This is the kind of thing I absolutely love! How hard they work, how everything packs up so small, has a specific place during transit, but turns into a whole attraction. Plus, they do it all kinds a weather both setting up and tearing down, day or night multiple times a season! It would be great to see more videos like this! Thanks!!
Built it up, pulled it down, minded it, loaded the cars, rubbed it down for painting and travelled with it for many years when Leonard had it, spent hours working on it!
More of these please. The build up is easy the most fascinating part of the fairs. I stay up for 12 hours watching my local being built and dismantled every year
Enjoying your build up funfair vlogs. More of this please !! Pull down vlogs would be good too.. We don't realise and appreciate the work that's involved by the showmen to setting up a funfair. Great to see an insight to what work they do to get the fair up and running. Keep going... Love your style of filming. Thanks.
Love your build-up videos, hopefully you can do more for 2021, love the Gardner diesel generator on the left, best generators ever! Those gnat things are horrible, they hatch out of the grass, they use to spawn like that when I was at high school and cling to the walls. A showman once told me: "it's better to build-up when it's raining then have the fair open when it's raining". Showmen are legends, they are acrobats (balancing and climbing on beams and ladders to build-up rides), engineers, electricians, carpenters, welders and painters and awesome lorry drivers, they don't get the credit they deserve, this video shows the skills needed to be a showman
Fascinating stuff, these are classic rides in my opinion better then the double decker ones. Always imagined that the owners would actually buy them from somewhere though and they’d come with assembly instructions like Ikea furniture! Very cool 😎
After all the chaos of my usual UA-cam viewings, I found this video incredibly relaxing, soothing and down to earth 🤗. I've been on a few of these ghost train rides in my life... But it was about 2013 when I actually dared to open my eyes whilst on board one... 😂 true story.
You need to do more of these type of vlogs, they are such fascinating vlogs and give a full incite in what these showmen have to do to put these fairs on
Reece is very patient and really good at teaching the young lad how things are done, he looks out for his health and safety, encourages him and jokes around. I really enjoyed watching this video, thanks for filming it... I don't know how they managed to built this without injury haha you two mucking about all the time distracting them loool nightmare. Love to come and watch one of these builds if you're ever near the north london/ essex area.
To watch him do this in real time, this is extraordinary. Only half way though the video, and almost all the floors, walls, and effect al, all done! Brilliant!
I never log onto you tube but after watching your build up vids I just had to log in so I could compliment you. I LOVE that stuff!!! This one was GREAT!
LOVE set up vids, thanks for posting. If you get a chance to do more please do. Yeah I'm with you, ghost trains are up there for me in terms of my fave rides. That one looks decent, unfortunately many don't! I don't envy those boys. I once asked for work at our local fair when in my teens, was sent to help build up the dodgems. Helped for the day but that was enough for me!
Am abit late to the party but I fully enjoyed watching that ,when I was a lot younger I used to work for the lads nappy and billy bates in leicester part time but it wasn’t for long ,they seem a good crew there. I wish I was still doing it now. Hands in pockets lol but not the thieving type. 💪🏻💙👊🏻
Thank YOU so Much for posting this video !!! I have been waiting for Years to see this. Always wanted to see how a ghost train was build. This is Amazing !!! Thank you so Much !!!
Very cool to see this ! Interesting how this is actually a ,,big“ one in the UK , just made me realize how lucky I am to have the really big ones from Mack , like the Daemonium or Geisterstadt here in Germany ! But the Graveyard Express still looks pretty good ! Awesome video ! 😁👍🏻
I used to work on a ride similar to that ghost train here in the states, ours was two sections on two trailers(wagons) so it was obviously twice the size called "Elm Street". Yep, I've been punched before. Lots of fun, really hard life.
Loving this one Dave & Si, excellent account of what it takes to build up a ride, and customers not realising what it takes to make it happen. Thanks for sharing this vlog!
This is a great build up vlog of the Ghost Train you managed to capture there Dave and probably one of your best too it just great to see our these rides get built up - Nice 1 guys 👍👍
well done dave another really good video i have been watching your video sense 2019 last year and every video always makes me happy i love your content and i would love for your channel to hit 100k subscribers and i would also love to see more videos like this as well keep up the good work mate and also double thumbs up
Such an awesome vlog, enjoyed every second, I’ve always been fascinated with ride build ups ever since I was a kid, love how it’s all on a lorry and it transforms into a ride, would love to see more of these type of vids, cheers dave/si for a very interesting vlog 👍
Thank you for this video. My local Agricultural Fair has a similar ride called the Haunted Mansion. Pretty much the exact same trailer and set up. Just diffrent scares and theme. I've noticed diffrent ride companies tend to customize thier haunted house ride as they see fit. This one is a ghost train theme.
Hey guys. i am a fluorescent light enthusiast. Most fairgrounds are now ripping the old coloured coloured tubes out of waltzers and similar rides, and replacing them with these more modern strips of individual bulbs with coloured bell-shaped plastic shades, and also much more modern LED types. On your many interesting travels, have you come across any rides or attractions that still have these "Old School " coloured tubes still in use. I think I noticed some on the Rifle Range at Burseldon, but not sure as it wasnt close enough.. Great video by the way. I can see you have an interest in old school methods etc..
Brilliant vlog! Always fascinated by how much you can fit inside one of these classic Ghost Trains. Same layout/cars as the ride at Dingles. Used to love operating that ride. Thanks guys - you’ve earned yourselves a new subscriber.
Best video you have put out so far Dave. Double thumbs up 👍👍
Ahhh thanks so much! Really watching and filming this ... Will do more
@@SlothyVlogs p
36:55 Was the smoothest move I've ever seen lol!
I know right! Proof he is doing this since a long time.
omg
also 45:02
i don't know why this was in my recommended but this was far more interesting than i first thought! good stuff!
Thank you so much 😁 glad you gave it a chance
I love love love carnivals. Grew up on them. Mom and Dad knew how to have a good time during the inflation times.
36:55 well that was smooth
Hello
The ladder bit? Yeah I thought the same thing.
One of your best vlogs yet. Fascinating. Reece is a legend.
This is the kind of thing I absolutely love! How hard they work, how everything packs up so small, has a specific place during transit, but turns into a whole attraction. Plus, they do it all kinds a weather both setting up and tearing down, day or night multiple times a season! It would be great to see more videos like this! Thanks!!
Amazing to know, Thanks
Amazing how they find everything at hand. Master of organization
Double thumbs up for slothy vlogs👍👍
A classic! I loved these rides when I was young. They're still around here but, not as many as when I was young.
I am obsessed by ghost trains and your videos so this is a dream to me. Well done and thank you.
Built it up, pulled it down, minded it, loaded the cars, rubbed it down for painting and travelled with it for many years when Leonard had it, spent hours working on it!
Thanks for that
Love this video! My favorite kind of ride! 👍
Love to watch the Tear-down and Set-up of Rides ! Especially Ghost Trains and Dark Rides, those are always favorites !
More of these please. The build up is easy the most fascinating part of the fairs.
I stay up for 12 hours watching my local being built and dismantled every year
The only ghost train build up on UA-cam I found and it's the best!
Thank you
No problem :) I'm a fan
Ghost trains are basically my life! this is brillaint to see!
Thank you 😁
Enjoying your build up funfair vlogs. More of this please !! Pull down vlogs would be good too..
We don't realise and appreciate the work that's involved by the showmen to setting up a funfair.
Great to see an insight to what work they do to get the fair up and running. Keep going... Love your style of filming. Thanks.
Amazing how it assembles. A lot of thought went in to the design. The tarp roof was a surprise for me.

Who put a thumbs down on the vlog melts! Sort your life out!
What not to like fascinating watching this beast being built,quality again gents
Very interesting to see how it's all set up Would definitely be interested in seeing some more build up Vlogs in the future
Yep, Will try and do more for sure
Fascinating stuff, these are classic rides in my opinion better then the double decker ones. Always imagined that the owners would actually buy them from somewhere though and they’d come with assembly instructions like Ikea furniture! Very cool 😎
Unlike most funfair dark rides, this one is actually dark, no sunlight entering
After all the chaos of my usual UA-cam viewings, I found this video incredibly relaxing, soothing and down to earth 🤗. I've been on a few of these ghost train rides in my life... But it was about 2013 when I actually dared to open my eyes whilst on board one... 😂 true story.

To watch him do this in real time, this is extraordinary. Only half way though the video, and almost all the floors, walls, and effect al, all done! Brilliant!
Thanks so much, Really glad you enjoyed this
THIS WAS FIRST BLOG I SAW OF HOURS JUST BY ACCIDENT. SUBSCRIBED AND BEEN ADDICTED EVER SINCE. ..😂😂😂👍👍
Would love to see more assembly videos, especially of the big thrill rides
Super cool super scary stuff and super fun watching
I never log onto you tube but after watching your build up vids I just had to log in so I could compliment you. I LOVE that stuff!!! This one was GREAT!
Always has been something that fascinates me
Im rrally into it too
Call me strange but I love this stuff
Cheers guys really interesting, what an original Ghost Train too!!👍👍
Very cool it's awesome imagine all the time took to build all this😮
Got to be one of your best vlogs, what a great guy for him to let you do a vlog on him building up his ghost train. Need more like this
always wanted to see a build up of the ghost train ride really enjoyed it thanks mate.
Like how they are using metal panels for the dividers instead of plastic curtains. Nice "tricks" they created :)
As an American, this was my life for 2 years, truck driver, mechanic, and setup technician. And ride operator.
Fantastic!
LOVE set up vids, thanks for posting. If you get a chance to do more please do. Yeah I'm with you, ghost trains are up there for me in terms of my fave rides.

Thank you so much for clicking my video
that ride was pretty neat as im from Missouri USA
Am abit late to the party but I fully enjoyed watching that ,when I was a lot younger I used to work for the lads nappy and billy bates in leicester part time but it wasn’t for long ,they seem a good crew there. I wish I was still doing it now. Hands in pockets lol but not the thieving type. 💪🏻💙👊🏻

Bloody briliant! Very interesting!! Great Vlog!!
Loved seeing how the ghost Train is built up. I would love to see Albert Evans waltzer being built up.
That would be a good video yeah
@@SlothyVlogs aye. Would love to see how he controls his lights. I've seen that Cy Abbot does it via a program called ShowXpress.
Very cool to see this !
Interesting how this is actually a ,,big“ one in the UK , just made me realize how lucky I am to have the really big ones from Mack , like the Daemonium or Geisterstadt here in Germany !
But the Graveyard Express still looks pretty good !
Awesome video ! 😁👍🏻
Are they permanent structures though? I think he meant big for a fair ghost Train, there are considerably bigger permanent ones at theme parks.
Chris No , they’re both fair ghost trains
This is amazing to watch, cheers Dave
Thanks Mark
I used to work on a ride similar to that ghost train here in the states, ours was two sections on two trailers(wagons) so it was obviously twice the size called "Elm Street". Yep, I've been punched before. Lots of fun, really hard life.
Hi Simon & Hi Dave from Laura from the West Midlands UK
