Australian Amusement Fanatics

my paratrooper was also there, we didnt do very well, the organisers didnt really think much about where they put us

ABC fun rides is run by Heather and Graham Barker, they have some other equipment as well

KAY DEE promotions is run by Micheal Thomas, he also has an avalanche (music trip) and a majestic built dodgem track along with other smaller rides as well

yes that is right, his sizzler has a full loading deck and can be set up on an angle when the wheels are taken out, it was imported by tony smanns in SA, i believe it is wisdom built

the sizzler listed as mine is owned by my brother at affordable rides, the Geesman *possible wrong spelling* family also have a cha cha and party time amusements also have one with a full deck and ABC fun rides have a scrambler and so does KAY DEE promotions, there is also one in the rocky area that...

i do some local regional shows with the ride, it is hard when you have no ground of your own.

that is right, i own the ex pinks para trooper, does anyone have any pictures of it in its former glory when pinks had it?

anyone have pictures of TPA's big track, i remember seeing it at melbourne show a few years ago, i was amazed at the size of it for a fold up track, how many loads is it?

no price listed, o well, i would ask if i thought i could afford it LOL

is it just me or is the site not working now, what was the asking price?

i thought pinks track all folded out, but it looks like i am wrong, i would love to see more of how it is put up, to me it is one of the best rides around simply due to the size and how shiny it is still, they do a very good job of presenting it

is the ferris wheel still not operating? i was there about a year ago and it looked finished but was not open yet, i thought the place was great for kids, but i do agree, a thrill ride would be great but unlikely

im pretty sure that i heard that Halloween was sold, not sure if it was true or who it went to, just a rumour that i heard.

looks like a good show

Pfft no way it's worth $20. Keep the price at $15, don't go boosting it up at a show it's never been to before to rip off customers because they don't know the normal price. I just can't see why operators boost their prices up. Keep them cheaper, you'll get more riders then they would probably earn...

not the same person top gunner, this bloke just came up and started talking to me on a job site, was interesting to hear about the shows over there

i had an english showmen try and sell me one of these not long ago, it looked great in the video he showed me, i didnt ask for a price

what is the free fall that oneill's have?

Adelaide is like its own little world, with an unknown waveswinger and various other rides (i never thought there was a majestic track in australia)

great photos huss, who owns that wave swinger? it doesnt look like what i remember of marchs, oniels or show wests, but i could well be wrong

ive only ridden NL once and they did locked the gondola in, it was probably the most intense ride i have been on, SR is alot more enjoyable. and i think there is a reason they dont let the cars go for the full cycle on XXXL, i think OZ can explain it.

NL is way more intense than SR, i would put XXXL in the same class as SR

personally i think XXXL is only worth $10, i understand with speed it only fits 8 riders and loading time is a bit longer, nut xxxl is simultaneous loading and 12 riders, this to me would easily justify $10 rides, but then again i wasnt the one to outlay so much money to bring one of the latest ride...

that sounds like exactly what i was told, one of my staff used to work the rage for Lew, also the haunted mansion, now haunted hotel

who owns this track?

yeh thats sounds about right from what i remember, and the more sodium you add the faster it goes (for some reason i thought i was told salt)

im sure i was told that the rage used to have some sought of weird drive system, cant remember exactly what it was, but it did use water some how
