Not his, I believe Jim is correct on whose it is.

Believe the Hang Ten on UR is the former MBGS one. Think it was purchased and refurbished by Gopher State Expositions from Minnesota.
I don't think that's his Hang Ten, unless it's an older pic. That one has a different paint scheme and scenery style. I could be wrong though! Anyone have any info on this? I don't know of many Hang Tens traveling.

When the Flying Bobs cars would "fly" up over the hills, you would see them underneath the cars. Tolve Presentations' Bobs had them in 1988 at the Mule Days carnival, and i think Strates' Bobs had them underneath their Bobs cars at the '91 NC State Fair back then. The replica skis decals were just an added feature to give the cars more realistic-feel to them, to give riders like they were riding real sled cars with a snow theme around the ride. Powers' topless Bobs does look good, but i'm sold on Hildebrand's Flying Bobs. lol [:o)] I mean, have you guys & gals seen Hildebrands' Bobs? Wow! Looks MINT! They must take really good care of it, and yes, it has the top to it.



It's actually Robbie Megerle's Flying Bobs. Saw it last November in Margate, Florida, it has been refurbished since the last time I saw it a few years ago.

Power's Amusements (the real one) has a topless Chance Flying Bobs. It's designed to look simmilar to the British bob rides. I saw it at the Allentown PA fair ~5 years ago. I have several photos of it. If I knew how to upload them here I'd do it.
