Thanks for the posts guys.... its nice to hear that Star Dancer will be remembered, when i heard they put cages on it, i didnt like them doing it because it probably wasnt a good idea, maybe thats why no one likes it anymore and why we dont see it at any of the shows, i just hope oneday it will make...

Hi everyone went to the Noosa Country Show in Pomona and not much showed up but there were 2 rides that i liked there!! Here's a ride lineup list of what rides and sideshows that i saw today (Saturday) Shockwave Flaherty's Octopus Haunted House, looks like a small version one... Dayton's Dodgem Cars...

Noosa Country Show is on from Today, its a 2 day show... sounds small but yeah, i might visit it tomorrow (Saturday) to see what rides and sideshows showed up???

Thanks for the photos Zamperla... all i remember of this ride was a black pole and lights on it and a aussie flag on it, i actually didnt ride it because i was young when it showed up at Gympie a few years ago, i think it was 2002 or 2004 or between that i think... but yeah cant remember it much.. i...

Hi, a few weeks ago the muster was on here near Gympie... I heard there was a ride out there some one from DDS Amusements was running it does anyone know who this company is and where its from?? Theres a link to the paper site where they talk about the ride and the muster below http://www.gympietime...

Still wonder where the Star Dancer is these days, i dont think it will make an return because of other major family and thrill rides that go to the shows these days... i been trying to find some pics of it but i see not many people take pics of that ride, its like its a very rare ride, its only been...

Hi Kiwi thanks for the photos of that ride, and yeah its very similar to ours here in Australia, it looks like the one i saw a few months ago at a show (carnival) south of me the rides called "FreeStyle" it looks very similar to that one, just that the colour is more darker looking than ou...

Hmmm.... sounds nice TP, is Penrith a Big show??

would anyone know or tell of website or send to me videos of Extreme Speed when its running with people on it on day and night videos????

does anyone know if that new ride called Extreme will be doing the north run for QLD next year or will it stay south???

anyone know where DiskO is heading to next and will DiskO make another apperance at Gympies Show next year in May?????

okay so that was only last year, thats pretty recent, but i just wonder where it is now???

i know i shouldnt chat about something else on this post but i just found out that a BIG wheel is set up at the Gympie Muster now, a few people said to me that there is a BIG wheel out there set up i think its Davis's one, the one that showed up at my show (Gympie) last May???

okay, thanks.. ive only seen that ride at my show probably the same year you's said, i remember seeing when i was young one year a big tall black pole with the Aussie flag on top of it and had a few carrages on it, and i think the pole was all light bulbs on it, now these days i have no idea where i...

Does any one remember a ride called Star Dancer???
Does any one know whats happening with it these days??

awesome photos there of EKKA, your a great photographer, im one of them when my show is on here, i love taking pics of rides and when they set up and stuff, and yeah i see theres alot of bad comments on the EKKA page, it looks bad and i was actually going to it but i decided to go to other country s...

Hmm, sounds interesting have another Ali-baba... Ali-baba should so come to Gympie, QLD show for years to come if thats the case unless its only traveling the south run not the north run, the ali-baba that runs the north run doesnt come to our show anymore, i like to see that ride again, i wish it c...

also do any of you's know if anyone has jobs that only run when a show is on, cause im looking for a bit of work, and its only on when we have our show here in Gympie next year, i would really like some work, and know how things work and would love to be trained????

if its not any trouble would someone be able to post a ride lineup that is there at the EKKA this year??? thats if you have already been to it this year and know whats there in rides???

Okay, at least Kamikaze showed up if thats the case thats good i guess for a small show, but yeah that sounds bad about the show in the future with people not coming to surport it, but isnt there a festival earlier in the year that happens and has alot of rides that show up in Gladstone...???

I would of but i... dont think i would make it, since i live down in the Gympie Region and that i work today... but if i had a chance i would love to see that show...

is Gladstones show big or very small? do they have good rides that show up? and how many days does it go for??

i cant believe that they replaced the great old HUGE wheel for the one i get here at my show, i was looking forward to having a ride on that one year in the future, i havent had a chance to go on that and i wish i did, hopefully it will be back next year, but then i hear it wont be the same for at l...

awesome thanks PNC for the update on EKKA, its looking good in rides so far to me.... keep us updated???
