Australian Amusement Fanatics

there is Flahertys, one owned by a brisbane company partytime, and coney fair also have one, plus spider, not sure of others

well i made it to the ekka on tuesady afternnon, was a poor crowd, but a good time for me to go on rides, had a go at: Chaos: got a cheap go on this, i thought it looked scary but wasnt to bad, just an enjoyable ride, ride cycle couldve been longer, 7/10 Sky view: really enjoyable ride with great vi...

i think it will be a pain in the bum for all showmen if they move the date, as most go south right after ekka

mega drop is up at ekka for sure

the hollywood drive track would do real well at ekka as well, how many tracks will be at ekka, or how many was there last year?

yeh i know the Trindalls live in brisbane, my brother in law lives around the corner from them, i hope to ride it soon

can anyone tell me when cyber party wil be back in brisbane, or if it will be at Ekka, i am yet to ride it

what would you consider to be your top 5 favourite travelling rides in australia?

id have to go:

Hard Rock
Space Roller
Miami
kamikaze / shockwave
Mega Drop

i like the weightless feeling, spin rides do my head in (although the twin flip was a rush)

i think its 3 for the structure, not sure how many for the gondolas

australian roads arent as busy, but thay arent as good either, i dont now the reason for the rules, i hope the owners of the wheel find a way to transport it easily other than getting a new permit every time they want to move it

good to hear the show doing well

you could come up early for ekka and go to both shows

what direction are you coming from, its pretty easy to find

last year redcliffe only had a free gate till 4pm, but it seemed to work really well this year. as for some advertising, it might cost, but you have to spend money to make it, i was thinking more along the lines of cheaper rent or part of the rent to advertising, obviously, both the society and the ...

hopefully the rides do well, its the only way more rides will attend in the future

i wanted to attend caboolture show this year as its my local show, and i thought my rock wall would do good, but it seems as though no one did alot, if im asked to go back i will, simply to support the show. as for advertising, i dont see alot around town, they do alot more here to promote the urban...

thanks baloon man.

no i dont remember any permanant tracks, unfortunately i havent been in the industry for that long (12 years tops, and most of those years we only had small equipment)

i hope Ekka this year is a good show for operators, id love to have ride ride that is capital worthy one day

i wish i had of known it was for sale, it would be the perfect ride for what i do, the para trooper simply takes to long to put up

trindalls sizzler was sold to someone south, so it probably is it

the skeleton of the sky master wheel is up, when i seen it from a distance, i thought it was the big wheel, and i got very excited, hopefully it gets some of brisbanes people excited, and they support the show this year

some rides are already on the grounds, was to cold to see what they are

the big wheel will be at ekka as well, in the small ekka ride area, i wonder how durkins wheel will stand up

what is a fly with me ride?

i cant wait to ride it

made it to the show tonight, was pretty busy, got to ride: shockwave, i found this to be a good fast ride, i was gonna go a second time, but i didnt want to wait, Reece made the right choice when he bought this hurricane, wasnt a real long ride, but it was fun music trip, just wanted to compare our ...
