I dont kniow about all of you guys but to be honest show rides really scary me. Think about it they're dismantled and rebuilt every few days so the ppl doing it must get pretty sick of doing it. And some of the ppl running some of the rides look a bit dodgy to me. Not all of them just some. They also make so really loud and unusual noises which send chills down my spine. To be honest the only show ride I feel truly safe on is the jumping castle because its nice and soft . At least in a theme park the rides are perminent and have maintinence crews looking after them constantly. I mean look at the BB they must be doing some major maintinence on it for it to be out for this long.

Not entirely true their Richard I remember (it's probably been decommissioned now) a looping coaster that was at darling harbour and the royal easter show one year called the python loop. (I think) It was really small with a small loop. I remember riding it and it was really really rough.

You also need to remember that they have to prove that the million is actually in one of those bottles. How they r gonna do that I have no idea but they have too or it would seem too shifty.

I've always liked the look of it as well. But my favourite would have to be poltergeist/ jokers jinx. I do know that the texas tornado used to travel on the show circuit in Germany. Can anyone confirm this?

At Euro Disney thhe Indy is a backwards coaster. Which ain't bad

There was a ride at the canberra show this year like the rainbow. Me and my friends went on it. It was a bit ruff but worth it! I think it was called the Music Maker or something like that.

Sad very very sad

I think in general Disney does a pretty good job themeing their parks. They've been in the business for quite a while. Walking into a Disney park is like being transported to another world. If you have a look at the book Imagineering which is availible at Disneyland to buy it shows how much detail and effort goes into their parks. From models to 3d graphics everything is detailed and well palnned. Well thats my opinion anyway feel freee to disagree.

IMO the best themed roller coaster is Space Mountain at Euro Disney. The fact that your following the journey to the moon, shot out of a cannon just, for me, spell awesome fun

The way wonderlands going with its repainting of Transylvania we could see the thunderbolt painted fluro pink behind the old action man arena. Maybe I should now change my signature but we'll have to wait and see. This is what was posted on the dreamworld website: After 20 years of service and 9 million passengers the Thunderbolt is now closed to make way for new attractions! Details will be released over the coming year. So it's definately going.

Have you got any room in your suitcase for me????

I'm not a big fan of drop rides I prefer flat rides that go upside down or have a bit more to it than just one drop. I don't mind the virtual reality movies that you watch and your seat moves with the movie as well.

Okay we're all coaster nuts here but what i wanna know is what everyones favourite flat style ride is? Mine would have to be the Bermuda Triangle at Seaworld that ride was awesome. I remember riding it when it first opened and I loved it.

There was actually a coaster at what is now Six Flags Belgium that got stuck on the loop. I remember seeing it on the news. I have the article in my room somewhere I'll see if i can find it. Robb Alvey even has information on it and so do several web pages. Some even have photos. The coaster was called Mavre when it got stuck. It is now enclosed.

I thought i'd heard it thanks thunder. Do you know how the fire started?

This may just be my imagination but didn't TBB have a small fire on it a while back and had a small section replaced just after the second drop i think it was. I dunno it may have just been a rumour that I heard. It doesn't surprise me that someone could have been hurt on TBB i've banged my knees against the square metal box at the front of each car. But on the flip side someone could have already had a condition and just ignored the warning sign. Back pain etc. TBB would definatley agrivate old injurys like this.

I've just got back from Wollongong having been away for a few days and my cousins live just over the hill from Jamberoo Rec. Park. We drove past it on the way to pick up my cousins g/f and I noticed alot of digging going on. My aunt said it was for a new ride (She said $6million but I think not). Does anyone know anything? I do know that about a month ago the admin office burnt down (Right before tax time how convienient!) and maybe it's the replacement building but there seems to be way too much land cleared for it to be for that.

IMO The park is still deciding what to do with the beastie. The LWL has been closed for quite some time now and nothing has happened to it. They must be either trying to decide where to re-locate it or what to do with it.

Yeah same sort of thing

Skydiving was okey i guess but cause it was tandem I had no control if you know what i mean. for example when we were about to jump the other dude was standing on the edge and my feet were dangleing over the side. Real freaky stuff. You can't look down until the cord has been pulled cause when the parachute deploys theres a sudden jolt which could cause serious damage to your neck so theres no real view until your slowly floating downwards. And my landing was particularly harsh because the other guy was way taller so he fell ontop of me and that hurt! The giant swing was cool. You freefall then just swing backwards and forewards its the best feeling ever! (Just a note i am scared of heights but i'll still do anything )

Well so far in my thrill seeking life i've: Bungee Jumped I've been on that bungee bullet thing The giant swing in Cairns and i've tandom skydived once (and never again)

Yeah the fireworks shop used to be out front. The whole place has always seemed really dodgey to me so i've never been. Hey Richard is that a pic of you on the wild mouse?

It's actually illegal to post pictures/ text without the authors permission or without referencing this is Plagerism (I know thats not spelt right :? ) If you look on RCDB where my pics are from you'll see that they are copyrited in Duane's list of contributors.

No they aren't his pics they're mine!!!!!!!!!! :evil: :evil: :evil: the bush beast and demon are my pics from rcdb. If U wanna check they are credited to me and i have them at home on my bedroom wall. Next time site who's pics they are. Especially if they belong to someone on this site. Not happy Jan!!!!

i'd have to agree with Richard on this one simply bacause the wooden tracks have to be far more stable than the steel tracks to prevent it from buckling and snapping so they would have to be much stronger than a steel coaster
