Great line-up and definitely a loss for Melbourne with XXXL heading west again. Is this the first time Sky View Wheel has done Perth?

Thanks for the comments kiwi,in regards to the SuperBowl it gets fairly used all year round depending which event the company takes it too, has been at the royal show since 2007 and still attracts huge number of riders.

Hope that clears your answer up,

Cheers, never hear much about the ride and would love to see it one day. From what I understand its a bit more complex than the ARM rides in the UK, the base rotates aswell? Guessing it requires more than one trailer?

Cheers

I can tell you right now that it would be TPA's Super Jump, you can see the hydraulic pistons in the center of the picture and not to mention the car shapes match the ride :)

Sorry for the delay Kiwi,undertaking a massive flogging of my internet connection of complying my playlists for next weekend. In to your reply yes the base rotates as well,and also requiring about to two trailers (one for back drop and signage, the other its the travelling unit.

Hope this as helped,

No problems however I assume SkyWalker will be in Perth sometime tonight or first thing Wednesday morning...therefore didn't photograph.

Also stay tuned for Royal Show rides previews on seven,nine and ten news Friday afternoon here in the West.
