GladiatorFanKyle Posted June 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 I think you are talking about Atmosfear! The UK's only technical park loop fighter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GladiatorFanKyle Posted June 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2014 I rode it at the goose fair twice and I really enjoyed Atmosfear! My only thing I find a bit disappointing is that when the gondalas are unlocked it just rocks back and forth compared to rock rage which does a 360 when unlocked other than that Atmosfear is a wicked ride!

TPJames Posted June 8, 2014 Report Share Posted June 8, 2014 Thought I would share a little video of a ride I rode yesterday at a small funpark near me. This ride barely ever goes to the big fairs and sticks to the small funparks but is certainly one of my favourite rides I have ever ridden! It is certainly a bit boisterous as you get whipped round the sides a bit and hung upside down for ages(feeling like you are going to fall out) but it was truly an amazing experience! Here is my little video(sub my youtube channel ) Hope you enjoyed it's the roller paige 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TPJames Posted June 8, 2014 Report Share Posted June 8, 2014 that's bloody trippy how the hell does that work probably makes you feal mega sick It's actually way more fun than it looks! When you're actually riding it, you don't have a clue where you are actually going, you just get thrown in all directions and hung upside down etc. It actually looks much worse from the outisde than when riding it but it is an amazing experience.

MattyMoo Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 You wouldn't have missed out on the price that much, cheap day Friday it was still £2.50! Gave a great ride though Cheeky buggers, the signs on the road said 99p for all rides Adam P 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paige Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 I remember a few years ago this huge-ish fair came to my town and I remember this one ride that was so painful. It was like a waltzer, but the actual platform or whatever the waltzer cars spun along- not the cars individually, but the whole thing- went completely vertical! (I don't know if I'm explaining this very well) All you had were lap bars and I was quite a bit smaller than I am now (but I was above the height restriction!) and I felt as though I was going to fall out- it seemed like a total death trap to me! I know that was an awful explanation but has anyone else ever ridden a ride like this/knows of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pluk Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 Sounds like a superbowl? Not much of a fan either. Where was that? I prob went if it was our way. You go to the little one in Pitsea last week? Was small but alright. paige 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GladiatorFanKyle Posted June 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 A lot of the superbowls in the UK arent wonderful :/ Bagnalls superbowl and Danters superbowl are two of the best superbowls in england! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You go to the little one in Pitsea last week? Was small but alright. Yes! That's the one! It was a few years ago, but at Glouscester Park (before it all got built over), fairly large and you just purchased a wristband. I heard there was one there, was considering going as it's literally down the road, but it didn't seem that great, so I didn't bother . How much was it?

pluk Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 Yes, I went to that! Think it only came the once and had the starflyer in the middle. Last weeks one was £2.50 a ride, only a few things there but a bit of fun none the less! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paige Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 I can't remember the starflyer if that was the one . Some people at school were saying how they went, didn't seem like anything special though! Sometimes we get decent fairs, but most are pretty naff. Did you go to the one at Northlands last year? I went and the man ripped me off at the fun house, charged me £2.00 when he initially said it was £1.00, but when he saw I only had a note, he decided it was £2.00 . Things like that have really put me off fairs in general, but that's Essex for you I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GladiatorFanKyle Posted June 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 The cambridge midsummer fair starts next week! It's on from the 18th till the 23rd and the rides that should be going are Bugg's Altittude booster and Oblivion Freakout and Parrish's extreme and Thurstons extreme and much much more!

TPJames Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 Good news..... Or not but the UK is getting another Mondial Capriolo (also know to many as a torture device haha) it will be owned by Darren Matthews and shall be coming from france! Here is a video! http://youtu.be/7DKDkTaXEpc Just going back to the Airmaxx, some of you have been asking me if I can find out where it will be touring as 2xtreme is no longer in the UK(at global village in dubai) and it is now the ONLY mondial capriolo in the UK. I can confirm that it is currently touring in England at the moment as I have contacted the matthews family and hope to be able to provide all of those enquiring a line up of where it will be going. The family themselves own quite a few funfair rides including; a tivoli remix extreme orbiter, a kmg freak out, a jump and smile, a crazy mouse rollercoaster as well as others which are currently touring. The family tend to go to festivals, whether it is a music or a balloon festival etc. you tend to find them there. However, I have contacted them and will be hoping to get you the touring dates to all of you who wanted them. I will edit my posts when I have dates below: Sonisphere Festival- 4th-6th July at Knebworth Park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what ive heard its still in dubai BUT its still owned by a uk showman and will be returning at some point!! 2xtreme is still in dubai along with TopBuzz 2 and take off with a couple of others. It is still under the ownership of Walter murphy but is rumoured to not be coming back until 2015 at the earliest due to it staying longer in dubai than originally planned. However, if it does return, which is unlikely, it will be back in time for hull and a couple of fairs around then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.S217 Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 there is a fair near mine and by near I mean out my front door it consists of a ghost train an orbiter dodgems and a few other things unsure what. It says Davis and Son's so I may have been to it last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 Went past a fair in my town today which is currently being put up, it opens on the 3rd. I've always had really bad fairs to be honest, and never had this fair before, we had the other fair about 2-3 weeks ago. Unsure of the lineup at the moment but they have an X-Flight which I've always wanted to ride. Hopefully I will get down there at some point  Link - http://www.johndavisfunfairs.co.uk/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GladiatorFanKyle Posted July 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 Ah the x flight! John davis bought that from france last year its a really good freakout and worth a ride sometimes it gives a poor cycle but its usually good!
