Ok that explains it, A of A was playing with them before I started going to the fair.
I think the Explorer was Conklin's or Worlds finest Shows?

That part of the season Zachini would have been traveling the rest of the season with Conklin as they would head out to Thunder Bay (1st stop in town of 2 for the season)

Zachini always had 1 or 2 large dark rides.

CVS had 1 of their 3 Himalaya type rides (2 Reverchon, 1 Mack) every year. Seemed to rotate them every year. I remember seeing 1 of there 2 Wave swingers there when for some reason Conklin didn't bring their. May of had 1 or 2 more pieces there too...

Don't remember seeing A of A, but my memory is not what is used to be...

Some years Deggeller used to bring in stuff too. Remember their Giant Wheel being there as well as they Wave Swinger (again when Conklin didn't bring theirs). They may of had 1 or 2 more pieces in there as well.

Truax had stuff there.

And Dolan used to have several pieces there as well.



Early to Mid 90's Conklin around that time was in Toronto with World's Finest Shows for the Spring Fair at the CNE grounds

A great foreman like that you want to take care of, which I am sure Reithoffer does.

I remember we had a guy who took great pride in moving and taking care of our Gravitron, every bulb worked, ride was clean and well kept.
