HussRainbow87

You’d be surprised. I’ve seen some HUSS rides in horrible conditions been brought back to look brand new. Yes it’s about money at the end of the day, but these rides can be brought back to running better than some new attractions that are around today.

This Huss Break Dance is celebrating 31 years this year. Also celebrating 31 years this year is the Huss Circus Circus, refurbished completely in 2018. Yes as people know I’m a massive Huss fanboy, these things are built stronger than any ride on the market today. It’s simple really, you put money and care into a machine then it’s going to have a lifespan exceeding 30 years. Our Huss Ranger has been running since 1988, and is still operational, as is Wittingslows Huss Pirate which is from the 70s. I was moreso commenting on the fact that they kept the boat and used it as theming, whereas it probably could have been sold to another park to be refurbed and worked again.

We just need this here, and ill be happy, although the almost 9-minute ride did almost make me pass away haha

Agreed! Ranger would look fantastic at Funfields or something, and if a park already has a HUSS ride they know what theyre in for.

It certainly is the closest thing to a Zierer, but you're right, they would have pushed the theming to a more personalised look, and some of the Zierers ive seen in Europe were insanely well themed! Now it's time for the park to either give some love to the Break Dance and Troika, or find them nice homes within Australia, preferably Victoria haha

The fact that they did that to a HUSS Pirate still offends me!

Luckily AK Rides don't make park models of Sky Flyers... leave that to the epic Funtime models!

Agreed. Travelling rides do not belong in parks.

Lol.... agreed

No issues with the sun as it was a HUSS ride and sunstroke and sunburn was totally worth it 😂

There is an option in place for Sky Flyer to maybe become permanent... but who knows what will happen in regards to that

So are they training their staff to properly manage shaded areas. That will look good on a resume.....

As much as i'm team HUSS TOP SPIN, this is still hard to see... Soo glad they spent all that money not long ago on new bearings etc. I'm literally done with that place, it's a never again for me unfortunately, nothing there for me to want to visit, and as much as I didn't rate the Wipeout as a ride, it was incredibly iconic, and fun to watch.. and the sounds from those engines will be missed :-(

Teaser video makes it look like they bought a Funtime 80 Metre Sky Flyer haha

I honestly think it has a lot of life left in it, it just needs the TLC it deserves. Shame LPS aren't giving the Spider any love whatsoever, its a crime to see a Break Dance in that kind of condition, because if anyone here has ridden one in Europe, you'll realise why they really are the most successful machine in Europe, the atmosphere is something i've never EVER experienced on a travelling ride, especially not in Australia.

Only thrill ride? Are you forgetting the classic HUSS machine Enterprise? 😋 Still wish it would go to a showman, but its just soo big, and hard to move that nobody wants to take the risk. I think it would do fantastically at a place like Funfields, especially that they have experience with HUSS, so it would fit nicely down here in Victoria. Can only hope, but with Voodoo, it would never happen. Maybe Wittingslow should buy it back, come full circle and bring back an original purchase of theirs from Expo 88

The Luna Park Zierer is indeed March's and the Aussie World one is a model from Europe, complete with a backdrop! im thinking maybe the MM is OCS Fun? Who knows, they done a good job of ruining that ride too

ok...got excited for a minute, but its a PRESTON & BARBIERI Swinger....

Hold on a minute... that looks like a ZIERER!

Agreed KMG belong in the travelling world, even people who work for KMG agree.

Huss Top Spins are incredible, but probably not necessary with the public, not many would realise they're different to the Vekoma rides. In saying that, the 2 that I rode last year in Europe were incredible, and i'm not just saying that because I love Huss. I know Movie World execs came and looked at the Beast when it debuted at Melbourne Show, but also would be another pointless idea seeing as Claw is down the road.

Can’t say I really agree, there is far too much dead space in the park and could be utilised far better. The Enterprise is just not given proper justice as you cannot stand in front of it properly. Could have been moved over after the Galaxy removal and used that corner curve, giving space either side for other rides. The placement of the new SBF coaster is terrible.

Shame they didnt splurge and get a Zierer.... will still look good in the area if it goes up there

@Jobe Glad the kids enjoyed the Enterprise... Can't really go past classic HUSS, agree about it needing some TLC, it was down for a while, while they waited for parts from HUSS, but glad its back up and running, it just needs better lighting on the sweeps, the middle cover and better placement in the park... it just seems like such an afterthought in its position.

Joylands Tug and Power Surge are there for the holidays
