Saw the following rides at the 2011 Adelaide Fringe grounds: Skydiver Kamakaze Cha-Cha Kiddie Rides Nearmap view from last year: http://www.nearmap.com/?q=Fringe%20Sideshow%20Alley@-34.921478,138.613662&ll=-34.921489,138.613392&z=19&t=k&nmd=20100216 EDIT: Here's a pic of the Cha-Cha!...

No time for jokes!

Can you provide a link to where the dollys are for sale?

Swinger is hauled by a prime mover, the kingpin sits at the top of the tower, can't see it in the photo above as it's on the other side of the tower. Joyland's Chair O Plane is hauled by a pickup truck with the conventional towball and hitch. I'll get a photo of it racked next time I see it Hi guys...

Haven't heard of Elwin.

I think the Swinger is hauled by a truck as it has a kingpin and not a conventional hitch.

Well, maybe next time.

More pics of the Swinger please! I'd like to see it racked with it's tow vehicle too!

Are the dolly's drawbars hinged?

Great pics!

More pics of the fair pleaz!

Like those hubcaps! Does this mean it came from Scandanavia or Europe?
More pics pleaz!

Can anyone take pics of it arriving in the docks and being modified for Australian road use?

And what if HUSS went out of business, for example, after an infamous lawsuit about Liseberg's Rainbow?

Thanks for the pics too!

Any pics of the zipper packed?

I think they did. Only melted the plastic.

It was the prime mover.

So that's why I haven't seen Chaos for a long time! When did the incident occur?

More pics of our pairs please!
