It's all been done, the fastest, the highest, the craziest, the scariest....I say bring back or upgrade the classics such as the Sky Diver, Sky Wheel, Trabant, Enterprise etc. Went to PGAM this last weekend and saw the Zipper, Freak out and a few others upgraded with LED's and they looked awesome!!!! These classic rides are pure Americana which we cannot let go away especially the Zipper since that has always been my favorite ride since I was a kid....lol

To you the rides you mentioned may be classics but 30 years ago, they were the in thing. Let's go back another 30 years to the 50s and see some of the real classics with upgrades, nice paint, and LED's.
It is what you learn, after you know it all, that counts.

I'm all for it, at a time when this great country used to build things we built the best in everything including carnival rides, we even landed on the moon....Imagine that!!!!

TJ dont panic my friend...
Rides such as the Zipper, Trabant, swingers,
your gonna be seeing for a long time even with more
upgrades and some shows will be adding the newer led light
shows ..

how ever sky divers might be the ride to fade away alot sooner.
due to the fact of the setup time and finding parts for it.

I wouldnt be surprised if a copy cat version of the diver
comes available if someone is willing to monkey with the idea.

Heres an excuse the builder can use... we will sell you this new
version of the sky diver with the LED lighting package for $500,000

of course no show might buy it for that price how ever if they design
it to a one trailer ride and make it less setup and tear down time
you never know.


Im all for classics also TJ, i always think the show looks really good
with the classics and the newer equipment mixed into the lot. Because to be
honest not every kid wants to go super fast or upside down and inside out.

so some of the classic less intense rides i would also like to see stay around
on the midway.

Well I am glad to know that I am not the only one. Maybe Chance could re-release a few and as you stated keep them to one trailer and easier setup. I know the Space Wheel is being worked on and as I mentioned PGAM had their Zipper and Freak out with the new LED's plus their upkeep on their rides make them look brand new. The Spider looked like it came right out of the box so to speak....lol

I don't know who you are but you know nothing about me and as I stated before Everyone will get their orders with all the new upgrades and the few that are still patiently waiting know that already when I address everything in the next few weeks. The new website will have all new rides with all new lights most of which will go to waiting customers. Why don't you be a man and reveal yourself since you think you know me so well....Tough guy
