Australian Amusement Fanatics

fantastic photos Hurri - thanks for sharing. Yes it sure is an overly complicated design with the lifting element.

The whole lifting "novelty" really does depend on the operator IMHO. Sometimes they don't run it that fast while it's lifting and other times they crank it to full speed. When it's going at full speed I will say it does add some interesting G's to the ride, but each to there own I guess.

great photos, thanks for that hurricane. I haven't been on cyber party but i think the lifting arms look great especially on overseas models, but i also see how you could think that it ruins a classic ride.

IMO it doesn't ruin a classic ride. It just gives it something that is different to anything we have seen in Australia. Sure it works mostly like a standard Breakdance, so you still get that ride sensation. But when it lifts up it's something that we and the general public have not seen on our shores until it was imported, so IMO it's a success really.

Is it popular at the shows?

Very popular, like any breakdance ride is

I don't if its me but i have never seen a breakdance type ride spin this way before.
Is this common or unique?

nothing out of the ordinary.... at least the car motors spin the oposite way to the floor unlike wittingslow's breakdance

Hey Ekkafan03! We already have a travelling Polyp. It's called The Summer Party. You can see a picture of it in the 2 Carnivals & Ekka blog. I would love to see a KMG Discovery in Australaia because it's about time that we had another Top Spin/WipeOut ride! This is what KMG Discovery looks like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSmqZCCmWPk Enjoy!

Hi all long time looker first post. I would love to see the Mondial Heartbreaker (Phoenix) in Aus. Has anyone had the experience of riding.

Welcome, glad you finally took the plunge to add to the forum Coffe

Another few rides I would like to see are:

A Smashing Jump ! It could replace Techno Jump so we get something more thrilling ! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvLv-rOrFR8&feature=plcp

And a ride like this ! Not sure what it is exactly but looks fun ! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eueYEzoVzrU&feature=plcp

Rode the heartbreaker. At the florida state fair in 2008 it was sh** not a good action just sh**

OK we desperately are in need of new Rollercoasters! It'd be epic to have Wilde Maus XXL and Olympia Looping in Australia.

What are your thoughts on having a Pegasus in Australia? Here's the on-ride http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWNS7eiY8Wk
And here's the off-ride http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tj0Vvemx ... ure=relmfu Enjoy

Looks like it would be like the Space Roller. If it is I agree it would be fantastic to ride. I can not wait to go to the EKKA this weekend and ride on the Space Roller.

I just hope that you guys don't have wussy operator. Can't wait until the Melbourne Show!

talkin to someone from watkins amusements and they said that watkins amusements are importing a brand new smashing jump called air maxx will be here for the easter show

If it were possible I'd love to see this!

Most of those rides would be too big to travel here. Wittingslow wanted a HUSS Topspin but it was too big for our roads
