Mildura Show 2008

Post by Space Roller Freak »

Well, Mildura has always been a 'biggy'. In previous years the lineups have included: Space Roller, Kamikaze, Hard Rock, Ali Baba, No Limit, Bells Hurricane, Breakdance, Techno Jump, Temple of Doom, Shorts Zipper, Cha Cha & Cliff Hanger. I'm surprised that Crazy Coaster doesn't do Mildura, but it does Geelong. As Mildura is further away from Melbourne compared to Geelong, i'm sure thats shy they get more rides. Also Halloween will not be making an appearance, cuz its goin to Geelong. Should be a fantastic show! Huss, lookin forwards to ur pics!

CHEERS,
Space Roller

Was a great show, way wayy too hot, and that wasn't good for the rides, heres the ride list, and pictures soon.

SPACE ROLLER
NO LIMIT
BELLS CHA CHA
SHORTS ZIPPER
LAURIES BREAKDANCE
HARD ROCK
BELLS MUSIC TRIP
BELLS TORNADO
BELLS HURRICANE
PINKS CRAZY CARS DODGEMS
CHANTS FERRIS WHEEL
WATKINS KAMIKAZE
SLINGSHOT
WATKINS TILT
LAURIES TECHNO JUMP
SUPER TROOPER
ULTIMATE PARTY MACHINE (Not Operating)
2 Other CHA CHA'S also

So overall a great lineup, although for three days, it was too many rides for such a heat wave that Mildura is going through at the moment. It was just too hot to ride anything, apart from Space Roller.

Great Lineup Huss, lookin forwards to ur pics. Interesting that a fair bit of bells gear was there. I thought that No Limit would turn up. Its next off to Bendigo which has been confirmed by the show society.

Great line-up, I thought No Limit would be there and a whole heap of other Bell's gear. And good to hear No Limit will be at Bendigo. Looking forward to photos. And a shame to hear about the Party Machine not operating

No idea, it was down, then the gondola was up the top... no-one was around it, so who knows.
Kamikaze wasn't operating either, but I think thats cos no-one really wanted to go on it, but not sure

Great photos huss! Everyone's gear seems to be in top shape. The Kamikaze could really use a massive overhaul right now as it just looks feral IMO. Also I wonder what is up with No Limit missing the sign at the top of the ride. It's also good to see the extent of the damage to the Space Roller signs.

I miss Bell's Hurricane, Music Trip and Cha Cha alot :( If anyone see's them around give them a ride for me!
