I read yesterday on Modern Midway's FB page (and Carnival Warehouse) that they are bringing back the King of the Midway next year. From the pictures looks like they did a really great refurb with (some) classic colors and I think old time light bulbs. The tubs are white instead of the multicolor, but still it looks very sharp.
I hope this is a trend, now the list of shows with a Sky Wheel is a little longer:
Big Rock
Modern Midways
Miller Spec. Midways
Drew Expo (Space Wheels)
Belle City Amusements
and I think a few out west, just can't remember who right now. I know there will never be as many on the road again as before, just glad to see some coming back out.
I think Wade should bring his back out, or at least one of them.
Speaking of them, does anyone know what happened to the one Reithoffer had? They dropped it, then brought it back out for a while and dropped it again. I think J&J had the old green and white one that Deggeller had at one time. I know Big A's went to Powers, then to Smokey Mtn Amusements. Not sure what happened to the one Amusements of Buffalo had, or Conklin's and CVS.
