I recon that the top-spin is the same size as the one at Butlins in Skegness. (which wasn't open last week).


Good report though!!!

looks like a really good event. As for the mini ripsaw, it attends neath funfair in september every year and i have been on this ride a few times in the past. Its not a bad ride to be honest and the operator does a good job making it spin constantly for 5 or 6 rotations at a time. Its worth a ride.

Looks a great fair there, didn't Mellors machines used to attend in the past though?

The Topspin is just another Fabbri Spaceloop like all the other horrible ones we have here, its just a newer model which is more compact with a different seating arrangement. I imagine it rides just as horrible as any of the others :lol:

Yeah the mellors used to attend, but i think their attention these days are more towards the new park that they are involved with.

The old American Adventure site, they are planning to develop it into a "Centre Parcs" kind of attraction rather than a theme park though :(
