Australian Amusement Fanatics

I know this sounds rather stupid, and feel free to shoot me down for it... But I was thinking that we need something like a Calendar... Featuring High Quality photos of 12+ different rides travelling the Oz circuit.
I know this is something similar to what Matts Carnival Warehouse does... But I think it would be cool to have like one of our rides... professionally printed.. etc etc....
Rides we could include:

Space Roller - Watkins
Rainbow - O'Neills
Sky Walker - March
No Limit - Bells
Raupen Bahn - TPA
Wave Swinger - March
Speed - Golden Way
Breakdance - Lauries
Zipper - Shorts
Sky View -
Mega Drop - Osbournes
Hard Rock - Johnsons

Any idea's.... I think it could work out really well, Could include all MAJOR show dates etc... , if done properly.... who knows, could see it hanging' up in some control booths...

Let me know what you guys think, i'd be happy to make it happen.


Chris.

I have enjoyed Matts calender for the last couple of years, which I intend to get again this coming year. I would definately be interested in an Australian version.

Sounds good huss, if u make one, pls can I hav one?

CHEERS,
Space Roller Freak

THE SGA released there own calender.

Does anyone know where the showmens guild australia's website has disappeared to? Cuz u used to be able to see the calander on their website.

CHEERS,
Space Roller Freak

Thats all good that the SGA released a calendar, but I haven't heard nor seen anything of this calendar.... are you saying this would be a waste of time if we came up with our own?

i think its a good idea, just please put speed in september? cause i always get calenders that are good and the crappiest picture is always on my birthday month (september)

Good idea Huss

Yeah, iv seen two editions, they release one each year. It has all the family with there rides for each month.

Here is an example of something I came up with....
I think if we really were up for it, we could all make it work...




Chris.

Looks fantastic huss! If u were goin to do it what months would u assign specific rides to?

CHEERS,
Space Roller Freak

No idea mate, haha, but i'm sure we could all come up with a good list of what ride to put in what month..

sounds good.

I want either Sky Walker or Space Roller for November You are really outdoing yourself though Chris, it looks fantastic so far.

I got a March's Amusements SkyWalker Calendar and Pen today but the calendar is only good for another 2 months ahaha.

How did ya get the calender and pen Hurricane?

CHEERS,

I think the SHOCKWAVE would make a good photo

Not many of us are around Shockwave to get a good photo.... I think if we do do it, then we might have to try and stay away from the "usual" picture and find some more interesting ways to capture the ride. The Skymaster was a good place to take amazing aerial shots....

sounds like a great idea of the callendar if u end up doing one can i have a copy
as far as rides go the shockwave all lit up and working doesnt make a bad photo
there are also other rides out there that don make a bad photo

Love the thinking Chris. I am with you there on the last comment. You want to get away from the standard photo and try and get a unique shot that will make the Calendar stand out even more.

If you want to do something like this, you would want to do it right and put some real work into it (not saying you arent doing that already - just speaking generally).

I have a number of thoughts on this and will speak to you about this.

Seems mearly like it would just be an online thing.... In reality, i'd probably just ending up doing the artwork, layout stuff... and then other people help in other ways.... I dunno... might just forget it..

It's a top idea dude,
My lil bro did a similar thing for his 'gay' skyline club bum buddies and they got one profesionally printed and was reasonably priced. They now sell over 50 calenders to their members each year.
So yeah, the idea has merrit... Good luck bud..

Dont give up on the idea Chris, we could even have a members photo taken when we are all together lol .

lol or individual shots infront of your fave ride... haha pictures myself sitting on Rainbow lookin top sh**! haha

I'll sit in front of March's Hurricane or Trindalls Cyber Party then :3 Either that or a sign in the Hurri box with me in there saying "Don't feed the caged animal"

I'll sit in front of the Top Gun Lol, bet a great idea Chris, I'd be up for buying one if they get as far as being professionally made
