Australian Amusement Fanatics

gee great audio. Beats using an exercise machine in a gym though

I never did get to go to it but have often wondered whose Grav it was they had inside, anyone know? Also what year did it close? Deafshow, is it on a site near a Fantastic Furniture store? Every time I drive past I wonder if that was where it used to be.

I must've seen a Tilt with a roof on it in the 1990's and mistaken it for a Waltz. Tayz surfin' the boards on a Tilt (or Waltzer) is one of the un-official perks of the job - flicking those cars with your hand at just the right time to give unsuspecting riders some serious G's Officially... Nope, ne...

Tayz l always thought you were a girl. sorry if you're a bloke. feel free to clear the matter up.

The original photo Tayz had was the ARM one then she changed it to a HUSS one.

The Limit, is that Majestic track Verfurth's newly imported one?

I forgot it was April Fools - nice job there Tayz, you're excused, only day of the year you could get away with it

here's a clue (not actual ride)

This is gonna be a hit - one of the fastest thrill rides ever built - due to debut very very shortly...

Yeah I remember when the HUSS Ranger was at Luna park Melbourne (1992-1993) was great. I paid for an unlimited ride handstamp, and hardly left the ride my whole day.

agreed, very thorough and easy to read!

Yes you can't beat the way some of those Asian parks are run - plentiful staff, and leading-edge rides by the sound of it. I rode The Mummy ride at Universal Hollywood a couple years ago - was a great dark-ride coaster experience.

I am not 100% if it was Durkin who had it originally, I have a feeling it came from WA, possibly under Crowley within 6 months of Durkins buying it. Yes there were many issues with the first one, it was one of the first off the Chance production line - numerous problems including faulty floor pannel...

There was also one in QLD, I can't remember much about this SA one, I think it was a small town.

Only ever been the one Chaos operating (Durkins) though Chance Mfg have delivered 2 (first delivery was a total lemon and was swapped under warranty)

Great Wipeout photos. Interesting to see the modified trailor extension

Nice vid Dell. Gibbo I'm surprised you thought it was a bit of a yawn. I've ridden it once before in USA and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Happy to read the new Disk-O will be making its first Victorian appearance - who will be the first to review it? Lots of Disk-O photos and video please (HUSS-R that is directed mainly at you)

good stuff HUSSR. I am away for most of the weekend but am hoping to get there for the last day on Monday.

Are you going to be in Alexandra Gardens or on the Birrung Marr side?

This coming weekend it's all happening in Melbourne with the traditional Labour Day Moomba weekend. Fingers crossed for some better weather this year (it couldn't be worse than last year that's for certain)

Who's going? Who's working it? What rides will be there? Post all comments and photos here

Agreed!

Dazzleland - nicely done with the photos you did good (especially getting the nameplate of the Chance Trabant 'Wipeout') From the serial number I can just notice it appears to be a 1971 model. I'm jealous of you seeing it, did you jump on for a ride? Definitely a ride we could do with more of. Hurri...

I expected the Hurricane to be Hamilton's (not March's) strange.

Welcome aboard! Good to have you here. look forward to reading your contributions.

The electrocution of an employee was not a HUSS (it was a 'fake' Ali-Baba rainbow) unfortunately even industry insiders, are under the impression it happened on a HUSS one. Here's a photo of it.

wow interesting photos. chopped right up. poor rainbow. Was a very well maintained one too. Would have had all the updates to the lower arm.
