Re: eKKA 2010

Ekka 2010 - I am worried.. No signs of xxl, speed, kamikaze, insanity, slingshot (which have been rumoured not to be showing at all), star flyer, most of TPA's gear, pinks crazy cars or wave swinger.. It goes on. Instead we have 2 roller coasters and a flume taking up most of the grounds. And crappy...

Re: eKKA 2010

Hmm interesting that taipan is back on. It means crazy coaster or pirates won't be on. Disappointing to here insanity won't be their either! But would free up space for fear?? If they fix the issues. Ekka will want some new/ big thrill ride as a draw card. It's going to be interesting to see how it ...

Re: Top Gun for sale

I've had an idea - could we separate / categories users into 'industry members' and 'non-industry members' (like myself). I say this because users who claim to be a notable figures in the industry have a lot of weight in here, so obviously in their interest to be properly validated. For example it w...

Guy's just saw quickly on Ten News - Fear broke down today... just saw a quick clip of some riders stuck sitting in there cart. Looks like its having a few 'teething' problems, hope it all gets sorted out soon.

Re: 2010 Sydney Royal Easter Show

Carnevil looks awesome! Thanks for the photos. I think Fear will come to EKKA, don't know about the past history with Oneil's and the RNA, but RNA will be sweating on getting such a major attraction - and ONeil's need to do as many 'Big' East coast shows to make the investment worthwhile... well tha...

Topgunner, cheers for the set-up photo's! They're awesome. That new coaster looks very interesting. It will come to Ekka of course?? Carnevil - doesn't look like a Rhollerghoster re-brand to me, it never had a spiral ramp or the in out veranda on the second level and its taller than that. In fact it...

Powersurge will look awesome converted to LED's!! - While it always presents extremely well, and it tip top condition... I've always thought it looked a little dull compared to other rides on the grounds.

Just by the look of it - think it might be Pink's Joy Whizzer. Though the last time I saw the Joy Whizzer it was white!! - so that was a long time ago and i'm not 100% sure. Two things make me think it's Pink's - the gondolas and the lighting, it's the only whizzer i've seen that has scalloped light...

Re: March's Hurricane

People usually go to those events for the Music - not the rides unfortunately. I think Good Vibes was on the same day down the coast not sure if they had any rides... That's no good PNC. So it was just your Trooper and March's Hurricane?

Hi guys, Just thought you should all know March's Hurricane was set-up at Brisbane's Soundwave Festival on the weekend standing proudly on the RNA Carnival grounds... pitty classics don't get a look in anymore.
