Australian Amusement Fanatics

*facepalm* Why do we need another ARM Ali Baba? Probably giving the organisers more incentive to not bring back Rainbow. The joys of amusements are completely ruined nowadays. It's not the same as it used to be.

That Mission Space looks somewhat thrilling. It's much bigger than the Sky Flyer, I must say...

financial risk? HUSS have made a fix for the arm, Klinkerfuss is running their MILLENIUM fine (for months now) and so is AntibesLand in France, as is FLEUR (also in france) Rainbow is a far bigger money earner than FEAR and RANGER combined... Thanks for backing up my argument, Huss. It's really an ...

Let's face it. Shows, carnivals and fairgrounds aren't as wonderful as they used to be.

Ok. Fair enough. I'm just saddened to hear the Rainbow won't return to the showgrounds anymore. Shame, really.

Ok, here's my letter for DeafShow to give to Garry O'Neill To the manager of OCS Dear Mr. O'Neill Rainbow is a classic ride and should never be left out in the dust. Why are you doing this? I know you''re concerned with late attractions like the SBF Visa Tower Coaster Fear, but come on. That ride is...

Good review, Huss, and great photos. Hoping for better rides in 2012's RES too.

Yeah. Fear was originally named Cool n Fresh during it's shifts in Holland before being shipped to Australia. Other than that, it's the biggest lemon I ever saw. Hope Rainbow will make its return next year. That should mean that after this year's RES, it's the last we'll ever see Ali Baba. Well, it'...

But since it broke down a couple of times at the RES, I doubt it would come back for next year.

Having ridden both Mondial and KMG rides, I don't think I could tell the two manufacturers apart unless I was told as the rides are so similar. Mondial has the distinctive fences around the rides. Notice how the fences of Space Roller look just like the fences of No Limit and the Sky Wheel located ...

Well, I kinda considered KMG to be the Huss of Holland, because their visual and style kinda reminds me of Huss in so many ways. Mondial has a style that is different from Huss as it teeters more into super-intense rides. However, to ride one of Mondial's rides is to be acquainted with Huss and KMG ...

You've forgot to name the Swinger, that looks like another good Mondial ride. But I agree with Tayz here. Mondial's rides are very well-designed and the quality is top-notch, though I prefer KMG's rides. Not only are the quality of the rides as good as Mondial, their visual appeal thanks to the well...

Yeah. Fear is the worst roller coaster ever made. It's basically a vertical hill and a loop. Even worse when it tends to break down.

Rainbow has always been my favourite Huss ride. I've also ridden all the Huss rides in LPS. They're just excellent rides.

Thanks Huss.

Mondial's pretty good. I considered Huss, KMG, and Mondial to be the best thrill ride manufacturers today. Like I mentioned before in my review, KMG is the Dutch equivalent to Huss. Can't wait to check out your review, dude.

Thank you all for your positive comments. I had fun writing this review as much as I had fun at the RES. Sorry Zamperla, I didn't bring a camera that day. :( Space Roller and Sky Walker were the one of the few rides I haven't tried before, so I'm glad I finally got a chance to ride those two rides a...

Hey there, it's RexDragon, and after a big day at the 2011 Sydney Royal Easter Show, it's time for my review, so here goes: I found it disappointing that the ride lineup of the 2011 RES remained the same as last year's, with the exception of the Disk-O coaster being the newest addition. Though nowhe...

Tomorrow's the day I'm going to the RES! May not have a couple of my favourite rides like Rainbow, but nonetheless, it should be fun. Expect a review from yours truly, RexDragon, tomorrow evening.

Oh, and Topgunner, if I go on the Power Surge and see you operating the ride, I'll say hello.

I'll be going to the Royal Easter Show on the 19th during the day. Fun, fun, fun!

This isn't the Rainbow we know and love. It's just a Rainbow-themed A.R.M. Ali Baba which we don't need cause Australia's already got two of those lousy contraptions.

Well, it won't be hard for them. After all, they did put in the Double-Armed Ranger and Fear coaster on last year, so...

I live close to Campbelltown, so I would like to see the Rainbow make an appearance at this year's Fisher's Ghost.

Really? That's great! When it's ready, please ask them to have it appear as a holiday ride at LPS!

I've yet to see a Waltzer here in Australia. The only rides I have been on close to the Waltzer are the Spider at LPS, and the show-travelling Break Dance.

Weclome to AAF! You used to work on Rainbow? That's just awesome.
