Yes that's right. This Ranger operated at World Expo 88 before traveling for a short time with Wittingslow Amusements. It has been completely overhalled twice since arriving at Luna Park in late 1994.

Wittingslow used to do all the capitals... (minus perth) and my fondest memory of the ride was seeing it operating back to back with the Rainbow at Rye when I was about 4 or 5.... i'd give anything to go back to those rye carnival days

Yeah I remember when the HUSS Ranger was at Luna park Melbourne (1992-1993) was great. I paid for an unlimited ride handstamp, and hardly left the ride my whole day.

I would like to see the Ranger racked and at other locations.
It comes on 2 trailers, one for the main structure & another for the gondola.

No idea about the pathetic excuse for a Kamikaze, seriously that thing is a piece of crap and HURTS like hell!!!

As far as the Explorer goes (Not actually made by Reverchon but Dan-Fab) I am fairly sure it is trailer mountable
