Thanks for that guys. :) As I said I'm having major carnival ride withdrawals; it feels like ages since Adelaide back in September!

Does anyone know whether the Terrigal carnival is still operating on the Central Coast near Gosford? Pavier's used to run it after being kicked out of The Entrance several years ago and it was usually a fairly good lineup.

I'll continue to read reviews and updates from you all; keep them coming and perhaps I'll see some of you at Narrabeen?

It is good to see that Super Sizzler is still geting out a bit. I have only ever rode it once when it was at the Shep show back in 04. That year was a really good show, it had; Pinks Hurricane & Extreme Force, Shorts Matterhorn, Watkins Zipper & Kamikaze, Golden Way Scorpion, Zacchini's Temple of Doom, CTLS Tilt-a-Whirl and i think that Frank Laurie had his Breakdance their too.

Joyland's Better Amusement Hire will have their carnival at Huskisson in Jervis Bay on the NSW South Coast at the Huskisson Sports Oval (opposite the bowling club). Goes from Boxing Day but I'm not sure of the finish date usually the twenty something. Pretty good lineup:

Hurricane
Round-Up
Cha Cha
Dodgem Track
Super Slide
Maybe Power Surge (not been confirmed yet)
Wild Chairs
Kids Rides
Food Canteens
Games and Sideshows

Looking forward to it. Hopefully Power Surge will be confirmed. And I'll be down to get some photos and do the usual review.

Cheers

Bell's Xmas Carnival kicks off tomorrow night the 19th. I'm going to try and get down there on Saturday but don't expect anything because I might not get down there. But the ride lineup is always magic but wil be even better this year with:

No Limit
Thunderbolt
Big Wheel
Giant Slide
Ski Jump
Cha Cha
WIpeout
Para Trooper
Swinger
Tornado
Dodgem Track
Music Trip
Heaps of Kids Rides
Inflatables
Food Canteens
Heaps of Joints and Slide shows

Definately looking forward to the carnival this year, will be good to see No Limit down there and the Thunderbolt. Hopefully I can get down there on Saturday but if not I'll be down during January.

Had the chance to get down to Bateman's Bay to checkout Bell's Christams Carnival. Wasn't too busy while I was down there but picked up a bit later on. Was nice to catch up with Elwin Snr, had a bit of a chat about things which is always good. Only went on 3 rides and I decided to go on No Limit twice with it being down there for the first time and the Thunderbolt. Bell's went to all the trouble of getting the No Limit down by organising a police escort service to help their way through from Queanbeyan to Bateman's Bay. But I think it'll go very well over the period its there. Just a few photos but no review.

Had a good time down there but I will be back down in January and I'll do the full review and more photos. Enjoy!
