! It all looks like a bit of a 'dogs breakfast' the person in charge of layout for this years show needs to find a new job. Hopeless!

Re: Ekka 2011
I've downloaded the app. It's not bad but it's just an app. You can check into certain rides and get free ice coffees and things. Kinda cool. It has also plotted all the rides on a map. But it's not very accurate

Re: Ekka 2011
RNA would see a Ferris Wheel as a Ferris Wheel. And so would most of the show goers. A chairlift is something that was never going to be swapped out with a portable model. Which is why a proper send off wouldve been overlooked. I've actually got some positive hope for the atmosphere this year. Call ...

Phew.... Barry park will also have rides. So the space they are losing with the tent will be made up. Barry park is usually where nova concert stage use to be.

Re: Ekka 2011
Thanks TG. I've just seen the Ekka map! So frustrating! I cannot believe the RNA is taking up significant space in side show alley for frigging show bags! Grr. Although part of that space was where some fixed food stalls normally are, so it could be worse. Does that giant wheel just look like Davis'...

Re: Ekka 2011
Power surge and insanity haven't been for a while. It's disappointing. Good rides bothe of them. What's Jurassic roller coaster? Never heard of it. I don't know hoe complete that list is. Definetly room for a couple more rides. I now live a 10min walk to the grounds so I'll be down there at first si...

Re: Gympie show this weekend
Hey Steve, welcome... Can you let us know what turned up, if it was bad how bad was it? The north run gradually builds as it goes up the coast. Bundy is usually the first show that has some guts about it.(but it's been at least 7yrs since I've been to it) and then Rocky is even bigger again. Gympie ...

Re: Paniyiri 2011
Sorry I don't have any photos guys. Super Jump was looking good, I don't know how long it's been since I've seen it. (only ever see Laurie's Techno Jump and it always looks good). I know what you mean Top Gunner, it can be pretty rough but it doesn't muck around which is what grew on me bout it this...

Energy Storm- holy shitballs!! That ride pulls some G's! Last time I rode it was back in 2005 when it was last on at Ekka. So you could imagine my excitement when I saw it down there today. This ride was so intense that I came close to blacking out, I could honestly feel my heart struggling. My righ...

Paniyiri 2011
This weekend is Paniyiri - Brisbane's annual Greek Festival. I've never been before but have always been told there is a good line-up of Rides for an event like this. I know Power Surge, Mid Night Express, Speed, Kamikaze and some of March's gear has made appearances in the past years. I'm trying to...

Re: 2011 Sydney Royal Easter Show
Psychodelic IMO is nothing special - it's a walk through ride, made it's debut at last year's Ekka along with Holly Wood of Horrors. Never given it a go, looks quite lame. Each room has an optical illusion with lights and lasers...

Re: Ipswich Show (Some Photos Added)
Hi All - sorry it's been a while! I went out to the show today, it was a great day for it! Last month I went to RES for the first time and I have to say I much prefer local show's like Ipswich, while they are small they aren't sterile, bordering on clinical and the atmosphere is 'real'. I rode Cyber...
