Just to add, the Top Gun and O'neill's ranger are manufactured by 2 different companies. The Top Gun is an A.R.M High flier, (the only single arm ranger on our shores) and then the fabbri kamikaze. But the top gun can do a full loop quiker than the fabbri kamikaze's. The top gun takes a couple of swings and once the arm is horizontal, the arm can then do a full loop over the top. But the thing that the top gun lacks, is that it can't do the fast upside down loops that o'niels ranger can do. But my mate who owns the top gun told me, he can set it up with about 4 men in close to an hour and a half

I completely agree with you Huss. I was so thrilled to see it was still at some of our shows this year and going better than ever despite the incident at Moomba. The Ranger doesn't stay upside down as long as the Topgun, Hangover etc but the speed of the loops it does is amazing, not to mention that characteristic sound of the highly geared motor and the cages sweeping over the platform. I love it and I hope O'Neil's will keep it travelling.HUSSRAINBOW wrote:theres something that I'll always love about O'Neills ranger... i think it was all those times wittingslow would bring it out... such a classic ride! im glad its still around

I checked out the carnival on Friday. Everything was going. Thrill rides were $5 each(or coupons). As I said Slingshot was up and running but no Insanity, bit disappointed. (Durkin couldn't get it up).
First was the Top Gun. Looking very sleek with the new "2 fast 2 furious" theme paint job. Giving us a good 5 minute ride cycle. Taking only 4 swings to get over the top and do a full loop. Lots of hang time(or upside time hanging us there). But very fun. But not as fast loops as O'neill's ranger.
Soon was the hurricane. Looking a bit run down but the cars were newly painted. Not a long ride cycle 'bout 2 minutes. Sound of air wasn't loud. Not the best ride on a hurricane I've had.
After was the sizzler. Getting some good fast speed. New paint job and a good long ride cycle.
As I said everything else was running. Slingshot was $20. I think that will be the permanent price from now on(to get more customers) and there was also the dodgems, zoomer and other kids rides. Carnival runs till the end of the holidays. Saturday night there will be fireworks.
