I can only reflect on my past, before ever perfecting the shortcuts and safety measures the SKYWHEEL, ( ALLEN HERSCHEL ), had to be the ultimate hardest. There is nothing that is light weight on this ride. We purchased a ground mounted Himalaya made by Zanzini Italian Coasters from a pier in Seaside Heights, NJ in 1975. This was the ultimate of phrase brutal, everything from light panels to flashing corner pieces were over 60lbs. You wouldn't imagine about bringing up the towers and the track, sweeps, etc. Don't know what my father was thinking, however, after damn near killing us all it made money. Easiest ride I ever was able to set up was the following, Hurbertz Hurricane, Majestic, Carpet Ride, Hampton Umbrella rides. Sorry for old school, but you asked.[:)]
