Trav, you been reading past posts on this ride?

I made precisely the same comment in one of my posts on the Force 10 - the thing literally brought tears to my eyes from the amazing wind rush.

If they were there before the park, then I could understand, but you don't openly buy an apartment right behind an amusement park then complain about the noise. That is just ridiculous, and as ludicrous as those idiots who purchase cheap land near an airport then complain about aircraft noise. I onl...

Nebs, yeah well worth the watch for those of us interested... but as I said it could've been better. (and more detailed) I do have it on video, so on the odd chance I find myself possibly in Sydney next year, who knows? perhaps I can give you a copy. Jase - Great stuff, really good option. And I lik...

Melbourne Vs Sydney Luna Park... (on Getaway TV program)

Did anyone else watch this? It was a segment of typical length on Getaway. All n all, I thought it was a pretty shallow report of both parks, in fact they did not show a single section of Melbourne Luna's Scenic Railway, I have a feeling it was not operating that day. What I did like about it was th...

(see below) (Wednesday, January 21, 2004) - Florida state officials have ordered all Cliff Hanger amusement rides identical to the model which malfunctioned at a fair last weekend to be shut down throughout the state. The order was issued based on the preliminary findings of their investigation into...

TOTCYB... what other rides do you suggest? Nah give credit where credit is due... the Rainbow is a superb attraction, especially 'back in the day' - it set a magnificent precident for what top quality, 3 trailer German rides can do. Definately raised the bar. It IS a pitty it has been somewhat negle...

WOW... love what you did with the Rainbow writing... it's such a pitty it's not written like this on the backdrop. Maybe we'll have to give it a re-spray when we own it, Chris?

Actually, my favourite ride is the Chance Turbo, for those of you who don't know.

Ps. Does anyone know what HUSSRainbow's favourite ride is? F#*ked if I know?

PS. Ben I don't suppose you rode the Python Loop at Moomba in Melbourne? I was actually working on a stall that year at Moomba, and rode it a few times.

Ben, I was up in Merrimbula in about 1993 or 4 with my family... and the Diamond Python had been advertised as a new upcoming attraction. I very clearly remember seeing a poster of it in a local shop, and it stated that it was / is being manufactured in Italy, at a cost of more than $720,000. I reme...

I have to agree there... the ToT is truly world-class and unique. I had NEVER experienced such an adrenaline rush as I did when I first rode it... the acceleration is an amazing sensation. It might be the shortest ride at dreamworld... but in my opinion, it's definately the BEST! and worth every bit...
