Is on this week-end the 9th & 10th September at the Cleveland Showgrounds The ride line looks like this: ZIPPER - Australia's Meanest Zipper HURRICANE DODGEM CARS CYBER PARTY A variety of other family & kiddies rides, games and displays from the local area. I'll be there each day of the fest...

Wouldn't it be fun working for these ride manufacturers? I suppose you'd have to possess a good imagination although manufacturers tend to copy one another. I reckon the best job would be a ride tester if such a job exists... Getting on something that has just been built and smelling so new would b...

I hear one Park with a Rainbow is going to crash there's to scrape metal in the US just after the end of the year

Here we are members lets VOTE on the new design of the forum?

I just noticed on themepark.nl that Hoefnagels 'SpaceRoller' (Mondial TopScan) should also be moving to Australia? http://themepark.nl/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=809522#Post809522 Does anybody know something more about it? Well folks it has arrived at Melbourne Port for Russel Watkins ...

I sold it to Johnny Castle so be very careful on what you say

My sources tell me that force 10 is still in Pinks yard, but in truth they had not heard anything either for quite sometime. Aaron's Force 10 is currently on the road in Victoria doing shows. Saw it operating at Swan Hill & Sheparton just recently. It is currently on the market and will be list...

Yes Dave, 2 trailer unit coming out from Boston Mass. the guys who are looking at it are currently in the USA and I will have further details next week when we get together to organise the shipping etc.

Just to go further on the NEW Rides coming into Australia Zamperla have a new ride coming in a couple of weeks being previewed at the AALARA Conference, Moser are bringing in a new Ride, SBF Visa will have a new ride here in Late June/ early July there is a Chance Sea Dragon on its way here as well ...

I cannot believe someone suggested it would be better to incorporate some sort of upside down element to the Rainbow, I firmly dissagree. If you want this, ride Hang Over. The Rainbow (and its other imitators) will always remain more graceful and popular than Chance's Invertor (which I think you ar...

I'd just like to inform everyone a new ride has made it to Sydney and no one even knew. A new kamikaze type ride was brought to oz called shockwave by Better amusement hire. It looks nice and it is a very quiet ride. Cheers OZ Oz, Peter ordered the rides back in March/April 2004 from Fabbri and als...

Probably. I was asleep when I got his call so I can't remember his name. :roll: Any idea why it isnt here yet? - Vee Probably still being manufactured some of the larger rides can take up to 6 months to build and by sea it is on average 35 days from port to port, also depends when the order was rec...

Vee, you been talking to Nick at CEC that's been on the books with him since October last year.

What would you do Chris if the pin broke that hold the door closed on the Zipper Ride? I can just image what you would do... give Trav a break he is only saying how he feels.

fk the parks i say, im all for the transportables :D Well it just happens to cause that when a company prepares to introduce a new ride onto the world market, they just happen to design it as a Park Model upon any success it is then redesigned as a Road Model. Park Model vs Road Models well Park mo...

Let's take a look at it... Wonderland when it was in operation is a good example of a Park that got it wrong.... Many comments have come to me why it closed the fact is really the Park was not supplying the Trills and Other Ride enterainment for their consumers. In the life of the whole park they (T...
