So far Mega Drop, Mixer and Crazy Dancer are going to be the rides booked in for Rye this year, so far am I correct? They can't fit anymore in can they? I say this because last year they had only three holiday rides booked last year.

What do you mean 3 holiday rides? Last year was Breakdance, Pirate, Hurricane, Mega Drop, Midnight Madness, Cha Cha, Big Wheel, Dodgems. They'll have enough room. You'll have those 3 rides mentioned then Witt'z gear then I'd say John Phelan's gear

I mean three rides that are not owned by witts top gunner, last year these were Hurricane, Mega Drop and Midnight Madness. Lookin at them again I forgot that the wheel went. It looks like it is going to be a good carnival, it still needs a Zipper though. Will Verfurth's Wheel be there again?

SR Freak, yes it will include all rides there regardless of who owns them. It's well worth getting down there, maybe take a tent and camp in the nearby caravan park with some mates? Always good along the coast during December / Jan.

I'm very pleased to read new rides Crazy Dancer and Mixer are booked. The first thing I will do is buy a ticket to ride Mixer. I'm glad Witts are varying the rides a bit, I think this has been instigated by the council's requesting some variation.

It's right on the foreshore (no more than 50 metres from the ocean) and one of the larger main public camp grounds starts about 300 metres from the carnival itself. Ocean, pub close by, fishing, carnival, plenty of nice ladies, what more could a bloke want?

Not much more than that Zamperla. Thanks for that info, i'm seriously thinking about going but I will have to convince my parents. I don't think my parents would let me go with some mates, because i'm only 15 years old.

I would not let you go either Space Roller, :oops: then on the other hand you could always suggest that they would enjoy camping too, then bring your mates.

Yeh it is John Castle's, ex-Watkin's. And Johnson's Hard Rock will be at Foster/Tuncurry along with Pink's gear, not at Narrabeen this year

I have been tipped off that Insanity might be at Coolangatta this year. I was speaking to someone that said they saw something very much like the Vomatron racked up near there. I'm not 100% if it's accurate or not, but I will try and find out for you. It does make sense if it doesn't go to Narrabeen, as Phill Durkin's company is based at Burleigh Heads. This would also explain why I saw Insanity heading north last week.

Wow! Pirate is looking so much better! I'm glad Wittingslow have spent the money fixing it up. Maybe once they get a bit more money BreakDance might get a re-paint and overhaul again. Pirate needed it more. Thanks for the pics.
