Re: Early 80's Pictures

Most of those Commers are still parked in the sheds, thankfully none on the road at the moment. The Loop was brand new, I believe a number of parts where made in NZ and finished off here.

Unfortunately can't make it to EKKA this year but plan to spend a week on the Gold Coast from 17th-24th July. Wondering if anyone knows of any shows / events where I could see a few rides?

Re: Photos of Faller Rides

A few pics of the ones I have recently built, had a lot more growing up but have since fallen apart in storage. I enjoy making them but normally run out of patience trying to do all the small parts. But at least it fills in my nights during the off season. http://i1132.photobucket.com/albums/m572/pa...

Re: 2011 Perth Royal Show (October 1st-8th)

NZ's Super Loop was purchased new from the States in the early 80's so has always been here. Presume they are reffering to a Roller Coaster.

Re: Videos Of Extreme Speed from any show!

If thats the case don't head South. Mahons haven't done the show in over 7 years, so you won't be seeing the Super Loop or Turbo Boost back there anytime soon.

Your always welcome on this side of the ditch.
