You're right. The gear boxes came in for the Top Spin and Walt Sr. is getting it ready for the opener in Danbury Ct. As far as the Rainbow & Pirate, the Rainbow is very much a long shot but don't be surprised if the Pirate is on the ride list for '08.[;)][;)]

the Enterprise was on the midway last year, I'm assuming it is this year, with out alot of the big rides off the midway they need to get something back, the Enterprise would be the one.

All of those pieces are parked, some are in WQ, at least one may be in Anderson, SC. None have been out on the road in quite a while, nor would I expect to see them out anytime soon -- except for maybe the Pirate and Rainbow.

As for the Enterprise, I'll see what I can find out when the train rolls into Danbury, CT next month. I'd expect that it will be on the train.

The enterprise is my favorite ride of all time (yes I've finally decided), so I would be sorely disappointed if it did not show at the erie county fair this year. It would also leave the midway quite empty, there was a year the enterprise didn't show at the ECF and I really don't want to think about that right now... I go straight to the enterprise as soon as I get to the fair! Oh but I do like the top spin as well.

The rainbow hasn't been out in a while so I wouldn't expect to see that out on the road this year. The last I heard about the top spin is that it was questionable for this season and may not show, but it looks like it will be showing this year after all.

They are on the way out it seems. If I had sued that many people I would be trying to hide and get out too.

Although we don't understand everything, they are definitely NOT on the way out! I imagine right now they are glad to still be using the train with the cost of fuel being what it is.

Disgruntled employee no doubt. Strates is looking good and lookin' forward to a great year. They do have some very nice "Huss" rides.
