As to what Falling Star Enterprises owns I am not 100% sure. At one time I believe they owned 2 Falling Stars, a Chaos, an Invertor, and I read on the Chance site that they had a Slingshot also. I had the pleasure of talking to Buddy one night on the lot in Salinas,CA. where he had the Chaos and the Invertor. He had just got back from the Chance factory where he picked up a pump for the Chaos. He was not as upset about the big bucks he had just spent on the pump as he was about the condition of the new bunkhouse that he had bought for the ride help. He used a different team to move and erect the rides and then different people to run them. And the ones that he hired to run them just tore the s*it out of the new bunkhouse-he just could not believe that anyone would do that to something that was provided for them. He seemed to me to be a
Class Act that was getting tired of the road-he said his wife kept asking him why he was still out there? He said it was because of his son who had just built a big new house in the LA area, but he thought it might be time to hang it up. If he in fact got off the road, I wish him well and happiness.
