Showground turns into giant inflatable park

A GIANT inflatable obstacle course will take over the Alstonville Showground this weekend as part of a new school holiday attraction created by a local amusement busines

Northern Rivers Jumping Castles owner Jesse Flanagan has created the Airheads Alstonville Inflatable Park.

It will operate for three days, starting Saturday, April 12 at the Alstonville showground.

“We started with one jumping castle and now we’re the largest amusement company from Gold Coast to Newcastle,” Mr Flanagan said.

“This obstacle course is a big set up, it takes four days to put it altogether and runs off two generators.

“People have asked to hire it out for birthdays, but you can only run it with a proper team at a suitable venue.

“I have a good relationship with the committee at the show society and I thought Alstonville was a good central location for the school holidays.”

 

Ticket price include entry to the obstacle course, mechanical bull, ninja wall, auto racer and the toddler playground.

There will also be side show games and food trucks.

The obstacle course can take up to 250 kids in one day and is also suitable for adults.

There are no lineups with additional jumping castles and equipment used on busier days.

Mr Flanagan said the current set up is unique to the Northern Rivers and will likely become a regular event during school holiday periods.

“We’ve done other New Years Eve shows at Alstonville and we’ve set up the giant inflatable at Lismore showground, which was really popular, too.

“We rely on local support and the plan will eventually be to expand in to Ballina”
