Re: What ever happened to...

If you are referring to Shorts Orian / Enterprise that came over to New Zealand many years ago, currently in a Storage.
I think that Super Loop is in a yard in Sydney.

Luna Park

Had a quick visit to the park.
Has the Huss UFO that was on top of the building being scrapped? Looking at down at it look a lot like gas holes.

Re: Coca-Cola Easter Show 2014

Not Mahons, not sure on who exactly. The weather and temperature didn't help it, but it was at the Parachute Music Festival in Summer where it was a big hit with the campers

Coca-Cola Easter Show 2014

Mahons Amusements where back at the 2014 show, with Free entry to the event even the bad weather couldn't keep good crowds away. In all I think it was a success for everyone involved.

Gold Coast area shows

Looking for suggestions on shows on between 17th May and 25th May while I am on Holiday in the Gold Coast. Will have a car to travel but trying to find a event with a reasonable carnival area.
Many thanks

Drove past last night Ferris Wheel looks bright, but not next to a main road. Slide had been started on, but not much had changed since last week. http://i1132.photobucket.com/albums/m572/pam1441/Eastershow/0711280x768_zps24709bd3.jpg http://i1132.photobucket.com/albums/m572/pam1441/Eastershow/06712...

Re: Auckland Easter ???????

Will be interesting to see what arrives, and how much each ride is, not much info on the Show's page. Heard Ex Cookie Bear factory now a nice looking Ghost Train, and presume the Hurricane is coming up from the South.
