Gladstone harbour festival -2012.
Posted: Sun Apr 22, 2012 11:56 am
Headed on down to Gladstone over Easter for the annual festival again this year. Ride list was: Cyber Party, Claw, Kamikaze, Energy Storm, Flash Dance, Dodgems, Super Trooper, Scrambler, Ultimate Party Machine, Temple of Doom, Jumbo Slide plus kids rides and dozens of stalls. A notable absence this year was Marchs' gear but a first time appearance for the Energy Storm and Watkins recent purchase: The Claw. Weather was perfect and crowds were big on Good Friday, so I decided to give the Claw a try since it hasn't been up this way since Durkins first bought it to Australia 20 odd years ago! It was a "clunky" ride to say the least but quite a thrill to ride all the same for me. Cyber Party and the Party Machine were going off and the Energy Storm was doing quite well for its' first turn out as well. I did notice though that some rides were up to $9 per person which is getting a bit steep, but I guess that's inflation for you. All in all, a good little turn out for a festival that was celebrating 50 years of amusements.
