Re: A few unique rides I'd like to have in Australia
fantastic photos Hurri - thanks for sharing. Yes it sure is an overly complicated design with the lifting element.
Re: A few unique rides I'd like to have in Australia
The whole lifting "novelty" really does depend on the operator IMHO. Sometimes they don't run it that fast while it's lifting and other times they crank it to full speed. When it's going at full speed I will say it does add some interesting G's to the ride, but each to there own I guess.
Re: A few unique rides I'd like to have in Australia
great photos, thanks for that hurricane. I haven't been on cyber party but i think the lifting arms look great especially on overseas models, but i also see how you could think that it ruins a classic ride.
Re: A few unique rides I'd like to have in Australia
IMO it doesn't ruin a classic ride. It just gives it something that is different to anything we have seen in Australia. Sure it works mostly like a standard Breakdance, so you still get that ride sensation. But when it lifts up it's something that we and the general public have not seen on our shores until it was imported, so IMO it's a success really.
Re: A few unique rides I'd like to have in Australia
Is it popular at the shows?
Re: A few unique rides I'd like to have in Australia
Very popular, like any breakdance ride is
Re: A few unique rides I'd like to have in Australia
I don't if its me but i have never seen a breakdance type ride spin this way before.
Is this common or unique?

Re: A few unique rides I'd like to have in Australia
nothing out of the ordinary.... at least the car motors spin the oposite way to the floor unlike wittingslow's breakdance

Re: A few unique rides I'd like to have in Australia
Hey Ekkafan03! We already have a travelling Polyp. It's called The Summer Party. You can see a picture of it in the 2 Carnivals & Ekka blog. I would love to see a KMG Discovery in Australaia because it's about time that we had another Top Spin/WipeOut ride! This is what KMG Discovery looks like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSmqZCCmWPk Enjoy!Ekkafan03 wrote:Time to start this thread up again !

OK we desperately are in need of new Rollercoasters! It'd be epic to have Wilde Maus XXL and Olympia Looping in Australia.

Re: A few unique rides I'd like to have in Australia
Looks like it would be like the Space Roller. If it is I agree it would be fantastic to ride. I can not wait to go to the EKKA this weekend and ride on the Space Roller.

Re: A few unique rides I'd like to have in Australia
Most of those rides would be too big to travel here. Wittingslow wanted a HUSS Topspin but it was too big for our roads
