The Matthews Experience
Thursday, February 09, 2006

Article imageDarren Matthews' KMG Experience is now in the UK and ready for Warrington.

Like many of the fair rides that are coming to the UK this year, Experience has a fantastic heritage. As the prototype, it has come from the stable of Dutch showman Kroon, who also owned Tango (also UK-bound for 2006) and Move It.

Both of these rides are wonderfully presented with the flair and creativity you'd expect from both KMG and European showmen, and although the UK has both of these rides touring already, it brings us yet another step closer to Europe in terms of ride lineups.

In other fair news:

  • Mellor's Space Roller is due to appear at Leeds later this month, along with Wild River Rapids, Silcock's Speed Flip, Evans' Beach Party Afterburner and Drop Zone to name but a few rides in attendance
  • Cox's Move It is due debut its newly painted backflash at Leicester Funderworld
  • The UK's first Mondial Capriolo is likely to be ready to tour for next month
  • M&Ds have sold Bomber with a view of replacing it with Fabbri's new 16-seater 50m tall Booster
  • And finally, Mondial have been showing off a new ride car at the Euro Amusement Show. At eight cars wide, it has been suggested it is for their new Heartbreaker ride, although it should be remembered that Mondial currently have many rides in the latter stages of design at the moment. The first was rumoured to have been sold to a British showman, although it is more likely this ride will appear in Germany first.
