Re: eKKA 2010
seen the new wheel racked at the truckstop today and when i was on my way home it was on the way to the showgrounds, techno jump was also there, but it was still there tonight when i was travelling home, ill see if it is still there in the morning, it wasnt hard to spot the showmen as they were all travelling with their camps in a big convoy, must have been 15 caravans all in a row
Re: eKKA 2010
Is this the most boring lead up to a Capital ever????????????

Re: eKKA 2010
Ekka 2010 - I am worried.. No signs of xxl, speed, kamikaze, insanity, slingshot (which have been rumoured not to be showing at all), star flyer, most of TPA's gear, pinks crazy cars or wave swinger.. It goes on. Instead we have 2 roller coasters and a flume taking up most of the grounds. And crappy old rides (starship200) taking up prime positions! (it's in power surges usual spot.. On a refreshing note, space roller has moved to where starflyer was last year, and pirates at least has a good frontage this time. Let's hope some quality gear comes to fill in the fill the holes that remain!
Re: eKKA 2010
im sure alot of stuff is still on its way from cairns, and pine rivers show is this weekend, so im sure somee quipment will come from there
Re: eKKA 2010
Well, we know for a fact Wave Swinger will not be at EKKA this year as it is at Luna Park Sydney. I don't see much gear from Pine Rivers going to EKKA as it's mostly your Cha Cha's and that sort of gear at that show, the stuff that doesn't get on to capitals this year. It wouldn't surprise me if XXXL doesn't attend this year to be honest, as last year it barley had any riders. But then again most of the gear at EKKA doesn't make much money.
Re: eKKA 2010
Hard rock is in it's original spot - kinda where xxl was last year.

Re: eKKA 2010
Thanks Huss, for breathing some life into the Ekka
Re: eKKA 2010
Great photos! Thanks for posting. I've taken my camera with me today so I'll put some up us afternoon too. Well I can relax a little knowin xxl is here! Mixer has been setup between taipan and haunted hotel. Looks like mega drop will not be setup this year, part of the ride is wedged between the fence and the back of hotel and mixer. Alibaba has returned.

Re: eKKA 2010
Great photos Huss, lets hope some quality rides turn up for the show in the next few days. But then Hardrocks there, so doesnt really matter hey
Re: eKKA 2010
its good to hear that hard rock got a better position than last year, marchs hurricane is also on so i am told
Re: eKKA 2010
I heard the same thing, which will be GREAT news to see a classic get back on at the show. No Doubt it would be in Wave Swingers old spot.

Re: eKKA 2010
I was told March's were going to apply for the Hurri but then decided not to in the end, unless thing's have changed which is great news.
Thanks for the photos Huss, Joyland's look like they have a good position with the Flume.
