Re: new KMG Freak Out heading for Australia

Oh boy! I always wanted to try the KMG Freak Out. Lap bars instead of shoulder restraints, that's gonna be freaking fun and awesome! This is definitely a beauty, like so many KMG rides. I hope to see that and the other Huss Rainbow at next year's RES! :D

Re: HUSS Rainbow fan page

That's great.

Don'r get me wrong, the new rides are great. I agree with that, especially counting the rides by Mondial and KMG. We need Rainbow back, though. No cheap knockoff can replace it.

Re: What Rides Do You Hate?

Down with Ali Baba! Any of the A.R.M. rides rot!

Tango was fun for my taste. First KMG ride I went on, and Hard Rock was awesome. I'm beginning to have mixed feelings on Techno Jump, though, cause I felt nauseous went I went on it this year.

Re: 2013 Sydney Royal Easter Show

I doubt next year's RES will be any better. No one's gonna bring back Rainbow at all... :(

The showgrounds have gone downhill since 2009.

HUSS Rainbow fan page

I found a good HUSS Rainbow page on Facebook. Yep, so many fans who appreciate classic rides than these cheap knockoffs that plague the showgrounds today, like the elusive A.R.M. ride.

Re: 2013 Sydney Royal Easter Show

I agree with you, Force10, the ride selection is rather lacklustre, save for having some good rides, but that isn't enough to make a visit at the carnival worthwhile. *sniff* Never forget Rainbow, it's never going to come back. It will be missed... badly... :(

Re: 2013 Sydney Royal Easter Show

Hey guys, back after a long break from AAF, but I feel like going through my thoughts on this year's Sydney Royal Easter Show. I thought it was okay, but the ride lineup hasn't changed one bit from last year, except for Sky Walker not being there. Not even a single ride from O'Neill's was there eith...

Re: Short's Zipper

I've seen pics of Freestyle and Speed, and yes, technically they're both the same ride and by KMG, but they are different variants. While Speed is the standard KMG Speed ride, Freestyle is a slightly compact variant. Henceforth, despite being the same ride by the same manufacturer, the size differen...

Well, your opinion, but we do need some good non-inverting and not-so-extreme KMG rides.

Re: New rides?

Has anyone have any idea on the new HUSS Rainbow we got? I'm hoping it will hit the shows soon as it seems likely that O'Neill's Rainbow is pretty much defunct, shame really, since it would be great if we have two HUSS Rainbows operating over the number of lacklustre A.R.M. Ali Babas. As for the HUS...

Yeah, which is sad really, because if Luna Park carries on with keeping the neighbours happy, I'm afraid that it might eventually die out, just like what happened to Wonderland. :(

Re: Rare Luna Park Sydney 1978 Footage

I remember when Luna Park was such a great amusement park back in 1995 when I was a kid. It's interesting to know what the park was like before I was born, including the first Big Dipper before the Arrow Looper variant now the Cyclone at Dreamworld. Luna Park could do with a bigger coaster to be the...

Re: 2011 Royal Melbourne Show

Oh, so there's a themed Ali Baba named Rockstar. Well, fair enough. Still waiting for Rainbow to make its comeback sooner or later. Hurts the shoulders upsidedown, eh? That's what some riders say about Sky Walker too, but I didn't experience any discomfort on the shoulders or the, uh, during my ride...

How good is Extreme? Is it scary or is it fun? I would like to try it when it hits RES 2012, waiting to try out more rides like XXXL and Speed. No show for Rainbow yet, ah well, hopefully by this summer or around next year it would come back. OCS must still be proud of FEAR to get Rainbow finally ba...

Yeah, but I would appreciate it heaps if they bring back the rainbow, the ali baba has already made a 3 year term at the RES, so it should just stay at other showgrounds. the last thing the RES needs is another cheap HUSS Rainbow clone to take its place only to push the ride further and further away...

Re: ARM Ali-Baba

Yeah, but while newer rides are being introduced, they're cracking down good rides like Huss Rainbow, giving us a lineup of mediocre to crap rides. There's only a few number of good rides, notably the rides by KMG (Sky Walker, Speed, XXXL) and Mondial (Space Roller, No Limit), but it's not the same ...
