Australian Amusement Fanatics

Sounds like it was a good show, looking forward to photos

Funny you should say that, when I was at RES, I was thinking that Rock n roll was going super fast, my thought was it was faster than any other of these similar rides, so now you have said that my own opinion is hell yeah Have you ridden it though. I think it's FREAKING INSANE!!!!! Apparently it do...

But that's one part of the thrill of it though, standing up and being held in just around your waist and shoulders. Awesome ride, always gets me seeing stars

Welcome Extreme and thanks for the review aswell. Sounds like not a bad line-up shame with the weather, yeh I rode Extreme Speed at Sydney and it seemed to give a better ride than Freestyle from the last time I rode it. Was talking to one of the workers and he said that Speed operates just a tad fas...

Crazy would be the word

I'm certain OFA always owned Splash Canyon

I don't think I hate any rides either. I always give everything a go once and then just pick the ones I like best next time I'm at the carnival or amusement park. The only ride I could say I disliked was the Scorpion and even then it was one particular ride as I have had good times on it too. Not l...

Luna Park ruined that Huss Breaker and tame it down so much of what it's capable of. Shame it runs nowhere near as fast as what they do overseas...

Wouldn't say i hate any ride... I find Energy Storm uncomfortable, last time I rode the harness' really dug into my legs. Ali Baba's are boring, would rather a Music Trip any day over them. I find Hard Rock to be one of the best rides travelling, awesome sensation of weightlessness and always have a...

Not in any order:

Insanity
No Limit
Space Roller
Sky Walker
Hard Rock
Extreme
Thunderbolt
Hurricane
Freestyle
Young's Cha or Tilt-a-Whirl

WHy would he? Don't think Michael Wittingslow would have any intentions of buying back into the latest machines and having them on capital shows. That's now a thing of the past, I could never see them buying anything spectacular nowadays

Bit of a shame these 2 classics have gone to parks where they won't be kept upto top condition like their previous owner's did. Also interesting to see in the background of the photo's the ex-OFA Skymaster in the background of the photos, minus the top signs. Not that it will be missed wasn't in the...

Is their Hurricane still in Australia? Such a massive operation they had and all quality rides too

Cheers for the photo's Steve! Yeh definately March's Whizzer, artwork on the cars looks great. Hopefully the rest of the ride's structure will be blended in sometime soon

Thankyou Princess

All in a day's work, cheers Ben

Top Gun was built in 1993, only know that cause it's the same age as me

I'm pretty sure the Power Surge has made it's way up to Qld, has done Ipswich the past few years so possibility it could be there

It is back-breaking work as you can see

Just about everything was manufactured at A.R.M U.K. While Chant's Rockstar was manufactured in the U.S.
There's photos of most of the rides scattered all over the forum

I even made it onto the small screen in this one

I think TPA's Extreme may be attending...

Kamikaze's:
Hangover (Cetek Amusement's)
Skymaster (OFA Showstar)
Top Gun (Amusement Hire Service's) (John Phelan)

Ali Baba's:
Rockstar (Chant's Amusement's)
Super Nova (Amusement Services I think) (Robert Crowley)
x3 Ali Baba (Gill Bros Entertainment, Girdler's, Stratton's)

Think that's it...

Looks awesome, gotta admit how much more classy, elegant and perfected a Rainbow looks over an Ali Baba
