I read in "Amusement today" a couple months ago that Deggeller bought a Galaxy coaster from E K Fernandez shows.

I was disapointed not to see it in Little Rock this year.

Did they really buy the ride, or was this just mis information?

They did. Waiting for Andy to get me some pics to put on their web site.

They also bought:

Fajume Helicopter Ride
Fajume Tornado
Wisdom Windsurfer

Looks like a knock-off of a Wisdom Tornado:

A knockoff? That looks to be 100% dead on.

How are they able to do that?

I dont know a patent, if there even was one, does not last forever. Not sure what the case is with Wisdom's Tornado, but this is likely the issue.

From what I understood, from talking to FAJUME at the IAAPA show last year, FAJUME is building them under license from Wisdom.

The Windsurfer looks like the Tornado with a different theme. Does nobody have any new, original, fresh ideas or is it just taking the easy way[?]
I have done so much,with so little,for so long,I am now qualified to do anything with nothing!

I take it you haven't seen the new theming that Wisdom just started offering:

Alien Abduction (Starship)
Snowboarder (open-top Silver Streak)
Flying Turtles (kiddie bobs-style ride)
Beetle Mania (kiddie bobs-style ride)
Pirate's Island (looks like another kiddie himalaya variant)

LOL Scott. You know they don't carry enough blocking to level a coaster on our lot. [;)]

It took a small lumber yard for that lil worm ride. I kept on saying I was going to get some photos of that.. never did.

Who's idea was it to put that ride there? They could have flipped Ward Hall's Show and that ride and it would have worked out fine.

Not to change the subject, but I was glad to see Ward Hall in Little Rock!
