- Back in 2019 John and Buck Wall pulled down their family's Superstar ride after being open at a Popley carnival, drove 40 miles to Wickham and built it back up ready to open the next day. That's some serious hard graft, proving that showmen really are tough workers when it comes to providing all the fun of the fair.
The two brothers worked like a well oiled machine knowing exactly where to be and when to do each part of the pull down/build up. Showing how strong they are as a family.
Here's a timelapse showing the 6 hour process in just 10 minutes. Filmed with a GoPro Hero 6 Black
Well done them, that is very hard work indeed, Stephen.
Theres something quite satisfying about theses types for videos
I've loved watching rides get built up and packed away for 40 years. Very mesmerising.
That is one heck of a ride.......and Portable.....AMAZING! and what a great vid. Took some patience to get that footage!
Absolutely amazing. What a beautiful ride. Thank you for sharing
Great video. I love how they swing the arms out and bolt them to the centre hub. Very compact design. Do you know what mechanism is in place to prevent the boom from rotating on the ground? I assume that the boom is locked into place with a pin which retracts when it's in the fully raised position?
Make it look so easy...
Can't help but appreciate not just what a flat ride will do, but how it folds into 1 or 2 trailer units, that's more of a skill..
This is cool .its like pack and go
Clever isn't it.
My mouth dropped open when I saw that marvel operating - Especially when all I saw them do was slide the cars on their rails - next thing they were spinning upside down with patrons!
Great video
Thank you :)
Great faith on hydraulics and steel pins !!!
They're heavy duty steel pins, would take something immense to break them.
I wonder how long it took to design that ride so it all fits on one trailer. Clever. Very clever!
Not really hard. When it was designed it was when one trailer , and no stairs with a big platform was the craz. The simplest design,
I often think designing how to pack it away takes more skill than how to make a ride actually work.
With computers and technology the way we now have them, it wouldn’t be hard to simplify what was once a very complex matter of storing an adult fairground ride onto the back of a number of trailers. The old Waltzer rides for example, used to be broken down and spread onto the back of a trailer with the centre section on its own set of wheels. Now its all part of one trailer.
I once helped build and pull down a Waltzer and every single part, nut and bolt had its own pride of place of storage. This not only made it easier to make room for on the trailer but also made it quicker to locate as each piece was added during the build.
I am always amazed at the planning of a carnival or club-day where every ride, stall, caravan and lorry-trailer unit are fitted so precisely within what usually looks like the small space of a market town car-park or village green.
@@KebabMusicLtd Whats even better is that most of the time its all done with counting the number of steps! When they pull outside my familys house every year they pack in the rides like that and just pace it out. Year and years of experience.
Good ride question who manufactured it ?
there is a ride kinda like this called Remix II extra rush and i wish it return because they had the fog machine and the strobe lights on it going and the ride was fun as all heck!
Holy engineering Batman. How long would a time-lapse be on the engineering process of that ride ? Seems like a ride that would have more viewers than riders . Have you ridden it ?
I have ridden it
Back in my time that would be an easy ride to set up
Definitely not as hard on the back as lifting dodgem track plates or waltzer panels. Still hard work though, especially with how closer together they open on different grounds.
What that song called
So the main boom arm has no support while in transport?
No, but it has a lot less weight on it with the cars removed.
From a carnival employer it's tear down n set up 👆
Is that in the US?
Yes we do the east coast year round, but I originally started as just a green horn working for someone else then I bought one ride and then another and another 20 years later I own a zipper, cliffhanger ferris-wheel scrambler, Pharaoh's Fury, starship3000,hurricane, sizzler,casino, salt n pepper shakers, skydiver,Roundup, 16 games fried dough cotton candy and about 15 kiddie land rides suxh as double hamptons, super fun slide, elephants,kid power, house of mirrors, pumpkin patch, tea cups, a couple other s too, looking into a delusion and bumper cars but seems like it's not worth the set up time for bumper cars/scooters seems like to small of an arena for scooters on a mobile unit
Is it a KMG Moveit24? Or what model is it?
NA Superides
Que música é essa tá tocando novideo
Thought John Wall was there.
Cars different now
Great video, shame about the “music”!
Thanks for watching. Sorry you didn’t like the music.
@@MarcusGainesCoasterTouring I like the song at 5 minute mark, name?
@@MarcusGainesCoasterTouring the music is good this guy just a hater
that fold up isnt nothing try a real ride like a skywheel or an spider those will test your metal as a showmen
How does a Sky Wheel or Spider compare with an old school dodgem track with the metal plates weighing a tonne.
At least being fold up means they can move rides quickly. Such as this occasion where the Superstar closed at 5pm, moved 50 miles and was ready to go at 10 am the next morning.
@@MarcusGainesCoasterTouring all im saying is these ride jocks have it easy compared to when i started on the shows in the 70s eightteen years on the road lm old school and i know about a ground mount dodge em also trailer mount can be a witch also
