I know this is not a theme park but it is a fair The ride line up is the same as last year with the addition of the Space roller this year.

So true.

Just looking at the Ekka and Sydney ride lists. Dang I wish we got that 9-D cinema attraction in Melbourne, would be an interesting and diffrent attraction to me. Doesn't appear on the ride page, so I don't think it's coming down south... damn.

Melbourne's ride lineup is pretty average(year-in, year-out... pretty much the same boring rides.. but I still love riding a few of 'em). Only two regular coasters, Crazy and Taipan(both also go to Sydney) and pretty much the same rides as the Sydney show, with only one or two diffrences, and Sydney generally having a few more rides(including that 9-D cinema).

Our Entertainment lineup, thanks to the still very new enclosed "Entertainment Dome" showstage, is great though. I loved the Masterchef live show last year(Masterchef returns this year, but now in it's own pavillion), and this year apparently a Deal Or No Deal "Live Experience" is new here as well. Beats a Rikki Lee Concert anyday of the week!

Oh yea, for those of you playing along at home, the Crazy Coaster has been repainted. It's no longer purple. From memory it's now red. I think the cars may have changed slightly, but I don't really remember.

There is only six weeks for perth and Melbourne show.

Don't we did it... Badly computer generated fly over which starts with the operator clicking the video with a mouse pointer and then only one lot of spray and some bubbles... Was a waste of $10... Spent more time looking at how close the seats got the the sides than the screen.

Interesting to see that Space Roller will not be at Melbourne Show this year (making the trek to Perth instead) I do look forward to seeing some pics of Perth show. And Crazy Coaster had it's cars repainted in 2012 before the rest of the ride was painted orange, which was done just before it's stint at Luna Park Melbourne.

Track was still purple at LPM though.

They properly decided that science they have to go to Adialade they problem thought they would go all the way. Besides they can get away with chargeing more than Melborne so more money

Colliric - Masterchef was not at the Melbourne show last year - you are confusing it with the My Kitchen Rules Live show that was hosted by Karen Martini.

Well it is this year! So forgive my confusion... Lol! Yes I remember that it was MKR now. Probably posted about it here last year! Enjoyed it alot. I wonder if their securing of Masterchef is the reason why Seven is offering a new Deal Show in the Dome this year? Edited August 19, 2013 by colliric_855

Brisbane

More than 400,000 people will come together at the 2013 Royal Queensland Show (Ekka) in Brisbane from August 8 to 17 to see the best of Queensland with more than 10,000 animals, 23,000 competition entries, a smorgasbord of award-winning food and wine and hours of free family entertainment.

Sydney

The Sydney Royal Easter Show is Australia’s largest annual event, attracting close to 900,000 people each year. It is a celebration of Australian culture, from our rural traditions to our modern day lifestyles, providing unique experiences for everyone.

[colliric_855]

Melbourne was 500,000 in 2010. Usually hovers around that half million mark. Attendance was expected to be lower last year, due to shitty weather all 11 days. They predicted 460,000. Not sure what the final figure actually was.

There is a 9-D cinema for the perth royal show owned by l & l Osborne showtime amustments

Actually 400,000 is the inclusive figure. Doubt the Perth Show would draw more than the Melb one, and as I said, ours is 500,000.

Why are you saying 800,000 when the quote clearly says 400,000?

I thought it ment 400,000 from the city and 400,000 from the country. I was wrong Edited August 20, 2013 by Tim Dasco

Did the crasy coaster used to go to the perth royal show because I saw this photo of me as a kid at the show and anybody know what year.
