Tom Nolan, this Lions Club does not host the Shawano Co. Fair. They have a permanent both set up year around, and are just one of the non-profit vendors at the fair every year.
If anyone's wondering how heavy those wind braces are on that Ferris Wheel, well, they are VERY Heavy! I helped J & J Amusements tear down their Sky Diver and the wind braces on a Sky Diver are SUPER Heavy!! You need 2 or 3 BIG guys to help taking one windbrace off from the Sky Diver.
oo1GenLee+ I would hope so, for strength and safety. Larger the traveling Ferris Wheel, the larger [heavier] those beams are. Park Models use much heavier wind braces, even though they are the same size as this Ferris Wheel. I have set up and taken down both American flat rides and Europe flat rides, and Europe rides are larger, taller, faster, and heavier and require cranes to set up and take down, unlike lighter American travel flat rides. American travel flat rides are designed to set up and take down faster with less need for cranes.
