    Wow! I don’t think the average person realizes how much work goes into putting these rides up and down. As well as the hours that go into assuring everything works properly and is safe. Thank you for what you do.

    I love everything about carnival rides, and this channel is just so wonderful. Husband, Wife, Kids, Small Business, they get to travel as a family. This is literally the American Dream they are living and I am so happy for them!!!

      It does not look like a "dream" life to me! Sleeping in hotels, being months on the road during carnival season, living out of suitcases, hard work assembling and disassembling heavy machinery, long hours running the machines during the carnival, etc. I think its not a life for everyone. If they are happy living that life then I am happy for them to be doing what they want. I also can't even begin to imagine how they got the millions of dollars that these massive machines and big rigs cost.

    Nice video. But wish you could get the audio more consistent through the video. would make it easier to hear. Especially for us older guys with some hearing issues. I have watched the Luna-Park Rides company video on this ride, probably at least 6 times in the last year or so. I think it is an extremely clever design and beautifully engineered. Simplicity itself. Loads all onto one trailer and is easy for a crew of just 2 to set up and take down. An awful lot of thinking went into the procedure for set up and take down, to make it appeal to small operators. The portable winch is an awesome idea and timesaver. This ride is also a good size for a business like yours to use. Big enough to make it a nice attraction. Yet small enough to make it easy to move around often. Looks like just what you needed. Sure looks like a great enterprise to be doing as a family. I am jealous. Enjoy yourselves folks.

    There used to be 3 carnivals a year came through my hometown. I'm 64 now but, I used to help setup and tear down in my teens. Things sure are easier to setup than in the 70's. Sometimes I could run a game for the duration. It was an experience I will never forget. Meet some really interesting people. Great video folks.

    Do you have your own generator for your rides, or is the organization you provide the rides to responsible for providing a generator for you? I remember when I was a kid, the same amusement company that had rides, concessions and games had enclosed semi trailers with huge generators that provided all the amusement company's power, from rides to the 110-220 volts needed for the game and food trailers. They were completely self sufficient and didn't need shore power, I guess so they wouldn't have a situation where the location didn't meet their power requirements.

    Like your videos, but you REALLY need to invest in wireless mics. DJI makes the best inexpensive wireless set IMO. You can't be heard unless you pump the volume up, then the music is way too loud. Keep em' coming though!

    how well do the rides take reverse phasing on the 3 phase? Do you have a phasing meter, or just test a motor?

    • @bigroundwheelamusements4985
      @bigroundwheelamusements4985  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      We are careful to hook the phases correctly, but you never know when a generator may be wired backward. The hydraulic pump for the leveling jacks comes on first and lets us know if we have a phase issue, so the drive motors have never been phased incorrectly.
