Well i heard that Texas was down on people this year which is a shame but apparently the Shockwave was a hit which was good. The hollywood drive went real well 2 i heard, which is great. :lol:

I don't think the Hollywood Drive will be there, It will most likely be Coney Fair's Dodgem Track at Ekka Princess.

I dont know why, but I cannot remember a dogem track being there at all, I know that is not true, but I find it so interesting that I do not recall a dogem track, I know there were two that I remember in Sydney, but unfortunately these rides are ones I have selective sight, I do not see them, or see through them, I have a zero care factor where they are concerned, but they are still and will always be very popular, I have not been on one for years, as I find them not very kind on the body, physically. :?

I can recall 2 tracks at EKKA: Coney Fair and Bells - I am fairly certain there was a third that has appeared the last few years but unsure whose.

hey worked the texas show it was small but great a few mates also worked there it was funny my lil cuzzy flirted with the cactus out there.
i saw a the occy had a new guy operating it ive seen him round he made us all laugh he tried so hard to out do the loud spiels of the shockwave but couldnt quite get there. he had me laughing so hard it hurt he was even laughing at him self. great to see he had a go i guess once the owner gets there new speakers the occy will do better lol, i enjoyed the show it was quiet but they had fire works which were ok. i cant wait to do the next show. i cant wait to ride the shockwave at pine rivers this weekend. wasnt aloud to this weekend my cuzzy broke my arm lol long story. it was nice to rub shoulders around the fire on thursday night with the bosses family.
