If someone sees Summer Party could they please take a picture of it because I am busting to see what it looks like! I remember when I last saw the Crazy Dancer at Rye during the last summer break and it was looking so tired and well I really felt sorry for the ride. I know that I may be a bit cynical and I apologise if I have offended anyone.

Its had a full makeover and looks sick in a good way lol

Here's what it looks like now

OH MY GOD!!! COMPOSURE HAS DISAPPEARED! It looks a hell of a lot better than it previously did. Miller's Amusements take a bow and PigDog keep on rocking this ride because this family ride kicks arse! Oh before I forget...Thanks for the picture Funderstruck you're a legend!

No problem. Just quietly its for sale too

I see the Pine Rivers show is on as well in August just before the EKKA, so would that be another carnival to add!!
I would like to see a what would be there in rides at that show, is this show big in ride wise or is it small??

Couldnt see it being much of a show with ekka and both other carnivals starting early august.

ok.. so what carnival would you think is worth traveling to in August (excluding EKKA)??

Woah, I forgot about pine rivers. It feel like every attraction in Australia will be in Brisbane this August, well almost haha.

yeah it does seem most of it will be there, but there are probably other town shows and festivals on in August that we dont even know....

Either Browns Plains or north lakes would be a good show to go to

I might be attending Northside Fun Fair so expect photos !

North Lakes Is that being bias????

I think we are only a hand full of rides short of the Ekka's lineup this year.

I remember there used to be a carnival at Sandgate whilst Ekka was on in the 70's and in Sydney there used to be Tempe, during RES, did this stop all together, or have there always been
Carnivals on during capitals?

Sydney usually has several carnivals operating at the same time as RES due to the Easter long weekend but most are fairly small; still a lot of fun though and often a good chance to ride classics such as Hurricane and Tilt.

Does that still happen? Besides Bass Hill, where are the others

thats good, im thinking of attending it as well and may also have pics and videos of it..

I saw Space Roller went pass my place here in Gympie last Tuesday around 9:30am going south??

Did used to have St Mary's carnival but that was a big flop, not the best suburb to run a carnival in...
And Space Roller would've been on it's way to Brisbane

It's been a long time since I have seen a carnival set up anywhere actually!!
