Thanks for the photos. Didn't think Insanity was going anywhere over Xmas. Didn't hear of anything while I was at the V8's. Looks like a good little carnival. Don't see why Woodall didn't take up either Chaos or the Claw either

thanks for those Dell! Yes interesting that Woodalls wheel is the only one of his rides there. Chaos seems to be retired now (with a for sale sign on it)

Here's a bit more Rye, from today, the 22nd

PIRATE is looking even more amazing in the blazing sunlight, it is just soo shiny and new looking! the frame that held the original letters was sitting on the platform, hopefully theyve got something to put on it, or I could dream and hope that they bought the letters off Seaworld's ex Pirate as it is not on at Funfields.
BREAKDANCE's sign was down, as they were re-globing most of it.
MEGA DROP is missing the ball decoration at the top of the ride.
Verfurth's Wheel is not there, as you can see, and MIXER was nowhere to be found.
CRAZY DANCER wins the award for worst position at the carnival, it took over the spot of SCORPION, and has been just put on a ridiculous slope... looks stupid.
Overall, a fairly average carnival, id even prefer if an Ali Baba was there...

I'm liking the look of the Hurricane's cars - the blue colour scheme, stripes and flourish all work really well with the rainbow tribal on the sides.

Vee, not quite sure how to interpret that remark. lol Do you like the blue on the checkplate too? I'm glad to see Hurricane there. You guys on the West Coast really need one. It could be very popular.

Thanks again Huss, yeh Pirate is looking good, glad to see Witt's have given it a bit of new life, has the boat been re-painted too? Yeh Polyp looks in a pretty bad position there.

Strange that the Mixer hasn't turned up either

Nah, the boat is still the same, though it is in pretty good condition anyway.... just needs some sails on the mast and it would be sweet.
