2008 Newcastle Show
2008 Newcastle Show
This show runs from 10 to 13 April and will feature the following rides.
Mad Mouse
SkyMaster
• Splash Canyon
• Ferris Wheel
• Yo Yo
• Tornado
• Star Chase
• Giant Slide
• Mini Ferris Wheel
• Happy Caterpillar
• Chair-o-Plane
• Adrenaline Rush
• UFO
• Jurassic Adventure
• Euro Bounce
• Classic Carousel
• Pony Rides
• Camel Rides
• Sizzler.
It isn't a bad lineup but boy it's strange to see rides like No Limit, Speed, Sky Walker etc missing from such a major event. It sounds like the UFO Topgunner mentioned is just about here and I'm assuming the Adrenaline Rush is the Super Loop.
I don't think I'll make it up to Newcastle as Hawkesbury is on the same weekend and it is promising some really major rides.

Hawkesbury is goping to go off this year. The skyview wheel is making a return and the halloween is prob going to make it. And im sure skywalker is going. And ill do a massive review(prob my biggest yet). Its a good line up for newcastle. Adrenaline rush is an inflatable with a circuit through it. Its not the supaloop. Anyway hawkesbury will definately be the better show

Hi all,
Just posting an updated rides listing for the Newcastle Show,which is from the official website
Mad Mouse
SkyMaster from Coney Island New York
Splash Canyon
Chaos
The Claw
Dodgem Cars
Awesome Starship
Ferris Wheel
Yo Yo
Tornado
Star Chase
Giant Slide
Mini Ferris Wheel
Happy Caterpillar
Chair-o-Plane
Adrenaline Rush
UFO
Jurassic Adventure
Euro Bounce
Classic Carousel
Pony Rides
Camel Rides
Sizzler
and Many More
Plus on the local Channel Nine affiliate NBN 3, they have advertised the show stating that there will be two Roller coasters. I am assuming that this will also include the Wacky Worm as has been previously stated.
I am a little disappointed in the ride line up I must say. When I was growing up, the Newcastle show was the biggest Regional show in NSw and the quality of rides thatcame reflected this. I certainly remember the Turbo ,Zipper and other quality rides appearing. Of course this was before the dispute with the guild that has plagued the show in recent years. Can someone in the industry please update me on this situation please??
Well I will still go( I am going to take my son-he is a ride freak in the making @ 3!!) and I will endeavour to post some pics and trip report!!
Cheers

Maybe in the future we'll have a mini Jobius Lol Yeh im disapointed with the lineup. I dont know whether wacky worm will go. It might but i doubt it. If u go, can u do a review with pics. Im interested to see what OFA showstar's UFO is. Lucky u guys are getting chaos and claw. Some good rides to add on. A shame as u said with the Guild dispute, and as u said in the zipper and turbo being there, it is dissapointing not getting as good of quality rides anymore. Hopefully the problem will be solved one day
