Went over to see part of Reithoffer Blue unit in Staten Island at the Staten Island mall earlier in the week, but never got a chance to post what’s there and share the new and additional equipment that has been added this year. The spot ends tonight....
There was 28 pieces on the lot and everything looked great… Reithoffer has LED’s on just about everything now and it makes for an impressive sight at night. The Super Himalaya is an amazing to see after dark! What a light show… The Giant Wheel (chance), Swing Tower and the KMG Wild Claw (after burner) also looked incredible… Every time I see the show it looks better and better.

Got to spend time chatting with an old friend for a while. Always nice to catch up with friends.
From our conversation it seems that Reithoffer has added 9 rides to the show/lineup this year… Some NEW and some used. Some of the NEW pieces are replacing old pieces (traded in) and some are additions to the show.
1. Used Sellner Spin ride (their 4th total and 2nd on Blue unit)
2. Used Fun Slide (their 3rd – 4 total slides now)
3. Used Circus Train (their 2nd)
4. Used Rio Grande Train
5. Used Wacky Worm Coaster (picked up from Myers for use on Orange Unit)
6. Used Mulligan Wheel (picked up from Myers for use on Orange unit)
7. NEW Zero Gravity (Cliff Hanger was traded in for this – already in use on the show)
8. NEW Air Race (Power Surge was traded in for this – expected delivery July some time)
9. NEW Magic Maze Glass House (Crystal Lil’s traded in for this - already in use on the show)
The show is now somewhere in the area of 110 rides… They range from 2 to 5 units depending on the time of year and the event.
