Well today it's here, back again for 2008... Yeah I am very surprised as to the layout... cannot wait to see SPACE ROLLER, NO LIMIT, POWER SURGE, HARD ROCK and ALI BABA all narrowly miss each other... hahaha. I just wish the carnival included Zipper and Rainbow... that would have made my 2008 Show.

Will be heading down this afternoon...
So as promised, here are the photos, taken for the very first time at night, security was very nice, the guy was more than happy for us to go and look around....

Indusol, a european company did SPACE ROLLER, if you look on the right hand side of the ride, the logo is actually on the backwall.... Id love if they had a good clear shot of it, while it was being done for the Faller Salto Mortale... haha maybe Russell can help me out

Depends on how any rides you want to go on. Power Surge costs $8, Ali Baba $7, No Limit $15, Speed $15, then I'd say everything else is around $7-$10.
