Really happy to see how Deggeller is growing, and its great they are buying some really special pieces like the Flizter, Enterprise, and Hang Ten.

Now, if they could come back to this area close by so I could visit the midway again that would be great.

Speaking of special pieces, are they still using the Huss Top Spin II they picked up?
Did not see it in York this year and did not see any posts/pictures of it...
looked to be majorly over weight, the center load that is!

And from the picture that Flitzer coaster came from the pier/park in Ocean City NJ.
Still 2 other Flitzer coasters in NJ as well:
1 in Wild Wood
1 in Point Pleasant

Wonder what Deggeller is doing with the Wild Cat coaster they got from the park in Keansburg NJ?

Don Deggeller told me he thought the Wild Cat was too many trailers and did not want to fool with it.

Understandable, the Wild Cat is what 9 loads? Drew bought that one from Conklin and to my knowledge he only sets it up at the North Ga State fair. But have seen a video of it and it looks sharp.

How many trailers can a Flitzer fit on and I guess will be quite abit of work to build up compared to a modern travelling coaster?

I believe the Flitzer is only 3 loads, I know Reithoffer used to move into the Piedmont interstate fair on Sunday and would have half of it up by afternoon, those guys worked hard on those jumps.

Yes both of Reithoffer's move on 3 trailers: a 40 to 45 foot straight van load (frame, jack stands), a 28 foot pup straight van load and a 28 foot pup open load for the track.

Scott any idea if the Huss Top Spin II is still being used? Was not running when I saw it in York in 2014. And the center load looked pretty heavy!
Thanks
