Last Friday we picked up a Capco long range off of Ari from Peek-a-boo toy. He had it in Seaside Heights last year. I couldn't believe how strong it was. Our Shoot out the Star should be in within the next 2 weeks.

Hey Hoffa,

The Frightmare looks nice, almost makes me wish we had that instead of my Barbisan Thriller, almost... Looking pretty good, keep up the work, although I am sure that you dont have to be told that. Do you think you could get some pics of the Frightmare during setup and teardown or racked sometime? I always like to see other back end peices up and down.

It would be a Chance, or at least an Allan Herschell with Chance scenery. Looks very nice. So do the Skyfighters. I like. Thanks for sharing the pics! [:)]

It's a Herschell w/ the Chance scenery. I believe it is a 1954.

Gary, I thought they switched to aluminum around 1952. Steve Swika has one a little older than ours and I thought he had aluminum horses as well. I spoke to him about it and I think he said his has (or had) wood sweeps and was a 52 or 53. Ours had steel sweeps.

It was originally sold to the Steeplechase Pier in Atlantic City, NJ. We picked it up in 1984 and put the scenery kit on and the new decks.
