A few rides I'd like to have imported into Australia!

An Eyrely Loop-O-Plane (though I think I did see one years ago)
Image

A Franck Hubretz Paratrooper (they go much slower than our own ones!)
Image

A Wisdom Tornado (ideal for smaller fairs)
Image

And I don't know what this ride is, but it's rider operated!

Yeas Tony Smans has/had a Loop O Plane (was for sale)

Im sure Smarts had a Tornado on their website awhile ago. Its not on there now though.

Tony sold his 'side winder' loop-o-plane to a guy in NZ. I too would've liked to have ridden it. By all accounts it was a good little ride and a good earner.

I'd like Australia to have a KMG Experience and Technical Park Heavy Rotation. I've seen videos of them and they look both fun and intense. I would also like to see a Mondial Swinger.

I have no idea. You'd probably get away with towing it with a normal V6 vehicle, but I'm only guessing.

Yeah it ended up touring the east coast capital shows for a season. Pretty sure it was brought out here under lease between an Aussie and US showmen. I think it was around 1994.

Yeah that sounds about right when I would have gone on it and I did only see it the 1 year. I only went on it as I remember seeing them in old school US movies.
