What is it Baloon man, sounds interesting. Was it a coaster or just like a flat ride. It doesn't have it on their website?

I believe it may be the only example in Australia, I think this was the one formerly owned by Show West. In what location did you see it? NSW?

It is a difficult one to describe - there are a few in USA, the seating is like on a Paratrooper with 2 small diametre wheels on each end of a boom above them. They were built in the early 1970's by Venture Rides USA.

the cobra is the former show wst ride, it is now owned by Aaron Bourke of party time amusements, this model does have different carriages, it was modified by the previous owner

It's a good ride; quite fast and very popular at most carnivals. It'd be good to see it doing regional shows.
