Well it's Christmas time, so the time is right around the corner just about.

Any predictions, rumors, wishlists?

What I'd love most would be in order:

Huss Enterprise
Huss Condor
Schwarzkopf Looper (Testetreck or Olympia Looping)

What I think is more feasible:

Wave Swinger in Bavarian Graphics and transparent light bars similar to how the chair-o-plane was done, this was shown off to the side in a promotional pic a few years, and I can't figure out why they discontinued the original version they had.

Looks like Faller finally came out with some pretty sweet stuff this year! The ride is a hully gully which is like a wipeout/ trabant. Cant tell how big it is but looks cool! Then they have a set of carnival games also which comes with a skill claw!

I hear the hully Gully is a kiddie ride, so its a small model, surprised they didnt make it full size, as hose look bigger than the trabants/wipeouts we have here, theming looks ugly IMHO

Crazy Clown 

Yeah, looks very lame and basically a kiddie ride I've never seen or heard of. I got so pumped when I first read that it was a Hully Gully.

I don't get why they tend to go with these dumb themes either. Is this a ride from the same place the Clown themed Wave Swinger is from?

Fallers dimensions say the ride is 4 1/4" x 3 3/4". Definitely kiddie ride sized, in HO about 30' x 27'.

Elsewhere in the new listing they show some coin op type kiddie rides like the horse or car you see in shopping centers sometimes.

The real ride is built by Sartori.

Have to say I like it as well. Not enough kiddie ride kits available, this one looks good.

I think it looks ok, don't care for the theme. But, I actually think there are a lot of kiddie rides on the market now, and I always want something that either I rode growing up or am familiar with from the parks I visit.

With everything from LTS, MTS, Rich and so on, there's way more choices than there were a few years ago.

It looks great in operation though, and maybe since they have the mechanism now, perhaps they'll do a full size Hully Gully in 15' or 16'. Or maybe some of you will be skilled enough to make it into a Hully Gully/Wipeout/Trabant etc.

You may be onto something there Matt, I have a Hang Ten I need to put together. That mechanism with a little tweaking can make the ride work right....

That was my exact intention to use the drive for a wipeout. Would be sweet if Anthony made parts to retrofit it into one. Would be a bit expensive as $150 just for the drive but probably worth it in the end if you could get it to raise up high enough.

Interesting that its a satori piece!

The coin opps are really neat. I always thought it would be neat to make a small ho scale arcade tent. When I was a kid I remember both All Star Amusements and Matt Armstrong Shows had them when they came up here, im sure many shows did..

You're right Ted, I remember seeing arcades all the time. Wade, Pugh, especially. I guess there are more kiddie ride kits available than I thought, wasn't thinking about Laser Tech and Rich S., between the two of them alone you can make an entire kiddieland if you wanted. Throw in Model Tech, R.A.H., Faller, IHC kits on Ebay, actually quite a selection.
