Any thoughts?

It is the one at Conneaut Lake Park. It doesn't look like anything that I have seen from Mack, Soli or Reverchon. It looks kind of like the SDC one I saw owned by Kissel, but only somewhat.

Only a festering clownie brain would be thinking such thoughts boils. You would have to be with-it to appreciate what is there.

If I had to guess, my first guess would be Barbieri.
(maybe even the remnants of an old Barbieri Super Cat ?)

If not Barbieri- Then I would start guessing S.D.C., Soriani & Moser or maybe even Robles Bouso.

I think it's pretty cool.....I like the tubs alot better than all the "sleighs" out there.....lol They look like bumper cars....lol I never really cared for the "Himalaya" theme anyway... One things for sure about the one pictured. Since it's at a park it doe'nt need all the flash. Because they got your money at the Front gate. So it does'nt matter what the thing looks like.

I am with john. Midwest midways had a sobema himmy with a top, and those cars and the axle wheels on the end match perfect to it. Doghouse looks custom built

This one looks interesting! But is in Conneaut Lake Park still the other Mack Musik Express?

Don't worry...I considered Sobema (for a split second).
I'm sticking with my original answer...Barbieri (super cat). [:D]
