Lol

I have no interest whatsoever in that machine haha..... is this a pointless thread?

faark you say some dumb things huss.
Good on its fun for telling us whats going on around the traps, and having a little fun too...

maybe you need to get out more husspirate.when you can own anything then start talking instead of living in your little dream world.......

i've got a little more to worry about than owning a ride.. i know you own a ride. I think that is great.... So calm down... I just didnt understand why you were waffling on about

Come on Huss it was a bit funny

Setup pics are good..
There we go, this thread does have a point!!

Can't wait ot see some pics from a smaller event, should be more of them. Thanks gunner!

Not a problem, the Top Gun will be arriving at the school on thursday in the afternoon and the Sizzler and Dodgem track will arrive friday morning.

Top Gun will arrive tomorrow. Depending on what time it arrives and my things I have on, will depend on how many set-up photos I get.

Got back an hour ago from seting up. Top Gun arrived late as the ride was bogged in the mud at the property and nearly pulled out from doing the event. And the Sizzler and Dodgem Track arrived aswell. When I left the tower was still down and the arm had just been swung out. Dodgem Track and Sizzler were parked in position and when I left had only had there back axles removed. Heres a few photos:

Sizzler:



Dodgem Track:



Top Gun:
Just parked into position:





Stabalisers down, control booth removed, truck disconnected, top sign folded out.



Deck lowered:



Swinging the arm out:





Thats all for now, sorry it was getting dark and they aren't to clear. All the rides will probably be done seting up tonight or early tomorrow morning. Will get a heap of photos of the event tomorrow.

Great photos. TG is really looking slick. No guessing what will be the most popular ride there amongst the school kids.

hope the weather improves.

Well one school kid anyway

Good stuff Gunner, I like how the dodgem track and sizzler have the same model prime movers. Don't see that very often

Had a good day, had great weather. Firstly had the walk which was to raise funds for the school and we came back and had a sausage sizzle lunch along with a can of coke and packet of chips. The rides started around 11.30am with a few people hoping on for rides. Wasn't to busy which was suprising with a majority of the school back from the walk. They were all sitting down relaxing and having a breather from the walk, then the queves for the rides just extended to a good 20 metres for each ride. The rides ended at about 2pm with everyone gathering in the hall to watch the battle of the bands. So yeh great day, everyone enjoyed themselves, just a quick review and a few photos.

Sizzler: Didn't get a chance to ride it but was very popular at one point. Looked like it was running pretty well and looked pretty good aswell.



Dodgem Cars: Everyone enjoys the dodgems. Had a ride on them and was pretty fun. Track was pretty smooth and was in good condition. Had a good long cycle too with plenty of crashing and chaos. One car was out of action for a bit of time but think they got it working again.







Top Gun: Was good to have the ride at school. Alot of people were impressed to have the ride there and I'm pretty sure most enjoyed it. Wasn't to popular when the rides opened but had a decent queve for the rest of the arvo. The ride was looking pretty good with the nice bright paintjob and the coloured back sign. I rode the ride twice, first ride was bit slow and the cycle was ok. Hoped on for the last ride of the arvo along with a few of the teachers, and the ride was a great long cycle with some great fast loops just going over and over and over and over and we kept going for a while haha. Was funny listening to the teachers screaming and there comments as we were going. But yeh a good long cycle and being held upside down too. Again was good to have the ride there.









Again had a good day but now tired and sore. Anyway enjoy!

Cheers

Great photos Adam, it is not everyone who get to have the favourite ride turn up at their school.

Lol wouldn't say my favourite, but it is up there. Thanks for the comment, the last 3 photos of the TG look great I think, love the new camera compared to my old one

Nice pics, sounds like it was a good day. I was thinking to myself a while ago how good Spaceroller would look on the front oval at school.. Haha I wish.
