^ I hadn't noticed the Hangover description...will be interesting to see it with sixteen arms. I can't wait
On a serious note, does anyone know if the new Zyklon Loop 'Big Dipper' will make it over to the Royal Melbourne? I would think not if only due to how close the shows run together. Melbourne is missing out big time year after year.

I doubt very much whether the Big Dipper will make it to Melbourne this or any other year due to the proximity of dates between it and Adelaide and Adelaide will probably always win through. I guess it's possible BD could do Moomba or a Victorian Christmas carnival; not too sure whether bob Lawrence does carnivals in SA at those times.
As for Melb, the ride lineup is probably the same as last year as Power Surge and Sky Walker are missing. That leaves Space Roller, No Limit and Speed as the majors and possibly Insanity?

Top Gunner, you really have me thinking what to expect now now...haha.... hmmm? So how do you think it will be better than last year? Well ok, come to think of it, I guess it's not THAT hard to top last year (or any of the last few years which have been very average at best). I'm not getting my hopes up.

Princess, I would agree with that. Back in the day, Moomba used to be great, but Melbourne Show even better (and the rides tended to go longer at Royal Melb)
Now, I'd say quite easily Melb Show is second-rate to Moomba as far as the number and variety of major rides - especially given that Moomba is a free-admission event. (though Melbourne Show offers the whole agricultural side too)
But everything changes year by year - new management comes in, new rides, new planning... all may not be lost.
