Australian Amusement Fanatics

We have alot more room than Melbourne, so I really dont think we will be heading down that path. As for Speed, least it gets you all talking about it, a few surprises are a good thing, though clearly not all are to our liking. (but last I heard it was'nt about us )

Exactly, to the normal show goer it's still an amazing show... Even thought i'm sure people will ask where Rainbow is, just like how people ask where PIRATE is at the Melbourne Show... yes they really do! haha

The general public will just see Ali Baba and go "Hey... the Rainbow has been painted Yellow" Sadly...

Haha wow didn't know they really ask where it is. Probably seeing it at Rye they wonder why it isn't at Melbourne. And that's odd too, no wait I thought Speed was never on the website. Hmm maybe, some people will notice a different ride, especially when they get on probably

Dipper wont be there

Yeh I didn't think it was gonna come over now.

So does this mean the Big Dipper will only ever do the Adelaide Show? If so, that is a quite lame because when it was introduced they said it would travel. I guess they lied.

I heard that the only shows the ride will be doing will be Sydney and Adelaide but looks like not Sydney now

And another thing, it's Gill's Ali Baba taking the Rainbow's place

I believe that the ground was not even enough for them to erect the ride.

Ahh alright, thanks for that info princess

Isn't Gills Ali Baba the ex-verfurths one?

CHEERS,
Space Roller Freak

Sure is mate, oh well, I guess one positive is that I've never seen this model, even though all Ali baba's are basically the same with ride experience.

I wonder if it has had anything has changed with it since it changed owners?

CHEERS,
Space Roller Freak

maybe ill sit infront of ALI BABA with my Rainbow model and just protest that no-one rides it

I'll give you 10 dollars if you do that Huss

I'll do it for free mate! don't you worry

Lol yeh I was gonna suggest that haha. Would be a good thing to do, but don't worry Huss, the RES didn't wanna take it off so I'm sure it'll be back next year, lets hope Ali baba doesn't do as good as the Rainbow would lol

Joyland's new flume bumped in last week along with TPA's Crazy Coaster, Short's/Laurie's Taipan and I think the Skymaster wheel has aswell. The Flume is getting re-themed and worked on at the monent, and trust me, from what I have been told, this is going to be one awesome, spectacular looking ride at this years show. Will look like it should belong in Europe. A few more rides will be bumping in tonight and tomorrow with the likes of Bell's No Limit, Joyland's Power Surge, Short's Zipper, Showtime's Mega Drop and Haunted Hotel. Most of the other rides will be bumping in in the next few days. Definately looking forward to this years show.

I thought that would be the case with Joylands flume. I've seen a advertising poster on it, looks great. Is Taipan co-owned with Lauries & Shorts? Next years easter show will have the new KMG Inversion, i might have to come up for that.

CHEERS,

Flume ride, plastic fantastic.

Yeh Peter Short and max Laurie own it. Yeh I'd say the inversion will be there. Just will be hard to get it on, getting harder to kick rides off now, they are all good rides and popular rides at the show, don't know what will go. But anyway back to this years show, princess, plastic fantastic?

Not long to go now...

I'll be in Sydney from the 10th to the 19th...

so whoever wants to catch up and have a little Ali Baba sabotage... let me know haha

I will sabotage the Ali Baba with you... In spirit anyway...

Are you working Huss?

Plastic fantastic, the Flume ride, looks just that. IMO
