I just love snowcones, almost as much as the fresh lemonades which are so refreshing after a hard day's riding.

I do wish snowcone cups were a bit larger; I always end up wearing half of it and how sticky it is!

Have a good Rocky Show guys; I look forward to your reviews as usual.

LOL Josh

I've heard the snowcones are the best in Australia, so I'll be there.

...the Tiger Airways price-breaker return flight certainly helped.

I am looking forward to seeing some different rides hopefully.

If anyone cares to PM me, feel free.

More than happy to catch up with anyone.

Can you take some photos Zamperla? Thanks. I like the sounds of your snocones Josh. One day I'll have to try one of yours specially

Gonna be a quiet couple of quiet days if it stays cold!! Got down to 6 degrees 2 nights ago!! And yes, thats freezing for Rocky

Top Gunner14 · Post by **Top Gunner14** » Wed May 21, 2008 5:46 pm

Yes, it's 2 degrees a night here in Windsor. Yes Josh, bad buisness if its cold for you

Topgunner, these people up here in QLD do not know what cold is, it is a balmy 15 degrees in the morning here, warms up to around 21-23 in the SE anyway, all I am hearing is how cold it is, give me a break.

Top Gunner14 · Post by **Top Gunner14** » Thu May 22, 2008 5:41 pm

Yes i know, they don't usually get that cold weather up there. I'd say all to do with Global Warming. Even though it's getting colder

Hurricane · Post by **Hurricane** » Thu May 22, 2008 7:38 pm

It's Freeezing here... I'm in board shorts and a singlet

tooheyzz · Post by **tooheyzz** » Thu May 22, 2008 8:43 pm

Hopefully the wind and the clouds will stay away that will make the days excellent and the night just cool

Top Gunner14 · Post by **Top Gunner14** » Sat May 24, 2008 5:57 pm

As soon as the sun goes down, it gets bloody freezing

And funny you Hurricane, dress like me, boardies and singlet, would that be a blue wifebeater

That was like me at Lithgow show last year, freezing cold with all the locals rugged up in a couple of layers and then you see me just in my Acubra, singlet, jeans and boots. I soon started to feel the chill as it got closer into the night.

Anyone have an idea of what rides are going to be at the show?

Looks like Rocky is getting a new Big Wheel this year. Don't know which one it is yet as I haven't seen much of the ones that have been down south, but this one is BIG! 3 trailers for the main ride workings and 1 trailer and a B-Double for the carriages. Guess we'll find out next Tuesday. Not long now......

Hurricane · Post by **Hurricane** » Mon May 26, 2008 4:41 pm

Hmmm... Sounds like Verfurths wheel, or SkyView. I personally really liked the Skyview wheel.

Top Gunner14 · Post by **Top Gunner14** » Mon May 26, 2008 5:13 pm

That's interesting. I like the Skyview but I don't think that's it because it has about 5 B-Doubles and 9 Semi-Trailers. I don't know how many Veruth's racks onto

ozshowkid · Post by **ozshowkid** » Mon May 26, 2008 10:16 pm

Yes the wheel is the Sky view it will be doing a few shows on the north run.

cheers OZshowkid

You only like the Skywheel Hurricane, cause you are fully enclosed, dont you.

Hurricane · Post by **Hurricane** » Tue May 27, 2008 2:30 pm

That is probably the only reason... But that Korea accident, and then the Sea World eye doing the same thing put me off a little bit... Considering they are the exact same gondolas!
