Re: What's happening in surfers

Haven't heard but I'm down there every week at different times and never see people on it. I know Q1 has been down on numbers so I can't imagine they are doing well.
Mind you the tourist season is upon us so it can only do better!

There are 3 big white poles out the front of Wet and Wild I noticed this week. Looks like it could be a Fly Coaster with the two main poles connected and one pole on its own out the back (used as the winch post to pull back the gondola). Could this be the Fly Coaster recently removed from Adrenalin ...

Re: New KMG ride

“The extreme acceleration will give the passengers the feeling as if they are being launched or getting a ‘kick in the back’,” says KMG salesman Peter Theunisz. “Deceleration will give the riders the opposite effect! The "opposite affect" so like being kicked in the front :lol: Holds Crot...

Went down there and spoke to a guy that works there last week. Apparently the Bungy and ParaNoia are moving near Kingston Park Raceway. He didn't know where the Fly Coaster was going but I was on a website the other day (cant remember which) and sure I seen it for sale. He said there was talk of a g...

Re: What's happening in surfers

I can't see how it is going to survive. There is nothing to look at there except the side of buildings. There is also a blacked out VIP car. Would have cost a fortune getting it up there...every piece had to be craned up. http://www.australianamusementfanatics.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=273...

From the couple of showmen I have spoken to they deffinately don't want the way Sydney is run implimented at the Ekka.

Re: eKKA 2010

Log Flume, Water Coaster...same thing. If you take the water away they still work like a roller coaster as all the cars have the wheels in the bottom and sides. On all the drops you are running on the wheels and the water is for looks and to get you wet :lol:
