To make that Zipper ( yes, Zipper, not Zinger, lol ) look more authentic , turn 2 of those Zipper cages to where they're facing one another, while the other two are facing the same way as they were. On the real Zipper, when the ride is loading, & two cages are at the very top, they're (sometimes) facing one another, not facing the same way. Just letting you know incase you wanted to do that. I have a Lemax Zipper back in 2008, sold it, kept the cages though as I made mine to resemble the real cages. I added those white skinny metal bars to the backs of each cage, giving each a more realistic look. I plan on buying another one real soon & doing just what I mentioned, letting 4 of the 6 cages face each other like on the real ride, while the other two face the current direction..
+001GenLee The Zinger is one of the better manufactured Lemax Rides! Whatever you do, don't break it as it is very hard to repair - the plastic is thin so repairs are not practical and the repaired area will always be a weak structural point.
I got a question on the Lemax Kiddie Cruise. Does anyone know if you can fill it with real water? It looks like it may but I do not want to ruin it if it won't.
+tramdr I can confirm that it will hold real water - BUT, I don't recommend it as if water splashes over the low wall INTO the inside area, you will short out the motor and fry some of your very basic electronics.
Laurie Thanks. No trees, streets or people because I was in the process of building the carnival and shot the video to see if I liked where I put the buildings/rides before I added everything else. (Learned that lesson the hard way...twice) The next video was going to be the completed version, but a few days after I shot this video, I found out we were moving so I ended up packing everything up instead of finishing the project.
Robert Kolsin It’s called Mr. Christmas Gold Label World’s Fair Big Top. I think it’s retired. Try eBay. Lemax makes a ‘Big Top’ too. I think those are still for sale at a reasonable price.
BTW, pay close attention to your metatags and video descriptions - they play a very important part in making sure your videos reach the correct audience. Good Luck!
jepley77 I purchased it on eBay. It is 8’ x 2’. Super rare, therefore super expensive. (Embarrassing to admit I paid $650, but no regrets) It’s called Disney’s California Screamin’ Roller Coaster. Check out pammyj100 - My Christmas Village 2013/2014. Her village is AMAZING. That’s where I first saw the roller coaster.
each one of this Lemax rides is around 100 USD, u have more then 800-900 USD worth of rides only by lemax, and i dont' wanna know even how much that Disney coaster cost
THIS.... is gorgeous!!!
Love this so much! Beautiful job 😍
Keep up the great work! Cheers!

Where did you get the roller coaster? This carnival is wonderful!
I purchased the roller coaster on eBay in 2013. It’s called Disney’s California Screamin’ Roller coaster.

+Derrick Windsor Thanks, couldn't find the answer anywhere.
You still have carnival?
Hia are all the Lemax carnival rides the right scale to the houses too? All the same scale? Lovely display BTW.
Yes all lemax houses are the same scale
Love this!! Need some trees, street, & extra people (where's the crowd that's not on rides yet?). Awesome start tho!

@@emform1 Oh no! Well, no time like the present to start in again!
this video is so cool, I can never get enough of watching it.how did you manage to hide all of the wires and attachments to each ride so perfectly?
Omg I love that rollar coaster, can u tell me the name of it and where u got it from ? Thanks
nrivera6940 Thanks! It is Disney's California Screamin' Roller Coaster. They don't make them anymore. I purchased it on eBay.
I paid $650 for the roller coaster on eBay. I had to have it. It is gigantic. To put it in perspective, the table is 8 feet long.
hey i have that roller coaster also!
Looks amazing! Where would I find the roller-coaster I can't find it anywhere!
Thanks. The roller coaster is Disney's California Screamin'. I found it on eBay.
+emform1 Just curious, but does the coaster run or is it static / for looks?
+001GenLee Yes, it does move, but it runs on batteries and I forgot to turn it on. Oops.
OMG , looks awsome.
I am selling my carnival I in Gympie anyone interested
Where did you find the circus tent
Robert Kolsin It’s called Mr. Christmas Gold Label World’s Fair Big Top. I think it’s retired. Try eBay. Lemax makes a ‘Big Top’ too. I think those are still for sale at a reasonable price.
Where did you get the hot dog stand? Who makes it?
It's called "Frankie's Hot Dogs," and it's made by Dept. 56. They are retired, but I got mine on Ebay.
BTW, pay close attention to your metatags and video descriptions - they play a very important part in making sure your videos reach the correct audience. Good Luck!
Does the roller coaster actually work? This is so neat!
Yes, the roller coaster works, but unfortunately, I forgot to turn it on before I filmed the video. ☺️
@@emform1 may i ask where you got your roller coaster from? I've been looking for one for my village
