Rye and Rosebud Carnivals 2012/13

[Mixerholic]

I was walking down the street yesterday and they've started the set-up at Rye. They've got the Pirate down atm. Also we've got 2 new rides this year. Giant Slingshot and Hot Rock. Can't wait to try the Slingshot

[Super Loops]

Do you mean Hard Rock ???? or is there a new zipper called the Hot Rock haha I hope the later

[Mixerholic]

Got no idea! I'm hoping it's a Zipper or a KMG ride Oh well we'll have to wait and see.

[Mixerholic]

I only know of the 2 new rides because they're advertised at Video Ezy. The early bird wristbands are $35 save $10. Same as last year. Can't wait to ride the classic Breakdance

[Super Loops]

All info is up now on the Wittingslow website:

EDIT: deleted as pointed out by mixer it is possibly last years line up? still, I can't work out why it says this on the website -

Super Loops that's last years ride list....

[Super Loops]

I was thinking of heading past Rye for s look on Saturday but it looks like a 37 degree day so not sure now.

[Mixerholic]

They haven't done any work lately. The Pirate is still on it's 3 trailers. They may start set-up this weekend. Also the Rye and Rosebud Carnivals start on 26/12/12 and finishes on 27/1/13. Cant' wait to see the gear that comes up this year. I have more fun at the Rye Carnival than Royal Melbourne Show. Is it slightly bias or not? It'd make my life even closer to completion if we get a Zipper! Maybe one day we might see the Rainbow again and if I ever see the Turbo I would lose it

[HUSSRAINBOW]

giant slingshot? as in Durkins slingshot?!!!

[Mixerholic]

Got no idea HUSS. We'll have to wait and see. LOL atleast we've got better rides than LPM

[HUSSRAINBOW]

Hard Rock will do very well at rye!

[Super Loops]

My perfect Rye would be: Enterprise, Rainbow, Pirate, Zipper, Orbitor (not Extreme), Super Loops, Turbo, Cha Cha, Break Dance (HUSS), Hurricane, Taipan/Big Dipper and Force 10. Given the ground space available I'm not even sure all those would fit, and I should have even mentioned a Ferris Wheel which I would also like to see up to add some atmosphere. I sure am interested in what is going this year, a Zipper is badly needed just to spice things up a bit.

we start set up on this saturday 8th december

[Mixerholic]

Tziolas seeing as you're working there are we getting Hard Rock or is there a ride called Hot Rock, also do you know if the Giant Slingshot is the one that I'm thinking of. Thanks

[Super Loops]

Went by Rye today on way to Sorrento, only Pirate is there racked, nothing else yet.

[HUSSRAINBOW]

also went past today... pirate was being set up, thats all

[Mixerholic]

Went past Rye carnival today and Scorpion has arrived! Also checked their website and it's official that it's Hard Rock coming down. Can't wait for it to be open I will have to give Hard Rock a second chance like I did with Power Surge. Have a good one guys.

[Super Loops]

That's good news about all these rides showing up..Hard Rock is a great ride! It's even better when you ride it at night (as you will at RYE), add some smoke, lighting, loud music, a good crowd to ride with and it is a blast. I'm glad Scorpion is back, it's been a couple years since I've had a chance to ride it so I'm looking forward to it. I wonder what they will charge for a ride on the Sling Shot?

[HUSSRAINBOW]

Slingshot isn't here yet, will upload some photos later. Hard Rock has taken the place of Mixer.... Bout time

[Mixerholic]

Hard Rock looks pretty badass at Rye I've gotta admit! Wish we had the Zipper!!!!!!!!!! I was also in Rosebud and the rides are the same as usual. I was sold for this years RC when I saw Scorpion anything else is just icing on the cake

[Super Loops]

^If I remember from last time, the yellow scorpion cars spin fastest, so unless they changed the colour scheme for the cars I would ride the yellow only. I would love if the Zipper turned up again, it would really make the carnival come alive again, it's felt weird since it left. I assume Cha Cha is back again this year? well I hope so.

[HUSSRAINBOW]

Here are some photos.... surely the carnival is finished now ready for tomorrow nights opening...

[Mixerholic]

That feeling you get when you're the first person to ride the Scorpion Oh God it's been a while and the feeling of flight is so much fun!!!!!!!!!!!! Hope you all have had an awesome Christmas. So here's to 2013 the best year yet!!!!!!!!! I'm not a fan of the ride layout. The Hot Gun (not to be confused with Top Gun), Bunjy Tramp, Rockin' Tug and Slingshot were very close together. I honestly don't know what they were thinking having those rides close together because it's a little bit awkward moving around. On another note the crowds were very healthy tonight, the weather was perfect and there was a nice atmosphere to it. Hard Rock was operating well and so was Scorpion.
