[TURBO]

The Turbo is Currently sitting in a warehouse in Queenbeyan just outside of Canberra. There is no news right now on the state of the ride, or when it is expected to return. From what I have heard (unconfirmed) the ride is basically refurbished but why it isn't travelling I wouldn't know. But it is probably due to staff shortages which caused Bell's Thunderbolt ride to retire from the Show Circuit earlier this year (apart from doing the capitals)

Thanks for that. You wouldnt have any video footage would you?

[TURBO]

Hey there. Did the beloved Turbo ever make it back in to side show alley? Has anyone got any video footage of it in full swing. I can only find one very short clip. Would love to see and even better ride again.

['Waltzer' Carnival Ride]

^^Thanks for letting us know. I reckon that's what the carnival atmosphere should be like, I'm gonna try hit the UK in a few years time. (Europe > America) Definitely an experience as opposed to just being spun around for five minutes, if I wanted that I'd go elsewhere. Wouldn't have any decent videos of carnivals over there? Most of the stuff on Youtube is crap. Thanks!

No problem. Could have got a good shot of the Waltzer last week. Should be another fun fair in my areas at the end of May, will get one for you then.

Hi there, Just joined this forum. You are right the Waltzer is a fantastic, old ride. I live in the UK now where they appear at every fun fair, always with at least 2-3 guys riding the platform to ensure the cars spin like crazy. The Brisbane EKKA used to have 2 similar rides but we are talking back in the 70's. The Whirl-a-Whirl and the Tilt-a-Whirl. Both basically the same as each other with the later having no canopy so open to the elements. If you ever get over to the UK you will be sure to be able to ride one they really are fantastic. cheers
