With the great news of the Space Wheels being restored and hopefully on the road next year, has anyone heard anything about RAS old Calypso?
The last I heard (I think) that CVS had it, can anyone confirm that? Would be great to see that one back on the road as well. Matter of fact, they had several rides that I love to know what happened to
Latiga or Latigo (whip style ride with back panels)
Rotor
Fly O Plane (know this is a long shot)
Monorail (only portable one in history to my knowledge)
The Calypso is at CVS WQ. I doubt any show would buy it. From all I've heard it's a "BEAST" to move. The ride action is to similar to a Scrambler and Gomer told me that the Calypso and Meteor were both dropped in 71 because of the difficulty moving them and having the same action as the scrambler, not to mention all the space it took up on the train.
I think CVS has the Rotor too. I doubt they would take it out eithr. Two trailer ride and as far as I know Jeremy doesn't have any dates that need a ride that size. Funtastic shows is the only show I know of that still moves one.
The Latigo was a indy ride and have no other info on it. I would assume it was not too popular since all Whips left the midway years ago and have not made a come back. ( All though Deggeller did try it with a modern version)
I think the Monorail was only used one year... but not sure about that or what happened to it.
Fly o Plane... IDK
I'll see Gomer next week and I'll ask him
