Exploring Amusement Park Rides

- I'm my search of a suitable trailer to convert into a mobile stage, I came across a fair in Barrhaven Ontario that was in the process of being set up, which is also ironic because I was just on my way to buy a used carnival trailer that may or may not have worked out (you will have to stay tuned to my channel to find out ;). I am currently thinking that one of these older game trailers might be a suitable candidate for a project, but I am still leaning towards the cube truck idea, none the less, there is going to be a lot of welding in the near future on my channel. These amusement park rides and trailer have all the same mechanical features that a mobile stage would have, opening and closing sections controlled by hydraulics, as well as a whole slew of other mechanical features. They are all a fantastic disply of mechanical and artistic beauty, and everyone of them are unique in their design and function. It was a lot of fun exploring these rides in their setup stages, as well as speaking with some of the ride operators, and I also got to interview the head mechanic for the entire festival, which was really facinating ! If this sounds interesting to you, than you will really enjoy this video ;) See you soon ;)
Liking and sharing my videos really helps with the process of making more.

All the old paratroopers I’ve ever seen had a gas or diesel power plant. Everything now is mainly electric but back in the not so much.
Bud, try being the person that sets those rides up and actually works there and knows what everything is and how it goes. I'd love to see a normal person that has a desk job or a blue-collar job. Try and come set up rides for a day. They'd probably have a really rough day. We we set up certain rides while we can actually set up all the rides with 25 guys in 1 day and 6 hours. If we try at work there for 4 years.
Id love to try and set up a ride or watch how its done, facinating
Cool video🎪🎡🎠 Your thirst for knowledge is inspiring Scotty. It really makes your videos fun to watch...no matter what you film you give 💯...no mundane here. Was nice to see Jayla & Zoey🐕 My husband's brother used to be a carny for Albion Amusements in Ontario. In Timmins,Ontario here we only get Beauce Carnival...in the 80's we could pay using Canadian Tire $ lol Anywho...cool video👌🏼Wishing you Jayla & Zoey a great Easter weekend.
I worked for Carter shows years ago
It's a 1967 frank hurbits paratrooper he was an architect from new York city and had a few ride ideas that just happened to be Three of the most beloved carnival rides built the tip top the paratrooper and the trambant from 1964 to 1977
Thanks again for chiming in in the chat here Brian, you seem to know a lot about the rides, thabks for all the great information.
Did you see that ride at the cherry festival almost tip over backwards o m g iv seen all kinds of stuff on midways but never anything like that that should never have happened period he didn't check the Jack stand's to make sure they were tightened down to the ride walked off it's blocking wtf
Ha ha the more I watch Scotty go on about The electrical boxes I felt like I was watching blippy with my grandson LOL
If it's not permanently mounted to the ground it's an amusement park ride and if it has wheels it's a carnival ride
I know every ride maker and been to thire plants I also design Carney rides thanks again Brian maxey from wentzville mo
Iv rebuilt many RV s and camper s and fifth wheel RV s aswell
scotty, print up some fun business cards--for when you meet friendly folks for a chat on camera, etc.
I was just thinking that Dave, funny you should mention it, I will do that very soon ;)
go in the genorator trailer i wanna see how it looks like
Is this All Canadian Entrainment?? These rides really familer! They come to PH fair!
If so here's a video racked rides at made in 2019 PH fair

I think it is yes, not 100% sure though
I wish I could find a video or time lapse of the "Sky Wheel" or "Double Ferris Wheel"
Absolutely, I can't picture how either one of those rides is supposed to turn into a trailer !
@@UOttawaScotty it's absolutely amazing how it's done. Just a shame they are prehistoric now. The skywheel could be seen maybe 2 miles away where I live and seeing that glowing yellow wheel turning in the sky on the way to the fair when I was a kid was the greatest thing ever man
@@jpayne3616 I have similar memories of other rides, but I never had the pleasure of seeing the skywheel, so I can understand completely your sentiment. Interestingly, the fascination with these machines has not deminished as an adult, instead I just have a whole new appreciation for the incredible mechanical engineering and artistic touch. These rides always gave me anxiety as a young kid, and admittedly, there were a few that I chickened out on, these old rides are intimidating, you look at them and see the industrious steel structures and immediately feel an element of danger...like something could go wrong. The reality is that these rides were made so strong that a lot of them are over 50 years old and still operating. The operator of the Area 51 ride in my video here stated that his ride was made in 1967 ! Still, imagining the loads on certain points of these machines makes the imagination get going. I would have loved to see the massive generator and fuel tank in the Fun Power generator trailer though, maybe Ill research to see if I can find some pictures. Thanks for your comment, nice to know there are other people out there that appreciate these machines.
The fun houses and mirror and dark house are maid by Owens trailer s in Riverside California they also make bunk houses ticket bhoots and porta John's
Grest information Brian, thanks !!
That is the power plant it has the deal motors in it anything else you want to know just get ahold of me I'll tell you what y'all wanna know I worked for the carnival for 28 years i started when I was 14 to bout 36 I'm Brian maxey from wentzville mo
You’re so clueless about trailer mounted rides, and carnivals! 🤣 also the starship walls pull inwards and slide onto the trailer.
No they don't you have to use a hoist and hookup each section and place it on the edge of the ride platform that folds down I've set it up and torn down aswell as run the ride for bill hammer
So you want to buy rides?
I'm examining these trailers because my goal is to make a mobile stage, which is essentially a trailer with folding pieces controlled by hydraulics. These trailers have all the same systems that a mobile stage would have, so I am trying to see how these systems can be fabricated. I was looking at buying a carnival game trailer and converting it into a mobile stage.
Awww is this guy going around and being a know it all🙄🙄. Like he could do any better 🙄🙄
If you don't know what you're talking about the carnival then don't own you're own shit, sorry to say it but you'll do terrible, carnival rides are not cheap same with the permits & license's you need
I'm not looking to get into carnival rides, I just think they are really beautiful and interesting and the purpose of the video is just to do some exploration. I would imagine there would be a lot hoops to jump through to actually run one of these rides
