Greetings Shaun..if I remember correctly you're from Sale or the surrounding area right? (or used to be)..been a fair while since I 've seen a post from you. Yeah,I'd like to know what happened to the Matterhorn..it was never one of my favourites,but it just seemed to disappear around 4 or so years ...

This is VERY exciting news Jason.I just watched the Energy Rush video on Moser's site..it looks pretty good.I particularly like the way the seats are constantly flipping for the entire cycle..but I would personally much rather see the KMG Inversion/Dominator come to Australia.The added thrill of the...

Bit of a sad lineup if thats all thats comin! I wouldn't say sad SRF..like I said,at least one more major would've been good,but our midway isn't huge,it is a country show after all,and Sale seems to clash with at least one other Victorian show every year.One thing that annoyed me about this year i...

No Mega Drop,it's usually here by now...it's probably at Colac.Nothing else arrived today,this is probably all for this year.Would've liked at least one more major..oh well.

2008 Sale Show (Review,pics and videos added)

Some gear has started to show up..mostly Bells.Most of it was probably at Maffra Show yesterday.Maffra is a small country town around 15 k's from Sale.I remember my sister taking me to Maffra Show around 15 years ago,and there were no majors there..just a few joints and kids rides,but in the last 8 ...

Yeah,great to see Twin Flip at some Vic. shows.Lets hope we see it around more,I miss it.Have to admit I would be a bit indecisive about riding it after the S.A incident though.

This ride is in my top ten all time favourites.I really hope another Aussie with a passion for this ride buys it,gives it a re-furb,and travels it more. http://img397.imageshack.us/img397/5634/force10jb8.jpg http://img397.imageshack.us/img397/1883/force10bez9.jpg http://img397.imageshack.us/img397/1...

Thankfully no serious physical injuries..hopefully none of the riders come away from this incident with post traumatic stress disorders.Sounds as though most of the riders were very young,kids can be pretty resiliant.I wonder how this will reflect on Mahons Amusements,they seem to be New Zealands bi...

Orbitor isnt as bad as it looks..I'm sure you would enjoy it Hurricane,particularly if you have no trouble with No Limit or Zipper.

I'm guessing this is a rather small show?.Waroona's show society must think they have hit the jackpot with such a new massive ride attending..while a royal like Melbourne cant entice it to show up in Vic.Hmmm..kinda sad and amusing at the same time.

Just to clarify PNC,I meant it was second hand info by way of me,not you.
Do you know who he sold it to..was it another Victorian?.

I found Scorpian very boring..I prefer to watch rather than ride it.I don't think the new owners operate it very well..not as fast,and it doesn't go backwards anymore.

Regarding the sale of Hurricane...I got the info from this forum,so it's second hand info..not sure how accurate it is..and don't remember who posted it either.Scorpion will almost definitely be at Shepp.,I hope it doesn't show up at Sale this year..would rather see Ali Baba,or even better,Spaceroll...
