Sounds interesting Ian. Not too sure exactly what the plans are as yet and what dates I'm looking at but will certainly have a think about it. Be in touch...

Can I ask how you guys are scoring this stuff? I wouldn't mind getting my hands on a piece of that little bit of history myself

Sounds like a really cool trip you have planned! Look forward to hearing all about it, I hope to get over and do the big East Coast thing next year. Will also have to try and get up to San Fran one of these days I guess Richard.

What update?? Where??

Yeah well what can I say, still have no idea why everyone went all weird when I sugested that we introduce ourselves... Strange how we'll all happily come on here and let fly at each other yet go all strange when at last we meet. LOL

Yeah those sunnies were mine :cool:

Hey Screammachine I was me of course! LOL No I was Mr. Shortarse with the white shirt that was with Liam when you rocked up... And how good were the dodgems! Just watching those several cycles before us was damn funny stuff... I actualy really still can't believe just how good a day I had at WL! I just have to say once again how good the entire weekend was, will definately have to be done again sometime soon. Gyro Swing opening day anyone??

Well Flea I'm pretty sure he jumped on Probe with DJKostya and I on that first ride of the day...pissed I only got to ride on the car with the dodgy view all day :-( That guy is indeed weird :-p Neil! Why on earth didn't you come find us? It wasn't like we were hard to spot and you should have rung Richard. Bummer eh. Hope you had a good day, post your pics...

Nah Dan, althought that would have been very nice this was much more involved and humourous than a simple Bounty Blow Out...and nope this we will keep for quite some time, if you ask me the $40 admisson was worth it just for this! Yeah, not talking about actualy trying to open the door...this guy was trying to climb over and around the closed door! Weirdo, then when he got out he headed straight to all the other cabins and opened the doors. Guess he wanted to play ride op??? I think the guys in the water were staff, if what I am led to believe happend, someone actualy fell or jumped from their raft mid-course...but again I don't want to speculate.

Just to clarify the Incident was on Snowy River, not Bounty's...the Bounty's was a much different, funny and more apealing to the eye one :-) Yeah well that looks to confirm what we thought and that is that someone fell out of the ride mid course and failed to return to the station...again this is not fact people, only a best guess! I am attempting to have this clarified as we speak. What the hell was the go with the chick? Whish we'd been there to see that! Should have just asked her "How is Malaysia these days" LOL Door Boy was this guy who felt the urge to try and get out of the Zodiac car on the ground without the door being opened...like WTF

Yes you know I bought a shirt. I could have done so earlier but was more fun to let you bug me about it all day :-) Oh yes I forgot about lunch. Lunch was really cool, easily worth the small sum of $12.50! I'm pretty sure Richard got a few pics. I can't believe we didn't do a group pic though, that was a bit slack of us all...

WOW, Richard, Joz and I were sure Liam would be the first on here with a post Now I'm not really one to do full blown trip report...so I won't! I will give you all a few highlights from the day however. We ended up with about a dozen all up, not a bad show but to all of you that were no shows, unfortunately you became the but of many jokes all day :-p Those in attendance were myself, Richard, Joz, Flea, Andy q69, Screammachine (+3), DJKostya, Muke and STDragon (+1). So yes where were all of you that said you were coming??? We kicked off the day at about 10:20am due to a late taxi (or was it contents of the taxi Richard?) which had in it some very important folks. We hit pretty much everything like Probe, Demon and BB many times during the day. A few including Joz and Richard got stuck on the BB lift at one time. DJ Kostya managed to clean up a bird on Demon’s boomerang :-) We all got drenched on Snowy, I'm sure that didn't used to happen! And of course we all got abused by Bounty's Revenge. There were also a few characters along the way like Dodgem Boy and Zodiac Door guy that made the day all that more amusing. But the one highlight of the day had to be without a doubt Bounty's Girl...however I think we'll have to take that one to the grave...that'll teach you not to come HAHAHA We also got to somewhat witness what we're pretty sure was a major incident on Snowy River in the afternoon which resulted on the ride being drained and shutdown for the rest of the day. Staff quickly cleared us out and were very hush hush about it so I won't speculate on here what it was all about. Still, added excitement none the less. All in all I think a pretty good day was had by all in attendance. Thanks to management for the deals and Liam and Richard for organising them. There are plenty of shirts still available and I think everyone should buy one. Last ride of the day was on Bush Beast As Richard said "Let's do it all again when Lunar Park closes." :-)

Hey Screamer, interesting to hear for studying Event management...perhaps our paths shall cross some day. I just got home from the Horden and RHI where I've been for the last few hours checking out the lighting and other technical aspects for Mardi Gras this year. Certainly looks like it should be quite impressive and I don't think you'll be dissapointed :-)

Does anyone have the ability to/can they poste this footage from the news? I missed it down here :-(

AH, yeah funny stuff... To my knowledge it don't close...I mean should you guys just want to go do your own thing that's fine but if you want to hook up that's about the best I can offer :-(

nobody likes a smart arse :-p

Hey Joz what was that photo supposed to be? Just looks like any other Deamon shot to me????? What has suddenly made everyone so sure the Coaster is going into DW? Not that I don't believe you, I'm sure if it was cheap enough they'd buy it...even if they were planning another coaster if you can pick up a bargain and an extra main attraction why not... Panthers is all good...just remember I'm looking towards midnight for getting out there though :-)

LOL Don't know why but I just senced a tone in your voice when you said Homosexuals and it made me giggle :-) No I have no problem with them or Mardi Gras at all but don't want to be in the city when its that heaving with people. Also to a lesser extent whilst I don't have any problem with it, it's not really my scene so don't particularly want to be completely surrounded by it. Its their night, let them enjoy it I say!

Wow Ian sounds pretty drastic! What are they actualy doing when you say they are destroying it? Can't wait for photos...

Well after reading Thunder's latest post over at Westcoaster that The Bolt is now being removed I thought I'd bring it over to TT :-) I can imagine plenty of folks will be documenting its removal for all of us to see?? Well I hope so anyway :-)

Yeah City will definately be a no go zone on Saturday night! I actualy got a phone call this afternoon to light one of the venues and gave it a very wide berth :-)

Thats great news. Just wondering does everyone want to post their Travel plans for the weekend so we know who is in town when?? I was thinking perhaps we could organise to all have dinner post WL on the Sunday at somewhere near by?? Also for anyone in town...do you have any thoughts on a late night drink probably at Panthers Saturday Night? I am working probably till 11 or 12ish but am certainly up for anything after that... Only a few days now :-)

Yes Yes I know where Rooty Hill is... My comment was more refering to what hotel are you staying at that happens to be in Rooty Hill...

Cool stuff Former. I always enjoy meeting those anonymous folks from the forum worlds :-)

So will we be seeing you on the 7th Former??
