Ok, yes, very wishful thinking. I could just imagine the sight on Huss' face if he saw Rainbow at Melbourne. That sunny, happy face would probably even wink at you Huss and put on an even bigger smile So the only new ride is Skywalker and maybe Halloween
I'd say you'll get Halloween with Speed going there. But yeh, March's do perth and apparently Perth is a really great show well, Joyland's went really well there with Power Surge last year. It's just driving over there is the biggest thing. With some fuel across the Nulubor being around $2 a litre. So I'm not sure if they're going back across
also a small note... Found Rainbow on Google Earth, the main tower packed in O'Neill's yard... shame it's not kept in a shed... hmmm couldnt find the booms or gondola though.
I thought their wheel would be getting setup by now. Yes Huss, I've seen their yard too. Is the tower sort of in the shade near some trees? As you said, shame it's not in a shed, probably everything else is in a shed
Ok, probably the Durkin rides are there? Do the Durkin rides do any other shows either. I heard they did Canberra but when I was there, they've never been there. I've only heard them doing the capitals and Newcastle. That container could possibly be the TPA Raupenbahn(well part of it)
God, I'm sick of that ride too. Doesn't deserve to be at Ekka and didn't deserve one of the top spots at Sydney taking the spot from Breakdance. Bell's Thunderbolt all the way!!!!!!
i think rupen bahn gives good atmosphere, it looks great, not the smoothest of rides though, im sure there are more prefered rides, but it seems to do well.
to anyone going to ekka, what are you hoping to see and ride, for me its
sky walker
space roller
no limit
speed (first time)
might try crazy coaster as well
hopefully we will see some other new rides as well
PNC, We should propose a meet up for Ekka! Although it doesn't look like I'm going this year... as I haven't been able to save up any money due to having to pay rent and bills this past few months
i havent been on speed either, i also look forward to riding hard rock, i dont think i will ever get bored of those rides, im not sure what day ill be going hurricane, if i have some notice ill let you know, but in that past i have just decided on the morning that i will go
I've been crazy about the show pretty much all my life, my earliest memories are of the turbo when i was still in a pram. This was when my local show (the bundaberg show/ don't live there anymore) would, get the chipmunk and two turbo's!!!. A blue one and a red one. Though i remember one of them being slightly smaller.
The first major ride i went on was Pink's Force 10 (now re-named extreme force) when I was in grade 3, hence the name. That ride was awesome back in the day. unfortunately goldenway's scorpion took away alot of its business.
The bundy show always had a good line up(so much so my first time at the ekka i was disappointed it wasn't much bigger!!). i remember one year we got 3 zippers!! it was nuts. I think its one of the last shows before they all break-up some goin north and some goin west.
Pumped up for eKKA, the only rides im really counting on being there-
bell's no limit,
cetek's hangover (it never disappoints!)
short's Zipper
Laurie's Breakdance
insanity
Johnson's hard rock
Watkin's space roller (just keep wanting a longer go on it but!)
and it would be really awesome if trindalls cyber party came..
I wasn't too keen on powersurge last year, what did you guys think? maybe i just got a bad run, it just really wasn't all that thrilling.
Can anyone confirm this year's line-up? anyone on the show circuit out there?
Hey Force, the Hangover came through the pouring rain of Rocky yesterday afternoon headed south. They also had that simulator looking thing following. So wont be far fom Bris vegas...
