wisdom ferris wheel

I realize this article is late, and I am sorry for that, but better late then never right? Today I will be showing another ferris wheel. I don't know the model, I just know its a twelve seat wisdom wheel. Well mine is eight seat, but anyways. As usual here are the steps on how it tears down.

Step 1 the 2 tower lights, and then the 4 star lights are turned on. (pics 1-2) 

Step 2 the seats are folded in (pics 3-4) This step is repeated 8 times.

Step 3 the seats are removed, and racked on the front of the trailer.(pics 5-7) This step is repeated 8 times.

Step 4 2 wires hold the front sweep in place. (pic 8)

step 5 2 of the outer ring spacers are removed and put on the rack. (pic 9)

Step 6 2 of the star pieces are removed and put on the rack. (pics 10-11)

Step 7 the crane is connected, and another 2 spacers are removed. (pics 12-13)

Step 8 the sweep is disconnected and the crane folds the sweep in.(pics 14- 15)

Step 9, the crane is repositioned, and steps 7-9 are repeated until the wheel is completely folded.(pics 16-21)

Step 10 the crane is racked.(pic22)

Step 11 the sign is raised up. (pic23)

Rock-O-Plane

The Rock-O-Plane is an interesting ride. The seats are loose, so they spin in circles. Its shaped like a star, and is one of the most accurate rides I have, as it only has 8 sweeps. Here's how it tears down.

Step one, Lights are on and truck is hooked up for power.(pics1-2)

Step two, The seats are removed and racked on 2 sides of the trailer.(pics3-5)

Step three, The main brace is removed, and the main boom lowers down.(pics6-8)

Step four, a section is folded in, and the lights are cut off for folding.(pics9-10)

Step five, the sweeps are folded, and the middle light is lowered backwards.(pics11-14)

Step six, the lights are turned back on.(pic15)

Step seven, the two seat racks are lifted.(pics16-17)

Step eight, the braces are lifted and folded in.(18-19)

Pics 20-21 the ride is done. 21 the back of ride racked. Pic 22 is the real ride!
