Done this for 5 years in early 80's. Platforms winched back then. Everything else was by hand. Girders and cars was a killer as they was in an artic trailer. Getting trams out was a finger chopper as they was old wooden type with steel top located under the paybox. Would i do it all again? HELL YEAH 😆.
nah about 2 days to get everything up and running and that's with all rides and games. i traveled with funtastic for 12 years always hated set and up tear down but during the week we was open it was awesome seeing the people enjoying themselves makes it worth it each time
unfortunately it was only up to the platforms, however I am hoping to catch them build up this year in May when they visit, hopefully a full sizzler build up as well
He worked at Muir of ord. When a worked with the Batman family from Glasgow then we went to st Andrew's. And just worked our way to Glasgow great days. Who's waltzer 👍
Its amazing like an unfolding of a pop up book😮

Thanks for the video I'd love to see more build up videos for sure
I will see what I can do in future 😎👍 glad you enjoyed the footage
Great guys.. hard working… pulled there dodgems ,octopus down for yrs… fun times 😎❤️
You not do it anymore?
Do u not do it anymore?
@@karenkalasy8251 unfortunately not .. but still pine for it ❤️
big respect to the chaps. Id say that building up the waltzer, gallopers and dodgems are the hardest machines to get ready.....
Supercar dodgem is hard going Ive done a few in the past
Great video pal. Really interesting to see the full build-up.
Herchers my childhood side shows. The old rib tickler was my favourite.❤
I've always wondered where these rides are bought and how much they cost.
Nice built up video
Holy Cow This Is Interesting. And It Takes How Long To Set it up.
By the Looks of it It Takes At Least a Week To Totally Have every Set up and Ready to go.

It looks back breaking 😮? How long does it take?
If they are going hard at it probably 4-5hrs full flash
Respect to all showmen. Its proper grafting 😮❤
Some don't realise the grafting it takes and the travelling. Big up all Showmen. ❤❤
My granny was friends with Margo from herchers family.
I think you guys should wear steel recap boots
it,s time to give it a good clean
Ending?

@@ecossefairgroundphotograph1514 sounds good 👍
They don't need no gym😮
yeah theyre hard working lads, Im hoping to get the build up of the Sizzler soon
Why do these guys buy sleeper cabs if they stay in caravans
Some of the working men sleep in lorries
If anyone is out there reading this I actually watched Cecil Codona Bang in those long steel rods in 1974, does anyone remember Cecil?
We're is this waltzer from as I've never seen it before. Please let me no and what country👍
Scotland very far north, probably the furthest northerly travelling waltzer in the UK
