Royal Easter Show 2009
Re: Royal Easter Show 2009
We have alot more room than Melbourne, so I really dont think we will be heading down that path. As for Speed, least it gets you all talking about it, a few surprises are a good thing, though clearly not all are to our liking. (but last I heard it was'nt about us )

Re: Royal Easter Show 2009
Exactly, to the normal show goer it's still an amazing show... Even thought i'm sure people will ask where Rainbow is, just like how people ask where PIRATE is at the Melbourne Show... yes they really do! haha
Re: Royal Easter Show 2009
The general public will just see Ali Baba and go "Hey... the Rainbow has been painted Yellow" Sadly...

Re: Royal Easter Show 2009
Haha wow didn't know they really ask where it is. Probably seeing it at Rye they wonder why it isn't at Melbourne. And that's odd too, no wait I thought Speed was never on the website. Hmm maybe, some people will notice a different ride, especially when they get on probably

So does this mean the Big Dipper will only ever do the Adelaide Show? If so, that is a quite lame because when it was introduced they said it would travel. I guess they lied.

Re: Royal Easter Show 2009
And another thing, it's Gill's Ali Baba taking the Rainbow's place
Re: Royal Easter Show 2009
I believe that the ground was not even enough for them to erect the ride.

Re: Royal Easter Show 2009
Sure is mate, oh well, I guess one positive is that I've never seen this model, even though all Ali baba's are basically the same with ride experience.

Re: Royal Easter Show 2009
Lol yeh I was gonna suggest that haha. Would be a good thing to do, but don't worry Huss, the RES didn't wanna take it off so I'm sure it'll be back next year, lets hope Ali baba doesn't do as good as the Rainbow would lol

Re: Royal Easter Show 2009
Joyland's new flume bumped in last week along with TPA's Crazy Coaster, Short's/Laurie's Taipan and I think the Skymaster wheel has aswell. The Flume is getting re-themed and worked on at the monent, and trust me, from what I have been told, this is going to be one awesome, spectacular looking ride at this years show. Will look like it should belong in Europe. A few more rides will be bumping in tonight and tomorrow with the likes of Bell's No Limit, Joyland's Power Surge, Short's Zipper, Showtime's Mega Drop and Haunted Hotel. Most of the other rides will be bumping in in the next few days. Definately looking forward to this years show.

Re: Royal Easter Show 2009
I thought that would be the case with Joylands flume. I've seen a advertising poster on it, looks great. Is Taipan co-owned with Lauries & Shorts? Next years easter show will have the new KMG Inversion, i might have to come up for that.

Re: Royal Easter Show 2009
Yeh Peter Short and max Laurie own it. Yeh I'd say the inversion will be there. Just will be hard to get it on, getting harder to kick rides off now, they are all good rides and popular rides at the show, don't know what will go. But anyway back to this years show, princess, plastic fantastic?
