Dragon Wagon Roller Coaster Setup / The Orient Express
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 вер 2024
- Visiting the carnival grounds to see a few more rides set up. This time we are focusing on the Dragon Wagon / Orient Express kiddie roller coaster manufactured by Wisdom Enterprises. This is a classic portable roller coaster ride from the 1990's.
Watch them set up the Wave Swinger / Swing Carousel Next! • Swing Carousel Carniva...
I'm fascinated by the way carnival rides are engineered to fold up and stow away for storage and travel and I seem to learn a new trick with each ride.
Thanks to Jay and the crew from Majestic Midways for giving me the opportunity to document the setup of this classic carnival ride.

Pete can you record the super shot ride getting set up I want to see how they set it up plsss
You 👏 Have 👏 No 👏 Idea 👏 how much I love this channel.
I love hearing that!
Looks like a pretty fun job tbh
That is a really nice looking ride 👍 I bet it would be really cool seeing it lit up at night too with all that amazing scenery 👌
Great video Pete! Amazing how they fit everything on one trailer. Thanks and please keep the setup videos cool!!
Thanks, will do!
So the tethered version is like a model train on steroids! Love it! 3:15
This is so cool! I love these videos of settings up the rides!
Miss your videos so glad your back
Thank you! I've had a lot of distractions this summer.
Great video Pete. I am amazed that was all on one pickup pulled trailer.
Yeah, pretty impressive.
Awesome video! I've always been fascinated with how these rides are set up. Im always excited about your next video.
Glad you like them!
Great video Pete!! Thats a nice looking ride. I appreciate all the work you put into your videos.
Thanks Tim!
Looks like a lot of ideas from this one on how to rack your rides.
Yeah, I think we can steal a few ideas here.
I’m currently trying to make a 1/64th scale carnival in which the rides can fold up just like the full size ones. These videos are incredibly helpful. Most of the time the exact methods of assembly are just too small but watching these gives me tons of ideas on how to make it work on the models
Can u plsssssssss make a series of building it
Great video & very informative, I love seeing how these rides are set up. Thank you
Glad you like them!
That has pretty nice scenery
Omg this coaster.. it's so cute! :)
Stunning thanks 😊
What a week so far yesterday big round wheel with a new video now today this one
Thanks for another great video.
You bet! Thanks for still following along!
Very cool, Pete! Not to be confused with Wagon Dragons. (flight attendants)
Can't say I've ever heard that nickname before.
Thanks for sharing, love the ride setup videos!!!
Glad you like them!
It's just always amazing how much engineering they put into these things and that it had to all be done by hand/limited computers. Some really smart people came up with these things!!
Thank you for sharing Pete
Very welcome
great idea for the next carnical ride set up
do the ring off fire / fire ball looping ride
Thanks for the video!
You're welcome!
It's nice to see how they build it a bit like a puzzle.
Lots of Tab A into Slot B
I bet these engineers were some clever people! Wonder about their process, did they build mockups or anything? Seems impossible to get it done purely on paper and not make any mistakes.
Hi Pete 👋
You should do the downdraft set up next
Man
can we get a video on a ghost train? i cant find any videos of those getting build but 3, while i find those the most interesting as they fit so much on such little space
Believe me, nothing would make me happier. I've been involved with haunted attractions for the last 25 years and love everything about them. Finding one record is a bit tough though. If given the opportunity I would jump at the chance!
It is in th uk but try slothy vlogs
Interesting informative video
Glad you liked it
I was riding on tilt a whirl at walworth County fair 😀
Every year at my state fair they have a full on wild mouse, I could not even imagine setting that up.
You know its getting serious when you need a crane to help assemble a ride.
@@PeteRondeau if you ever get a chance to do a wild mouse for this series please go for it!! would be super cool
@@PeteRondeau Holy COW!!!
Pete thx for your videos im from austria and im a attraction boy :D its nice to see how setting up the old attractions . Greez Chris
Glad you like them!
Hello Pete nice video as usual👍🏻,I would love to see a setup video of a battech cliff hanger ride a really like this ride but I never have the chance to see it here in France, this ride is build in the same idea of the sizzler:all fit on 1 trailer it can be a good video too see 😉
I love the Dragon Wagon!
Thanks for watching!
Nice!
Thanks! And thanks for your continued support!
That thumbnail is beautiful!
Speaking of dragons, any chance (no pun intended) could you show how a Sea Dragon sets up? The portable version of that ride is getting rare.
I don't have access to that ride at the moment, but if the opportunity presents itself, I'd be happy to!
@@PeteRondeau Thanks, that ride is a little obscurer and I've always wanted to see it setup, Especially an original one.
(For example Classic Rides Amusements) is probably the last one out there with the full original scenery and props, Love all your carnival content!
Can you do a set up video on the orbiter ride that is my all-time favorite ride?
I'm happy to do any ride setup that is offered to me- although I do have a preference for the older ones. Not only do I need to find the ride, but I need to find an operator that will allow me the unrestricted access to record the process. so, finding the ride is actually the easy part.
I wonder if this ride is stored inside, because that amazing lack of rust for 34 years
Yes, It is stored inside. But on top of that, all their rides are periodically stripped down, rebuilt, and repainted over the winter months. They do two or three every winter.
Vertigoooooo plissss
it verterestion how tdifferent this one is compared to the other ones that I'm familiar with, this one is powered while the other have a tire drive propulsion and a bunny hill and the trains in this one are more for little chilren to ride while the other can have chilren and adultes riding togeather.
Yes, if you notice the family version in the "Ride of the week" segment, it is a much bigger ride. It is built on a fifth-wheel trailer. It's over the road weight was 18,000 pounds rather than 12,000 like the one I was documenting
Did we just switch from ashtpault to grass??
Yes? I mentioned that this was from an earlier carnival but I wanted to include the footage to show it being hauled by a pickup truck.
@PeteRondeau you deserve way more subs then you got. Your a amazing dude and thanks for showing. Can you find a mulligan wheel 2 trailer and show it being set up
