big respect to the chaps. Id say that building up the waltzer, gallopers and dodgems are the hardest machines to get ready.....

Done this for 5 years in early 80's. Platforms winched back then. Everything else was by hand. Girders and cars was a killer as they was in an artic trailer. Getting trams out was a finger chopper as they was old wooden type with steel top located under the paybox. Would i do it all again? HELL YEAH 😆.

I've always wondered where these rides are bought and how much they cost.
