Great to see that the ride arrived in good condition. I think a TopScan needs indeed 3 trailers.I found some pics of a TopScan convoy on it's way for maintenance at Mondial, you can find them here; http://themepark.nl/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=849156&an=0&page=5#Post849156 I'l...

The fan is for playing with the speed (to let it fall faster or slower or for balance at the top) but it's not the main engine. Eclipse is a giant Top Spin in fact as the gondola can be locked in position or rotate. To be honest, I have to tame this one yet, until now I didn't dare to ride this whit...

It might be a Mondial Capriolo too, as our 'yellow Eclipse' is for sale. But it would surpise me to see ALL our rides that are for sale going to Australia :shock: http://board.themeparkvision.net/showthread.php?t=4826 http://www.amusement-rides.com/home.htm http://www.amusement-rides.com/images/ecli...

Don't forget to bring your pukebag and remember that the outer seat is the place to be :) (and don't forget to lace your shoes) I'm always K.O. for a few hours after riding something like this. http://www.kermismovies.be/Onride/Space_Roller_onride.wmv (from www.kermismovies.be this is the faster mov...

Does anybody know something more about it?

I had to laugh at the extrodinary lengths carnival workers had to go to stop the ride, "they pulled the plug" Yes 10 minutes is unusually long to find the most obvious solution :) I can imagine that 'browsing the manual' is stressing in that situation. However, some types of hydraulic eng...

It would be in America if there wasn't a 'live report' ofcourse... http://video.woodtv.com/vid.player.php?video_id=961 http://video.woodtv.com/vid.player.php?video_id=964 Quite unusual for a motor to run out of control (electrical or hydraulic). As an ingeneer i'm quite intrigued by it. I would be q...

I voted 'undecided' I don't know what story to believe. Indonesia has a huge problem atm (before drugs were mostly only for export) drugs don't only destroy a persons life, it emotionally destroys whole families or even a complete country (see opium wars http://www.wsu.edu:8080/~dee/CHING/OPIUM.HTM ...

I've chosen for another ride: the KMG Aterburner. Because of the; * speed : amazing how the wind blows in your face * airtime : everytime it changes direction * hight : well it's more the 120° that does the trick * easy for the stomach * it easily pulls the crowd and is very popular It beats the Hus...
