Yes this the right place to post it

twin flip.......hmmmm Great news, sounds exciting! love TPA, they are great ops

can someone tell me what a Moser Twin Flip is, im looking at you hussy

try this link http://www.flatrides.com/Ride%20Index%20Pa...s/twinflip.html

The Twin Flip looks like a nice peice of Material. Can't wait to try it out. Thanks for the info! Screammachine

Yeah,same,cant wait to try out all the rides at the easter show,been so logn sicne i last went.........

The 2005 Easter Show website says that 4 new rides will be debuting. Hard Rock Techno Jump Twin Flip...... but what could the 4th ride be??

Is the Hard Rock the same one that is hired out LUna Park at the moment?

Yes...... we don't have any other ride here called Hard Rock, and it is NEW for Sydney because it debuted at the Adelaide Show in 04

Egh! EGH! That twin flip thing looks like KMG Experience! Is it like that, anyone know? Oooooh I certainly hope so, although the KMG one would be better.

Yeah its similar, Experience is much nicer looking, but both dont really do anything looks wise for me

While on topic of carnivals, can anyone tell me the name of that spinning coaster that travels around? I can't remember its name, and we've been having an argument. It's fairly inappropriately named, like Mad Mouse or Crazy Mouse or something. It is a boring sort of ride with the spins determined by the ride not random chance. Caroline

The name of the spinning coaster that is owned by TPA shows, and FJF Amusements, has 2 names: Crazy Coaster - used here in Melbourne, and Adelaide Crazy Mouse - used in Sydney and at the Ekka Im not too sure why they change the coaster, and mouse for some shows, but they have the letters and they interchange. And yes, I must admit, it doesnt spin as much as it should, nor as fast as they do like in Germany, but none the less, its still pretty fun chris

Meh, seemed pretty boring to me when I rode it. Personally, I mean, I thought Chaos was better. And the massive queue lines for the Crazy Mouse annoy me too.

Well im sorry, I think I should ring up TPA and tell them that you don't like it, so they can purchase something else that meets your standards

Ok, that would be good. Do you in your infinite wisdom oh wise one have their phone number. I ask this non sarcastically as we all know that you like to ring up these ride companys to pretend you are "in" with the carny crowd (why you'd want to I don't know). They remind me of an X-Files episode called "Home" (4x03).

Jeez Huss, just because his opinion is different to yours. IMO the ride should start spinning at the start, rather then half way through the second switch back, that would make it more interesting.

I also think that the ride should spin more, its not very special, but it is FUN, not thrilling or exciting, just a bit of fun... and lol, Neb, I know more about the industry than you would, so you keep on being a smart a**....

The X-Files gave me nightmares as a kid. Especially that creeeepy song. I think I remember one about carnie folks. On the topic of the spinning wilde' mouse, I would prefer the chairs that look outwards, they look a bit more intense. Mhe Chaos was pretty cool.. I saw it doing its rounds in the South of Sydney somewhere on the way back from the south coast. My fav. flatride would have to be The Claw at the Eastershow. Screammachine

Oh another Claw fan hey. Go the Claw. And yes HussRainbow, you would know more about carnival rides (er, the "industry")than me, that is to be expected, I never denied that.

I must say im more excited to see Zipper now, more than Rainbow at the moment! Go the Zipper! that ride is the sh*t! I love it

Hopefully 2005 will shape up to be a good year for the shows, we've already got the new Rainbow on its way, Twin Flip, and maybe an Inverter heading down shortly, so lets hope the shows pick up, and have a turn out like they used to be. I really hope Zipper returns to the Melbourne show, as last year was strange not seeing it.

I thought the, er, carny families, were having enough trouble with paying back all their money that they used to buy rides with in the first place. Wouldn't buying more rides and putting them into a market, which I daresay doesn't really need more rides be a bit silly?

how on earth can you say it is an industry that doesn't need more, come on, it's just like parks getting new rides. People want to see new rides, not just the same selection year after year!. This is the first time in ages that we've seen this amount of rides come to Australia. You don't have to appreciate it, but people like me do, so you think what you want, but it doesn't really matter what you say, the industry will continue to expand...... pfft..
