Ekka 2006

[jacinta]

the ekka is just around the corner here are some of the new rides Sideshow Alley has been renamed to Moove Alley this year. Their site is mentioning five new rides: F1 Euro Slide Take the kids, or go it alone, as this racing-themed slide is the largest portable one of its kind in the world, at 8 lanes across, 60 metres long and 20 metres high. Extreme Speed Get in early, as with a gravity force of 3.6Gs, this giant rotating arm has proved extremely popular at other events. Space Roller Ekka is proud to house the only Space Roller ride in Australia, and with its five individual rotating arms, it's suitable for both adults and kids. No Limit (Furioso) Not for the faint-hearted, No Limit seats eight people at a time; and with a gravity force of 5Gs, is reputed to simulate an F1 11! Insanity This 40 metre tall ride is the tallest and fastest of its type in the world. Riders are harnessed in an open chair; the platform is lowered; and within one revolution the ride has reached in excess of 120 kilometres per hour! Adults entry tickets are $21 this year.
