  1. Right, so at 10am my friends and I got to Lidcombe Station, we made our way to the Sprint Platform and got on the train to the Olympic Park. We got to the show at around 10:30 It wasn't really packed at the Show yesterday, well not as much as it was on Sunday. So my friends and I entered the show, we walked around for a bit to check out what was new. After that we bought ride tickets and went on a few rides. My friend and I only paid $20 each for the Sling Shot because we were "Early Bird" riders. Rides we went on were (in order that we went on) Sling Shot: My friend and I were were the only ones that were brave enough to actually even think of going on the Sling Shot. So we paid and it was about a 5 minute wait. When we got on, one of the operators claimed that it was 10ft taller than the one at the Gold Coast and that it was faster too. Didn't know if he was telling the truth or not, but we still went on. It's quite fun, seeing as it was my third time on a Sling Shot. After the ride we each got a free drink off one of the operators. Taipan: The next ride was Taipan. As usual it was as boring as batpoo baseball. Don't know why my friends and I even wasted our time on it. It was about a 3 minute wait to get on. The ride over-all was absolute CRAP (excuse the language please). It was rough, REALLY rough and short. No Limit: After Taipan was No Limit. It was LITERALLY a walk-on. Yeah I know, I couldn't believe it myself either. A walk-on...ON A RIDE!? AT THE EASTER SHOW!? The ride was well worth the 15 tickets. The girl next to me almost through up :S Thank God she didn't! In my opinion, it's as good as Speed! Mega Drop: This ride wasn't as boring as I thought it would of been. It was actually quite fun. The funny thing was this girl I was with was going on about how crap the Mega Drop was. "OHH THAT'S NOT A MEGA DROP I CAN DO THAT - EASILY!!!" *hopes on, ride goes to the top* "OMG, PAT!!! IM SOO SCARED" *ride drops* "AH AH AH - OH MY GOD!!!!!" Ranger: Ahhh, good old Ranger. I couldn't leave the Show without going on this bugger. It was fun. We had to wait for about 7 minutes to get on, which was pretty cool. After Ranger, we had lunch. I bought a Kebab for $8.50 - it was actually worth it. It tasted REALLY nice. When we finished having lunch, we played a couple of games, won a few prizes. Then we bought showbags, I bought about 6 - sorry, I couldn't help myself! After the showbags, we went and watched some of the Shows, we saw some of the NRL Players, watched the Wood Chopping. We laid down at the park for a bit. When it got dark, we started going on rides again. Hard Rock: First up was the Hard Rock. It'd made me pretty dizzy, infact very dizzy that I felt like I was going to throw up at the end of the ride. Anyway, we had to wait about 2 cycles before we could get on. The ride didn't spin quite fast, but swung quite fast. Rainbow: Rainbow was next on our list. The Rainbow still provides a lot of fun and airtime. It was at around 6:30 when we went on this ride so we had to wait for about 12 minutes to get on. Which to me, was still a pretty short amount of time to wait for a ride, considering that it was a ride at the Easter Show too. Speed: After Rainbow, we were off to Speed. I was lucky enough to be one of the riders that had to wait at the top for the ride to stop. Great view of the Easter Show from the top! My friend was sweating like hell and he was gripping onto the OTSR's like they were his only chance of survival. The ride provided A LOT of airtime. At the end of the ride, I had to choose - buy the photo for $10 or get more tickets. I obviously bought more tickets. 'Moove' Ferris Wheel (formerly known as the Ten Wheel or something) The view from this ride during the evening was AWESOME. Shame my camera died on me. It was about a 20 minute wait for the ride. Zipper: Zipper was closed during the day for some reason. So we had to go on it at night, which in my opinion was quite better than riding it during day time. We had to wait about 3 cycles before we could get on. Zipper was the last ride for the day. We made our way to the *I can't remember what it's called* Arena to watch the 'Xtreme Korruption' It was probably the BEST show I watched while I was at the Easter Show. We also watched the fireworks at 9pm and then made our way home afterwards. Over-all the Easter show on Thursday, the 12th of April was pretty good. Infact you can even say it was HEAPS good. It wasn't as crowded, we didn't have to wait to get on the rides for more than 2-3 cycles. The operators weren't mean, except for the guy who was doing the restraints on Hard Rock. He tried to turn the restrains on Hard Rock into a "Ball Cruncher 3000" or something. I took a few pictures of the rides, please excuse the quality as they were only taken with my phone and I had to resize them.

  2. It took me about 30 minutes to make this track. It's not very accurate though and I have lost the file as I reformatted my laptop. I will be working on a new one today and will post it when I get the chance.

  3. I think this thread should be deleted and the offending forum member given a first and final warning.
    Problem is....we don't know who filmed the video. We don't even know if he or she is a member of the forums. And if you were trying to imply that it was me well then sorry mate, you were wrong :)
