Dc rivals is missing second train it isn’t in the bay next to station. Could be long lines for holidays

I was there on Thursday, and the line was about 45 minutes and Wild West Falls was a walk on the whole day.

Also superman only had one train as well.

Got some pictures of various control panels from Aussie world the other day.

Ooooh the Technical Parks' Typhoon 360... much nicer looking and taller than what Funfields got! 

Yeah it should be good

[Aussie world new rides update]

One of the ride ops said they are planing on opening it before Christmas.

 

They are also getting a few more decent looking flats along with a spinning mouse coaster.

[Aussie world new rides update]

I was at Aussie world today and I grabbed a few photos of some of various parts to the new inverting pendulum ride they are building.

What looks to be the control booth.

Parts of the gondola in some wrapping.

Some unknown parts.

Part of a sign and more unknown parts.

The main arm laying on the construction site.

I'm kinda with reanimated, that is both one of the lamest, and one of the coolest things I've ever seen. Full marks to the bloke, I guess it is pretty epi

I know this was posted ages ago but i actually have one of these panels

Yeah awesome lineup I reckon. Is the Deluxe Sizzler one of those new style PWS Sizzler rides from the UK? Or has it been in the country for a while?

From the photo on their website it looks like a standard one.

We had a fantastic Ekka this year on The Beast. Even pulling a record day for the ride on the Ekka public holiday. We finished pack up on Monday and are now on our way to Adelaide for the royal beginning August 31!

Cool, have fun

Need to correct myself there haha, the unit in WA (and I'm assuming all other units) are manufactured by S&W Rides of U.K. Unsure of what other rides they manufacture as I can't seem to find any information about them online.

yeah i found that info on a few pages but couldn't find anything on S&W rides anywhere

ok thanks

[Traveling fairs!]

Does anyone know who manufactures the storm ride ( not the coaster at sea world )

Looks to be the same company - just different names for each state. One is Melbourne, the other is Brisbane. If you look at the website, they are identical in layout - just different colours.

Ah, thanks 

[Traveling fairs!]

does anyone know why two different amusement companies have the exact same rides for hire ?

like Jubilee and all fun amusements have some of the same rides for hire

If you want your yearly carnival rides fix, a few showman are putting on a Supershow in the Brisbane area. Should be cheaper entry than the EKKA and Space Roller has already been confirmed as going. Unsure on dates or the exact line up, but might be interesting for those who aren't too keen on attending the EKKA.

really that sounds amazing. Do you know where I could find the details ?

I really hope that's not the full ride list, It's missing major rides like Space Roller, XXXL and a few others... I'll be very disappointed if that is the finalised lineup. By far the worst ride list for a capital show.

I contacted Goldenway amusements and they said that they are not bringing XXXL because they don't have enough space

I was waiting to get on EE and I was in the front row and the cast member at that control panel went to the back row to check harnesses so while she went down I pulled out my phone and took a pick. The control panel was very close I could literally touch it. 

oh nice
