Glad you enjoyed the Rocky Show Steve, without being picky, your ride list had 4 Dodgems:Crazy Cars, Nitro Dodgems and both of Shorts tracks. The Slingshot has been around for years now and hasn't been to Rocky for ages and Speed 2 has been a regular for a few years. I decided to give the Freak Out a try and well ho-hum I was a bit disappointed with the ride experience. Even with the lap bar I didn't think it was worth the $10 to ride it.
There are going to be some changes to next years show as the Show Society are taking over the running of the show from the Council. They plan to move the dates back a week to a mid-week show so that there will be no clash of dates with the Yeppoon Show.
Cheers,DEEFA.

Great to hear you like it as well DEEFA.

My mistake with the list, couldn't really remember how many. With Slingshot, I didn't know that as well, ive never seen it before and only seen it in pics at EKKA and thought it might of been new but doesn't seem to be now.
Also I thought Speed 2 is new but I know what you mean now... :)

That's good for Yeppoon, looking forward to not clash with Rocky next year if I go to it..
