Australian Amusement Fanatics

That one is owned by Bills Amusements from Gracemere, who I work for occasionally...
So yeah, you will probably see it around a bit Deefa...

I too was shocked, lets hope someone buys it in Aus, and we see it around the place...
No one else buy a lotto ticket so funderstruck wins the jackpot, and buys the ride!!

So what's new with this event? Just under a month to go, a group of us is going from Rocky, but I am doubtful
as I'm going on other holidays in January. Depends if I get really busy in the next 3 weeks... hehe

Scorpion doin work! Great to see it getting around a bit... Great ride...

Ok, so the public forum needs a shot in the arm! hehe
Check out this dodgem track, I reakon I'd be looking for a gear change half way down the straight!! haha

To be quite honest, I wasn't sure if it was either until we saw it in april. That was the first time I saw the Tilt in this neck of the woods too..

Might be a different name, but it sure is a sexy piece of gear! Looks great.

That Super Trooper looks neat too!! Thanks for the pics Gunner!!

It was at Gladstone Harbour Festival this year which was early April I think...

Geez, that might be too far back for me... :) Did they used to take a dodgem track there too? I remember as a kid thinking there was a canvas roof in there and used to crack up cause mum and dad wouldn't pull in when we drove past. Long time ago.. Only remember the Stapylton park carnival, but didnt...

Hey Zamperla, Just had another look... (Now that I can watch it without laughing so hard i miss it) It looked like the bulls were long enough to accommodate 3 or so people???
Once it slowed right down they seemed to jump back on and have another crack...

Hey all, this vid could be an old one you've all seen before... But just incase some havent seen it, here it is... Nice hey... Deefa, you'd remember seeing the turbo in its day set up at the pcyc usually a week or so before our show???? Thats my memory of it as a kid... http://www.youtube.com/watch?...

Now this is taking the old mechanical bull to the next level... haha Check it out...

I think that is the best set of photos i have seen on this site to date... nice work...
Not sure about line ups in the past, but this looked to be a pretty bad ass line up to me!
Shame it didnt have the feel around the place you guys have spoken about, great reviews too.

haha, see only a ford body could hold in your mates holden power... hehehe....
Good luck with the project anyways, better you than me having a holden hand grenade between your legs!

Agreed Deef, I thought it was a beaty when it come this way. Shame we havent seen it since...
It looked fairly complex to piece together,,, anyone know how long it takes to set up??

I thought the same thing, looked cool, but it looks like each one operates differently on the videos i saw. Some of the cycles look pretty wild, and most others looked pretty slow and uneventful. Still a wild piece of gear though.

Least ya won't need a restraint with a dirty old holden engine! hehe Luckily dodgems aren't that fast so the holden engine was a good choice....
Never thought I'd be bagging holden guys on this site!!! haha...

Great pics mmk!!! Superbowl lives! yay

Excellent video Huss! Great pics too. Looks like a top show

Those are some awesome show dates. Love the Friday night opening!! Good luck Aussie...

Nice work again gunner, the pics are great... Your ride is looking great itsfun, doing a great job by the looks of things!

Haha, well if he doesn't tell, I hope you are good for a back up itsfun!!!!!

nice work chacha! Cant wait for some pics. I'm not making the Goldy trip this year unfortunately, have fun guys...

I noticed alot of those games are in 20 and 40 ft containers... Do these stay there, or do the showmen own these and bring them in containers? First time I'd seen them set up like that so not sure. Also, now that its all done and dusted, does anyone know for sure that money and patrons was down this...
