Space Roller - James Mellors - Nottingham Bonfire Fair 2008

[hasolen]

My favourite ride as I always go on it every year at Mildura Show!!!

[LordKinoda]

This ride is sick. I loved it. Rode it a few years ago at the Florida State Fair.

[TheVloging]

Do they own top buzz now?

[heinz551]

@TheVloging Top Buzz is owned by Alex Crow. Mellors sold Space Roller at the end of 2008. I'm not sure where it is now. Over seas more than likley. Shame realy, because its a good ride. They probably got rid of it to make way for the giant wheel or something I don't know.

[TheVloging]

@heinz551 oh right, ive been in the paybox for space roller.

[TheVloging]

Whats the song please?

[meishalaurafionax]

[TheBrookeRadical]

[245thegreat]

this ride was the best top scan.. nothing matches the mellors operating way of this

[tidgytod]

i agree and it is/was a amazing machine

[xxlinseyxx1]

@245thegreat james mellors is my 1st cosin

[245thegreat]

you must be glad

[dannybieszke]

top buzz 1 is back it is in a yard in wales

[adamjmedia]

Such a good attraction, but personally not a patch on Top Buzz 2

[pjw1993]

Why's that? I love Top Buzz aswell but generally its less impressive than Space Roller. the flash and Platform are smaller as well as having less lights, but I must admit its still a great machine, and I hope we'll see those 2 great spotlights back it had at Hull in 2006.

I'm looking forward to seeing Top Buzz advance over the next year or so, apparently Alex will be making changes to the platform, as well as the new paybox and a rumoured new sound system :D

[nhsven]

Glad its gone, not a scratch on TB2

[tidgytod]

yeah i think Space Roller was showing its age a bit

[rockandroller360]

Its gone now to switzerland, Crows Top Buzz 2 will be taking its place.

[DeathByPurpleUnicorn]

was this ride any fun, was it painful, scary etc? I want to go on it this year because it looks fun...

[scarley1]

its not scary at all it depends what you like, i personally love it because its propperly like your flying, sit as far away from the centre for a better ride and more g force! amazing ride:D

[fayik123]

its just my opinion. FIghter pilots wear g suits. It certainly isnt good for you.

[fayik123]

its pushing it really for the g limits really.

[jacko12V]

plase dont tell me this im goin on it in a coulple of daiis lol

[dannybieszke]

[m4ttg]

Alan Crows Top Scan Is Back Apparently

[nhsven]

The song is 'Rhythm Quest - Closer to all your dreams' sounds like the original too.

[djpeen]

ther lookin at a giant wheel on 5 loads

[sbbanter]

Mellors group brought a 4 year old, 365 tonne, 196 foot mondial giant wheel called "universe" from fantasy island in ingoldmels last year.

It has been in nottingham, cardif and jersey last year, and is currently being errected in the market square in Notts for the second year running.

[wa1tz3r]

my dads mate drives the loads for the wheel through sometimes for mellors

[tidgytod]

Whats The First Song?

[pjprocker]

dus anyone know what they are replacing space roller with

[245thegreat]

Something better i presume, mellors will always upgrade their rides.

[wa1tz3r]

who says they will replace it with anything. they already own magic mouse (About 3 loads), Big Ben (2 loads), river rapids (about 3 loads) the wheel (about 4 loads), then the new rollercoaster, the polyp and sky coaster. Just think how many HGV drivers, pull down staff, diesel ect he would need already let alone with another ride. But who knows.....

[abodiginal]

wats the song at 1.40?
