May I start by thanking Princess, Zamperla, Huss and Ozshowkid for one of the best days I've ever had! It was a pleasure meeting up with you guys after all this time and you were all even cooler than I had thought before which by the way was extremely cool.
My day was cut short somewhat by me having to work which is where I am so my review will be quick, partly because I'll have more to add after my next trip which will be this Saturday but also because others will want to add to what I've said.Well, our first ride of the day was Breakdance and what a fast one it was! Zamperla, Princess and I all rode it together and we all felt a bit sick after we got off because it went just that little bit too long.
We then headed for the Skymaster Wheel. I never get sick of this ride and have said before it offers much more to someone like me than the Skyview Wheel.
Zamperla then had a quick go on the Mega Drop, his first and thought it was pretty cool I think. I reckon it's faster than DW's Giant Drop but I know heaps of people would disagree with me and perhaps they're right.
Then it was the Techno Jump. I hadn't tried this one before so I was keen to see what it was like. I loved it! The varied movements kept things interesting and it did have some really thrilling moments for me which was good.
Zamperla then tried the Sky Walker. I deliberately sat this one out because I had to work this arvo and was still feeling a bit sick after Breakdance. I let Zamperla tell you what he thought but one thing we noticed was that the ride cycle was very short. Ozshowkid told us later there are three different cycles that vary in length and intensity.
Princess and Zamperla then rode Rainbow; I again sat this one out but really I shouldn't've, I was just too thirsty at the time! Anyway, it was at this point we met up with Huss for a quick chat which was good.
My final ride for the day was March's Waveswinger. It was running well but not all the chairs were being loaded which did slow the queue considerably.
After a good chat with Ozshowkid, I had to leve which was disapointing but I can say it was a great day and I can't wait to return!
The only bad thing was the extreme heat; there should definitely be more shade and seating in the main carnival area. It's quite uncomfortable walking around there in the middle of the day!
So there you have it, my first review for RES 2008. I plan to do many more rides on Saturday and am keen to meet up with any AAF members who may be around. Zamperla took a heap of pics during the meet and I'm sure he will post them when he can.
One more thing. I hope there are heaps of showies reading this because I want to thank you all for being so polite, helpful and cool! You were all very helpful and I thank you for that heaps and heaps.
Anyway great reviews guys! I wish I was there 
The last carnival I went to was EKKA!
