If you're looking for a good time this weekend, The Darwin Show is your ticket to ride.
00:08
I know there is a, I think I believe a couple of new ones.
00:13
There's always scary ones, but there's always a nice gentle one for the littler people as well.
00:18
There's plenty on offer for those looking to go to new heights.
00:22
And options for people who are keen to drive their own fun.
00:27
It's a true family affair for both the punters and the operators.
00:32
Around that move it ride there, that's me cousins there.
00:35
This is me cousins, got a set of bungees here and the teacups.
00:37
Me auntie's got a food van behind you and all that type of thing.
00:39
So it's like a big family sort of thing this is.
00:42
Stallholders working hard to prepare for the thousands of people coming through the gates.
00:47
I've been going all morning just doing this bit.
00:49
And we're still going, so a little bit.
00:51
And the heat doesn't help.
00:53
It's been a roller coaster of emotions for some operators
00:56
who say red tape and bureaucracy on permit approvals
00:59
mean they can't put up their tallest rides this year.
01:06
What this year's rides might lack in height,
01:09
they certainly make up for in speed, adrenaline
01:13
and the ability to make this journalist very nauseous.
01:17
Oh my God.
01:19
Don't need a day of good dog before you go on the ride.
01:21
A warning worth heeding.
01:24
The rides leaving some feeling worse for wear.
01:27
Oh, I feel unwell.
01:29
I actually feel really violated by that experience.
01:31
The action kicks off officially at 9am tomorrow.
01:35
It's actually about 3 months.
01:36
That's good for you.
01:37
I think it's the cars.
01:38
It's just as long as it's going for you.
01:39
I think it's going for you.
01:40
How do you do that?
01:42
I think it's going for you.
01:43
I think it's going for you to live in 60.
01:44
I'm going for you too.
01:46
I'm going for you.
