Australian Amusement Fanatics

That'd be the first show that Hard Rock would be operating under new ownership, someone in the Verfuth family has bought it. Think it may be Brad?
Still not a bad lineup for the show

Electro and dub are good if they're playing decent tunes. If any dubstep is played it's usually the same ol' skrillex remix of cinema which is nearly 2 years old...

More than likely if you've had no experience you could be in a ticket box, or maybe on the deck of a ride. Just walk around whilst set-up is happening and ask around

Thanks again god to see photos of Thunderbolt, Rage and Super Jump pre set-up. First I've seen of the Gold mine Coaster. Pretty sure that's L&L Osborne's

They take good pride in their gear, thanks again. Cheers, never hear much about the ride and would love to see it one day. From what I understand its a bit more complex than the ARM rides in the UK, the base rotates aswell? Guessing it requires more than one trailer? Cheers Kiwi Pretty sure it was b...

Thanks for the photos, never seen that Cha before would be interested to know whose that is. Agree with Steve very rarely a small country town show goes for the 3 days, must be well supported by the town

Pretty sure Chaos is still travelling with Gardener's? Insanity is sitting in the owner's yard and same with RollerGhoster sitting at Pickett's yard. Now that Carnevil is now travelling

Guessing that's TPA's Superjump?
Cheers for the photos aswell

Most operators have carnival spots where they've been going to for decades, especially bigger companies which also draw big crowds every year

Cheers for the review Scorpion, agreed I always jump Bell's Thunderbolt when I see it, fantastic ride. Bit odd about the Power Surge crew not taking your glasses, prescription ones I'd usually put in the control booth or you could've put them on the speakers at the back of the deck. If anything they...

Hmmm a football club has rides for a break up, thats new to me!! :) wish it did here!!! Better Amusement's who I work with do some sporting club presentations. We did a fun day for a club in March last year which had Dodgem Track, Round Up, Slide, Rockin' Tug, Crazy Cars and Inflatable. Usually get...

There's a lot more to it then what you would think. Putting plans through to council, getting approval for use, having to pay rent for the land etc. Then you'd need contacts, you need to know showmen and people in the industry. (Showbag operators, food vendors etc) Then getting operators to give up ...

Yeh i signed and commented, every signing counts. Hope there's a good outcome for this

Knew Thunderbolt was a definate return, had a very good show last year. Hope Bell's have another good year with it

It's O'neill's Wave Swinger that always does Melbourne, don't think March's has ever been unless that happened years ago

Great photos thanks for sharing. Love seeing the old rigs towing the trailers, was the Loop brand new or bought used?

Pretty average line-up, think they had more rides last year with the exception of the Taipan.

Would weigh a shitload with the trailer having 4 axles, quite lengthy too take a look at the photos. No need for one, even if it would be the tallest travelling ride in Australia:

Great photos thanks Chris, indeed in good condition and great that Fleur's have kept it that way. Definately an iconic ride in a carnival, miss seeing it at Sydney Show nowadays

Cheers for the photos Kiwi hope you had a good day there. I got there back in November last year and had great day, Buzzsaw definately gives a good thrill

Great detailed photos cheers mate

All the best to John and the workers for a good recovery from the trauma

GUN-wielding bandits forced a carnival rides owner into a car and later dumped him on the side of a highway during a robbery last night. Three men armed with a gun burst into Amusement Hire Services on Wentworth St, Clyde and tied up the business owner, John Phelan, and two staff as they returned fr...

We'll all be dead by then

Great video, was that young's Tilt aswell? Park looks so much better there compared to what it does now. All it is now is just an asphalt heat bowl. Great lineup of rides aswell
