    Just got back from the Ekka tonight. The Space Roller was having all sorts of issues, some major and others not so much. About 5 of the lights from the ride fell off and one of them hit someone. This

And you were the only one who saw it huh? And not one person other than you of course, thought maybe this is something worth reporting somewhere. No one, even you, thought that this should be reported to a media outlet, or posted on Facebook etc. 

And of course it happens at a time that not one single guest in the area had a phone or camera handy to get any evidence. 

Until you can back it up with some sort of proof or some kind of evidence of anything even remotely similar happening, please take your bullshit elsewhere.

How does one get hit by a singular piece of light? (Thought it was 5, but anyways....)

Is it similar to when you open the curtain first thing in the morning and get bashed in the eyeballs by the sun?

Honestly I don't know. The girl came off crying saying she was hit by something, and there was a cracked light sitting on the base of the ride. This is one of those small flashing, colourful lights im talking about. Not something massive. I was more concerned about the ride getting jammed at the top.

And this happened at about 9:30 or so, so there wasn't many people around that were just filming the ride break down. Sorry if this doesn't sound very believable :(

Where do I report something like this?

So... First it was 5 lights that fell off and hit someone 

Then it was a piece of light (whatever that means)

Now it's a falling xmas tree string light..

Next... oh, a spotlight shone in a girls eyes and she was momentarily blinded for 0.1 seconds

A photo would have worked and posting here.

Sorry. I didn't really think much about taking photos of it. I contacted Ekka about it, so hopefully I can get a response back about what happened.

I'm sorry but if it did happen the ekka would of addressed it and told the public just in case people saw.

Did anyone do Spook or Hollywood Horrors? What's your opinion of it compared to fright nights and Scooby Doo?

Hollywood looks ok. Don't bother with spook. Did it last year and it's severely lacking in content. I mean sure it's a traveling ride literally on the back of a truck but I'd aim it maybe at 10-15yrs. 

If I wasn't so sick and sore I'd be going in tomorrow to do HH

HollyWood Horrors is great. Pretty much like the movie world mazes, except for me, i found HH a bit scarier ad more interesting. Spook is pretty much just a few animatronics and some loud noises. HH is definitely worth the $10.

But how safe are the lights?

So after the discussions in this thread and some chats on and off forums, I took on everyone's feedback and decided that a new logo wouldn't hurt. It was made years ago and admittedly I have zero artistic talent and while that hasn't improved much at all, I did really like the logo that Ben designed and posted in here. 

So, with that said I want to say a public thank you to @Slick, @Gazza and the others off-forum who provided feedback and suggestions on this and this is what I plan to use going forward, which seems to look much better/more professional than the old one.
