Meet the Janesky Family, the family that travels throughout the Country and sets up amusement rides for rental.
This was fun to Watch, I was a carnie for 30+ years , Johnsons Shows and a few Smaller ones up north, I sat up and Ran the Eli 12 Seater, Ground mount Wheel.
I do love vintage machines. This video reminds me of the early 2000s vibe.
I hope you get this I just found your Channel from 79 to 1980 I worked at a small carnival it was very small they had an Eli 12 ferris wheel it was his baby it was made in 1925 we took care of that thing like it was his own kid so I know what you're talking about about heavy lifting thank you
Your wheel is fearfully and wonderfully made... much like a GE mobile imager. That's the amusement you want to set up and tear down. Less work = more money.
I think it’s Very Cool to have ALL Hands in your Family Helping get the Job done. Keep up the strong 💪 effort, be careful and GOD Bless. 👍🙏
I want to take this time to let you know how much I enjoy your videos. I am really impressed with your attention to detail and professionalism you demonstrate on your assembling of your rides and how much care you give your equipment. Also your attention to detail for the riders and their safety. I can't imagine the various people that you come across at the events. It must be a real joy to be able to work as a family with your business. Thank you for all you do. Sam
South Carolina is one of the toughest states to pass inspection. You gotta be on your game!! Well done bigroundwheel
good video and explained well
I love Ferris wheels. Back in the late ‘60s, I worked part-time at Joyland Park in Wichita. I was usually the relief operator since I knew all the rides, but my favorite was their big 16 seat Eli wheel. That big wheel, being cable drive, was finicky about being balanced. It takes a good eye and a gentle touch to do it right. I still love the older rides
I really enjoyed this video. Thanks for sharing!
Looking good there miss thang lol
You guys are awesome! You need a Netflix show asap
I have worked on carnivals that setup the oldest genies by hand, no equipment but block and tackle.
Man I love the traveling life ❤
Darren you should do a video on the trick to changing the packing on your bull wheels! It's a art!!! Love your videos, keep them coming.
This was very cool, great family. I thought that was a Big Eli for a sec, with the buggy seats and drive cable and all.
Big part of my day is you tube I love it 😀
I like your videos brings back memories I used to work for a carnival years ago and I worked on a crew that had a ride called the Himalaya and it took us about 6 or more hours hours to get it setup I had enjoyed it but we didn't always put up the scenery each time except the day we were going to have an inspection but the only thing was that the owners didn't want to make the time to repair the brakes on the thing so that we had to load it up the passengers so that the thing wouldn't roll around when one of the crew was underneath the ride to check things out before each ride during the day they were open to the public to go on the ride
Heads up watch your head operating these wheels. The elephant ear passes just a foot from you.
The tower cables carry load when the wheel is unbalanced. They are used to true the whee. The outriggers can also assist in drive cable a linement.
