This is what searching the world for the best thrill rides looks like.
Ah i thought that was him that I met while working at AALARA

But give a damn good ride, gotta say the original boat is more exciting than the double sided suspended

I pray that Seaworld has done their research and have opted for a Suspended HUSS Top Spin, honestly they put the Wipeout to shame, until you try one, trust me on this (and I’m not saying it just cos it’s HUSS) they’re incredible machines, and far more enjoyable than Wipeout. There’s a reason why soo many exist in the world!

Yeah when I rode it at Ekka a couple of years ago it spun stupidly fast and towards the end I was wanting it to be over.
Do many riders actually enjoy it being operated in that manner? Do they sell many re rides on those days?
I think in the beginning it was probably operated at full speed for too long. I think with a mix of full speed and moderate, it gives a more enjoyable ride when you get those quick bursts of full speed without it making you sick. I think now, from what I saw at Sydney it doesn't go full speed at all during a cycle. Same goes with the Beast, too much spinning and you get people coming off sick and generally looking like it was torture, just gotta find that balance to make it enjoyable without making you sick and wanting you to ride again!

Glad you enjoyed your ride mate, I watched how the XXL's were operated in Europe and wanted to give similar rides, I think the excessive spinning just makes it a bit sickening! Great Waltzer video, wish it operated as fast as it did when it first arrived in Melbourne!

Symbolica at Efteling, probably one of the best dark rides i've ever experienced. Incredible!

Transformation underway.... Theyll probably delay the opening for this exciting new area too!

Interesting to see the SBF Tango Train is proving to be a nightmare... MACK through and through for a good Musik Express! It's like buying an Ali Baba over a Rainbow

Might have to get the Beast crew down to show them how its done, can unload/reload 20 people in under a minute! haha

True, and some European fairs are the perfect example of well maintained attractions. There are many around the 30 year mark that look and run better than even some park rides!

I'm still yet to experience a Shot 'N' Drop, and its a shame that they didn't keep the original artwork on it, but I hear theyre a fun tower, im not a fan of drop towers, couldn't bring myself to ride the Funtime 80m Hangover Tower, but i'm all for a Shot N Drop. The S&S Shots are a good time!

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.

The ride was 30 years old when closed! Rides only come with a 30 year shelf life. Give or take. It’s good to see the park remove the ride then to try and keep it going and the ride becoming not safe.
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.

Would love to see the original HUSS rides stay with a bit of TLC, but I don't think they fit with the new old-school funfair aesthetic that the park in trying to achieve with their new additions at the moment. Bit of a shame but hope they do find a new home where they are properly looked after. Ranger didn't look the greatest today unfortunately...
Might get shut down for this idea haha, but I always have thought that a 'breakdance-in-a-box' style ride would really suit one of our parks well (if not Luna Park, one of the Victorian parks maybe). Just imagine a Huss breakdance at top speed, with a bunch of awesome lighting/strobe effects and pumping music all in an enclosed space, and an awesome facade to top it off. Always just thought it would be a cool idea to see.
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 😂

It's a good thing, but when they go too hard on people who are being 150% compliant, its a bit ridiculous.
