  1. It costs money to pull it down and take it away.
  2. Ahh ol' Bounty's. Some weeks I hated getting stuck there, other weeks I loved it. I think back now, and I liked it. Doing up the seat belts when it went from a big ride to a small ride was probably the only real pain in the arse. Otherwise the old faithful customers did them all up like good patrons do. It NEVER screeched like that when I knew it.
  3. Ahhh Nightshifter.... Memories... There was a knob if ever I've read one...
  4. For those young ones that may not remember it, it was where the Balloons ended up... on the left hand side when walking into Gold Rush. I was up there in the last week of March and it had gondolas then.
  5. All I can hear is blah blah blah... As for going near the place in the holidays... (Or Qld for that matter for us New South Welshmen) Are you out of your friggen mind?
  6. You were one crazy mofo Brother Bussy. I can't believe you used to sit on the moving Demon train for example...
  7. Drove past today and it's even clearer than ever. Don't think there's a tree anywhere...
  8. In the case of moi, apply on their website. I think the Qld parks do it through an agency though...??? Qld'ers? Hadn't heard anything after a week or so, so rung up and they went ahh ****, can you come in this arvo?
  9. Ride operator jailed over backpacker plunge December 12, 2006 12:35pm Article from: AAP A RIDE operator has been jailed for almost three years after a backpacker suffered brain damage in a 20m plunge because she was not properly secured into the ride. Steve Jay Clark, 43, was found guilty in Cairns District Court yesterday of causing grievous bodily harm to English tourist Lucy Keen, 27, on May 29, 2004. The court was told Clark was hungover on the day of the accident in which Ms Keen plunged 20m to the ground. Clark failed to properly secure her in a flying fox ride at Cape Tribulation in Queensland's far north. The ride is a carrier suspended on cables that enables riders to enjoy a sensation akin to flying. Prosecutor Angus Edwards said Ms Keen required 24-hour care and wasn't likely to recover from her injuries. He said Clark had never expressed remorse for the injuries inflicted on Ms Keen. The jury took one hour to find Clark guilty. He was sentenced to two years and eight months jail, with a non-parole period of 16 months. Ms Keen's parents, who travelled from England to be at the trial, embraced and cried as the verdict was read out.
  10. The drop was 61 metres. The tower 67 metres.
  11. I try and stick my head in and check things out every now and then Richo old son.
  12. Hence why shoes were compulsory as much as knobs whinged about it...
  13. That wouldn't have been when little kiddy fell in would it?
  14. I'll let Bussy say if that's him or not DJ Good thing there was no unloader standing outside the opera... ahhh I mean behind the exit gate... at the time. Could have been a little messy.
  15. How about rocking up to work one Sunday morning to see the train wedged firmly in the boomerang? Apparently it happened on a test cycle on the Saturday night, and remained there until Sunday afternoon. It often got stuck at the bottom of lift 2 as well as on it. Not as bad as the cable snapping on Probe I guess, hey Channel 7? Good times hey Bussy?
  16. "I'll get you out of here fast... Superman fast!" Sorry couldn't help myself...
  17. What the frig were you doing up at that hour today Bussy you imbecile?
  18. I didn't think Humphrey could speak?
  19. Ummm... Yeah... brother... ok... You can tell us it was you Pat, that's ok old fella. Humphrey the raving shirt lifter filmed at Wonderland early 2003 I think it was... Beastie wasn't open then though.
  20. Things didn't change over the next 4 years either brother... Welcome.
  21. Blow it out your arse Wally World. I thought the smilies and the just kidding made it obvious I was just mucking around. You've been here 5 secs... Don't tell me to chill out. I've got a lot of time for you and what you're doing with your site and the amount of work you're putting in but I could turn off you very quickly brother. You've got the wrong idea, try again. P.S. Joz is correct.
  22. I knew there were at some stage... Stick that in your pipe and smoke it!! Just kidding, but you'll learn to listen to me more often now won't you???...
  23. Apologies if I am incorrect, but I'd have sworn there were balls in there at some stage. Ahh well, who cares? I do know the ball room you speak of but I also thought there was a section of Silly Stix that once did. Stuff it. Apologies Astro.
