Never saw that show.

I saw Goodtime back in 1997, was on a trip out East and saw an advertisement for a local fair in Pennsylvania (near Allentown) and decided to visit. At that time they looked like a really nice small show, had a great looking Eli Wheel painted all silver, a Hustler, Swinger, Tip Top (with a back wall and countries of the world theme), Tilt-A-Whirl, Round Up, t/m Octopus, M-G-R, slide, Kids Town, Castle Mania, and some older kiddie rides.

http://jtmonline.com/goodtime/ridepix.html  The Hampton has nice LED's on the center now. All the cnavas matches between rides/stick joints, and I love the colors he has chosen. There are also other rides that one of his game operators sets up sometimes thats a kiddie Sea Dragon and the Fire House maze. He also has 2 disney Moon Bounces and he uses a 4 way bungee item (not sure of the exact model/manufacturer)

Wow, they sure have changed. LOL Same Tilt, Slide, and Castle Mania (just glanced at my photos), but what a nice looking small show. No wheel or M-G-R though, and that wheel they had was nice. Thanks for the link.

On their route they have Gilbert West in Fair. Do they go in with somebody or just put up joints? They look like they may be too small for that fair.

Yeah they sold off the wheel because it wasnt making money. He just sold his swinger this feb so he is looking at a carousel or WipeOut. The Castle Mania was supposed to get a new paint job by May 09 but they were repainting the trailer and base of the bees and a few other things. He has a new dart trailer this year, i actually forget the name but its a nice one, has an overhead sign, nice diamon plate waround the edges/corners and the front around hte hitch and the whole back. I know diamond plate isnt the cheapest either, I know what we pay for ont he firetrucks. I am trying to talk him into a Majestic Musik Express or the single trailer Himalaya. He was looking at the Thunder Bolt on usedrides.com but I don't know what his thought are on that yet. That would prob be a winter quarter refurbish job. He is a nice person, will do anything to help out the show spots, they even do advertising for you. They have a dress code and i would say a pretty strict drug policy as well. Our lion and tiger show we had last year said that was one of the nice midways they worked with in a long time. He got the Hurricane from ex Henry T. Cole Shows 2 years ago. In West End Fair he has helpers come in since NJ Valley Amusements backed out i think 2 yrsd ago as well. Usually its Jim Thorpe Amusements, ABE Amusements and Otto's Amusements that help out.

oh and skywheelrider, he just bought a carousel, he is doing a refurb on it at his winter quarters. His 3 sons work on it during the day and go to the midway at night snce they are mainly local spots they do. I forget the brand name, something "er" at the end of it. He told me but just as he told me the one bad started playing and it was hard to hear right. So if you know any brands with "er" at the end and post them.
