Great video. I really like the addition of “The Ride of the week “.
Been watching this and your organization and fabrication videos for a while and it finally hit home with the old ride that was near us in Fairfax, VA probably was setup when I was a kid at the Fairfax Fair or the nearby funfairs in Alexandria, Falls Church & Arlington! Keep on truckin!
Not sure when you were a kid, but we did rescue that kiddie Ferris wheel in a later episode. Based on our research, it was originally setup in Baileys Crossroads at a place called Bernie’s Pony Rides. It closed sometime in the 70’s. Thanks for watching!
@@PeteRondeau Baileys Crossroads area of Falls Church makes a lot of sense since my family is in Arlington. Since I was a wee lad in the 70s things are a bit fuzzy. Is there a site/group you go to for more ride history? We're huge ride & park fans. We actually run a seasonal vendor booth at Kings Dominion during Winterfest. Our oldest is heading to Disney for his dream job this January for full time employment. Just turned on the bell for up to date progress on the project(s) now that I'm all caught up. Have you said how big your shed workshop is ever? Don't think I heard that detail in your most popular fabrication video.
Those wheels turned out pretty.
Thanks Tom!
Free electrical boxes? What a score. The kids look excited. I can't wait for next week. Great update
Yes, I was pretty pleased to get them. Little savings here and there add up.
Reach out to Knoebels. Maybe they will help rescue that Number 6 they can probably work the price down a bit. They specialize in rescuing badly gone rides and that would be a neat little add on for kiddy land.
Thanks for showing the Cobra. When I still worked at Wisdoms, they were just starting to restore them. I worked on the first two!
Great video I’m excited for this project
I loved your little clip from Heritage Park, Calgary! I'm sure you would love it if you got the chance to visit, they have some beautiful, old, rare rides.
I've been to Alberta twice and both times it was in the dead of winter. The roads were just hallways between two walls of snow. Might be nice to see what it's like in better weather!
You need a glass at the front of the cabinets to show the mechanical light chassers.
I love this channel. I wish Pete could teach all the other UA-camrs how to get to the point the way he does.
Good one, Pete. That was fun to watch.
Thanks!
3:34 - That Hurricane Ride was actually manufactured by Frank Hrubetz & Co.
I would definitely be a $5 Patreon member... I love your aesthetic and passion. Your format is lovely. I would love to see you have the $$$ and time to pursue this love.
And i'm not saying your work is only worth $5 but i'm a working man too.. As a collective.
4:38 a hurricane
I work for fun time shows when u was there filming this I was the merry go around operator
Cool! I really enjoyed that show. Lots of nice looking equipment!
Wow....what a great and loaded episode, great job and love the "ride of the week" addition to it. Not related to you Nephew, but what are they asking for the unit?
Hi not my uncle! Lol.
Thanks so much for the kind words. He was asking $5k
@@PeteRondeau Agree, that a little strong of a price for the condition. I think Russ Kissel has one as a collectible, but not on the show. Again, great episode and I'll tell your Aunt hi...
Mr. Rondeau Jeff Barry from Lebanon I thought you live near York also, I believe there’s a KOA and I don’t know if it’s still Lebanon County or Schuylkill county near Pine Grove I believe it’s called twin Grove Park. They restored a lot of antique rides and they started a small amusement park with in the campground. I’m not sure but I think they have one of these little number six Ferris wheels I hope I’m right because I don’t want to steer you wrong.
I didn’t see a email link. Just a bunch of others
I appreciate your content. How does one reach you regarding a Ferris wheel refurbish?
Our contact email is on the channel page with the other channel links- it used to be on the channel about page but youtube took that away and now crams all the links right under the channel description at the top of the page.
What's the dead line on this ride?
Hello Pete! Those Buick parts are known as "Ventiports". Hope that helps you in your quest to find/make more. Be well!
it's nice to score a Hoffman pannel that haven't been turned to swiss cheese.
So to correct just a small thing while eyerly aircraft co did manufacture the original spider ride the one it this video is produced by battech enterprises ... You can tell by the different tubs i believe they own the old eyerly patents and rights and are now bringing this classic back with some updates glad they brought this classic back to modern midways honestly hope this helps
Battech is the successor company to Dartron, and bought ORI Industries, the successor to the successor of Eyerly Aircraft. The ride in this video doesn’t appear to be trailer mounted; it might not be a Black Widow, but a modified Spider…certainly with the new style tubs, possibly also with the new electric drive, but with the original Spider center and sweeps.
Edit: it definitely has the Black Widow electric drive. You can tell by the push button controls.
Dartron, incidentally, is the successor to the successor of Hrubetz. Frank Hrubetz was Lee Eyerly’s business partner until he started his own company, so by buying ORI, Battech has caused the corporate family tree to un-fork.
@@RideManDave thanks for this info im a bit of a carny nerd appreciate anything i cam kearn about older rides and companies
Thanks for the info!
Great video Pete! Fun time shows looks like they run a really nice show. Their equipment looks great! I may be interested in the Eli Wheel if you could get me the information I would really appreciate it. If it's up by you it shouldn't be too far from me.
