Spot on Top Gunner, a warm sunny 3 days would make a nice change and reward alot of showman who have showed confidence in our show many years to be plauged by bad weather...
Apparently thats what bought on the date change for this year, (bringing it forward another week) hopefully it will come out ok...

Yeah the website is a bit of a laugh - most of those ride photos are of comparable overseas versions of our ones (including a couple taken by me poached without permission from my website) - they've left names on the photos, so I am not about to get too precious over it (I will insist on a free admission to the show and we can call it even)
Unfortunately I will not be going this year as planned due to work and other committments which have snuck up on me. I will be saving my snowcone experience for Rocky '09. My Tiger Airways seat will be departing empty.
I am interested in getting a list of what rides are there. I gather it will be a similar line-up to a capital show as it is a large ground. Skyview will make its presence known.

Rocky show usually has a great line up but i have been once where i was pretty average it was a year where thing weren't going real good economically so i guess that was the reason no sense bring rides when the people won't have the money to spend
But this area is in a bit of a Boom at the moment even with the interest rates and fuel cost i think people will have a splurge and go to the show also if the weather is good

It's strange the Rocky Show organisers didn't have images of the rides coming to their event. Usually when Showmen apply to participate in these shows, they have to provide promotional materials such as images to go with their submissions. Definitely go for that free entry Dave!
Can't wait for the reviews folks.

Honestly guys, our council and especially the employees who run the showgrounds don't give a sh** about anything but beef week.. (Every 4 years)
I race speedway here and we are consatantly fighting with the administration... Unless you got a cow in your truck, they don't care, and I think the website reflects that... Shame, but anyways, thankfully not everyone knows all the B.S. that goes on in the background, and the show will be great anyways...
Was gonna go set up today, but it's still a bit wet, thankfully i got the truck out of the yard yesterday, or it would have been stuck there sure as!!
Least my ice is lasting longer at the moment!! hehe... Sun due out late Sunday/Monday.. fingers crossed...

I have seen on the news that there has been some wild weather up up in Queensland in the last few days. The only Aussie rides on that Website are Marshall's Ali Baba, I thought the Zipper was Short's but its not, Alpine Express, Looks like TPA's Crazy Coaster but it's not, CliffHanger, Gravitron, Ferrari 500's, Scorpion, Euro SLide, Dave's own photo of O'Neill's WaveSwinger but I'd say that won't be there and that's it. They've obviously gone onto Google image Search and just typed in Carnival Rides or Amusement Rides and just picked all different images. Very poor advertising.
