What's up? I saw the posts on here. I agree fully with HUSSRAINBOW, the 1001's are a joke compared to the Huss Rainbow. But even then, they still give a great ride and view of the midway below. But, nothing compares to, or beats a Huss. I think Strates Shows and other folks that sold off their Rainbow paniced because of that Sweden incident. That's not to say that would happen to ALL Huss Rainbows. Strates Shows had a top notch-running Rainbow like O'Neil Shows has. NOT every Rainbow would do such as that. Keep the ride in tip-top shape and it'll serve/thrill for many years to come. I think that was Strates' loss, and someone else's gain. I would NOT have sold it if i was Strates. But, too, they might've gotten tired of putting it up everywhere they went & tearing it down. Yet, their Top Spin is a larger ride than their Rainbow was.
I would've kept that Rainbow if i had been Strates, but o well, that was their doings. A ride's not gonna give-way unless it's not being taken care of. If you treat it right, it's gonna treat your show right, and thrill many more riders that ride the Rainbow. What if a 1001 Nachts does it soon? I'm just saying, what IF?? Does that mean every show's gonna get rid of their Nachts? If i had one? Hell No! Just like i say, Hell No! I ain't getting rid of my Huss Rainbow. Just 'cuz of 1 bad apple in the bunch??, doesn't mean my Rainbow's like that one. Every Rainbow i have ridden, i felt super safe! I would ride another one in a heartbeat right now...whenever i see another one....a REAL Huss Rainbow, not a FAKE or wanna-be. LOL c-ya
