Went to the show saturday. Its been 4 or 5 years since ive been and I was rather dissapointed. Reminded me of it back before they revamped it into the hunteriver supershow. Back then it was double the size as to what it is now. Still a few good rides turned up thou. No mega drop, no haunted hotel, n...

Yeah Im going saturday with my daughter. Cant see much from highway, but you can see speed and xxxl set up. Im guessing skywalkers there somewhere, passed it early monday morning parked up at Tamworth. Cant see megadrop anywhere yet. Its normally a regular there. Well has been the times I've been th...

Not to sure about rock n tug TG. Had no company name on it. I did pass it travelling with mega drop
on its way to nelsons bay.

Got back to Nelsons Bay on the weekend. Went and checked osbournes carnival. Lot of Fosters gear more than showtimes gear. All operated by showtime.Not a great deal of people to start with but as the night went on it got busier which was good to see. http://i1017.photobucket.com/albums/af296/BrettBa...

Passed a bit of gear sunday morning heading home from Nelson Bay.
Not shore whats up there. There was nothing there where they do the xmas carnival.
Will be heading back up soon so will check it out and grab some pics.
I passed mega drop, rock n tug and not sure but maybe a part of haunted hotel.

I heard bout this fatal rollover on the uhf. When something happens on a highyway it doesnt take long to hear
bout it. Thoughts to the family, no one wants to see or hear of someone losing a life.Will be missed in the amusement
family and the truckin family.

Well not much to say bout Quirindi Show but sad
No rides, all that was there was half dozen joints, two jumping castles,
a pretty old looking funhouse and a horse o plan.
There was an ex- goldenways food van. Thats bout it, anyone could of took a mechanical ride and
made a killin.

Quirindi shows on today and tomorrow. Not shore whats there, might go down today for a look weather permitting.
Not a very big town so I dont imaging there would be anything great there.

I remember stardancer, only saw it once at Newcastle foreshore years ago. Might of been at Matarah Festival.
No cages on it. Thats last and only time I saw it.

Good pics Dazzeland, not much of a crowd in a few of them. Was it early?
I like the avatar themed gravatron, who owns it?

Or if you read in public forem under newell highway truckcrash, you will find that crazy coaster was in an accident on its way from ekka to adelaide.
One of the b doubles that cart it was involved in a rollover.

I find it easy to travel in a pack when your travelling long distance, theres always someone who wants to chat on the radio. Or
if not as you said princess phone a friend.

If fatigue was an issue in that rollover, I'm surprisesd it happened so early in the night. I'm an overnight truckdriver and the worst time to be on the road is between 3am and sunrise. In truckdriver terms he must of had a noddy. Lets hope the driver makes a speedy recovery along with crazy coaster.

Found and article in todays local paper bout a Newell highway truck crash. It said " The newell highway reopened to motorists early yesterday morning after a truck towing an amusement ride overturned near Station Creek about 11pm on Thursday. The 61-year old driver was taken to Coonabarabran Ho...

My guess would be adelaide show.

Give it time Huss. Im sure rainbow will one day make a return. I can't see them letting it go to waste.

What sort of radius do paviers do? I no there from central coast

I,m no personal fan of the ali-baba, but i do think something new is always good. Guess we will have to wait till Melbourne to compare new to old !

Great photos Kiwi. They reckon today was the busiest day, so far.
