Photos or I don't believe it???

I will get a picture today... and wait for Ash to verify it. Can confirm... with pics that 2 trains running, both with spinning seats.

I didn't even consider that. I have no idea.

Had 3 rides on this today. What a unique experience. Not too much snow down on the flats of Thredbo, but had some falling while riding this. It is a fun coaster, just a pain when there is a slower person in front of you. They auto break to within 25m of each other. I imagine the lines will be quite long next week with NSW school holidays, but longest wait today was 25 minutes.

Not sure if this has been posted anywhere else, but is anyone excited about an Alpine Coaster coming to Thredbo, or know any more details about its construction??? https://www.facebook.com/share/p/8AXAVH5HwTvVKfb1/?mibextid=xfxF2i

I have heard Paradise Country lost a lot of animals. There is a fair chance that has a lot to do with them not reopening.

Would highly recomend riding backwards.

Was dissapointing to see that the people who lined up for hours weren't looked after and they opened the 2nd gate at the same time.

So... who is going Friday and does anyone have a code for cheaper passes?

Just wondering if there was ever a reason given for Rivals bellying out? Seems like this was kept pretty quiet out of the media. Was it the result of something rather sinister?

What ever happend to CAOS?

It was a remark from one of the ride attendents at the Ekka, Huss. Thought he may be more reliable then the Dippin Dots guy. Great find Luke and interesting info Spotty. Are you able to divulged what other rides will be coming to Australia?

I heard a rumour that 'The Beast' paid for itself in 12 months. Surely there is a market to bring in a few more big ticket rides portable rides.

Does anyone actually reasearch and look into travelling rides and wish there were some bought to Australia?

Sorry to bump and old thread, but does anyone know anything about these new travelling rides?

This gives Dreamworld another 6 months to announce something new, clawing back even more season ticket holders.

I miss the Pizzas. I thought they were great.

I do like the Micro Brewery idea. Could also be another function area.

Anyone think there may be a soft opening tomorrow?

Appreciate the insight guys. Always interesting to hear from someone on the inside. As a kid growing up all I ever wanted to do was win the lotto so I could buy a few portable rides and join the carny circuit.

With the Brisbane Show coming up, I hope it hasn't affected too many businesses. I will guess we wait and see. I did also read that the guild had gone to the government for support.

So because I love bumping old threads so much, I just wanted to ask if there was anyone on this page that is part of the travelling fair community? I read an article about there being no insurance company left that will back the amusement industry for public liability. Has this started affecting any of the travelling shows yet, and what do you think will be the ultimate outcome? I am not a reporter or anything, I am just curious because I fear for an industry that I love so much. This is a link to just one article that I read. https://www.insurancebusinessmag.com/au/news/breaking-news/inability-to-obtain-insurance-forcing-ride-operators-to-close-shop-256473.aspx

What is social distancing? Staff are trying hard though.

I went to Wet N Wild on Friday. Very little was open, and the crowd was still quite large so wait times were long. We left after 3 slides and headed for White Waterworld. All attractions were opened which meant the crowds were spread out and we got most slides done in under 3 hours.
