I am getting a wee bit disturbed by all the new rides coming, (I know am I mad), imo how long can our showmen keep this up, the turn over of the rides they are bringing in, are beginning, to have a very short life span, how old is mega drop, already not at a Capital, how old is that, (yes I am hearing you regarding what some of you actually think of this ride), but soon it will be others that are only new, that are going to be replaced, by newer better models, I just dont think we have the population to cope, I suppose they can turn over their rides, sell them to other people overseas, which would create a better flow, in and out of the country. Not sure how this will end????

In the coming rides you'll see definately not as many as this coming. Sure there'll be the newies but not alot. I see where your coming from Princess, we can't just keep booting off rides off the capitals. Shame the Drop has gone off the Ekka this year. Yeh that too, we don't have the population like Europe, America etc. We simply don't have the people to support all these new rides. And it is a shame some of the older rides are starting to fade out now.

All over the world, there is a bit of swapping and selling going on.

I know that I have said it time and time again, but we need to see the classics back at the Capitals, it's just too disturbing seeing all these 1 trailer fibreglass machines at a show.
Yes there is the possibility of Rainbow coming back, Garry knows how much that ride is in demand, but also a crowd favourite, I'd love to see Pirate make a well loved comeback, along with Enterprise.

Who knows what the future will hold...
