Back in Nov, Music101 gave us a rundown of a some of the outdoor festivals happening in Aotearoa this summer, but off the top of my head I can think of half a dozen they missed out;
I've been involved in the festival circuit since the first edition of The Gathering on Takaka Hill, on NYE 1996/97. I co-directed my own 3 day indoor music festival, Psyclone, in Ōtautahi in 1998. That was a wild ride : P

Not a lot of love lost here, but Psyclone was a Dinn Corporation-built wooden roller coaster that operated at @SFMagicMountain from 1991 to 2006. Part of the "record breaking wooden coaster craze" of the 1990s, the coaster pushed riders to the limit, with up to 3.0 in G-forces in parts of the ride.
Her trains were designed by B&M, the only wooden roller coaster to ever receive trains from them.
