Shenandoah shows summary

This blog is a display for my projects. I make models of carnival rides out of knex and pipe cleaners and a few other items. They rack (tear down) like the real rides. If you are viewing this site for the first time let me give you a tour. Below are posts. If your new you might of missed some, so scroll threw and back to see other projects. To the right, is a tab that says pages. Click that and it will take you to a list of pages, including carnival terminology, and youtube, as well as a few others. Enjoy and comment. P.S. if you comment, don't ask me for, or leave any personal info. I ask that you address me as Shenandoah shows, or idog0698. Thank you.

The new vertigo was introduced a few weeks ago. Well here is the article. The photo caption will be under each picture.
The ride up.
The other half of the trailer that will attach to the ride.
Now half of the lights are turned off.

All of the decor on the carriage and the ballys are removed,
and stored below.
The second half of the trailer is attached.
Now you will notice the wires and the seats, sorry the picture is sideways.
well the wires are removed from the cariage sweeps.
Then the wires are wrapped around the seats and they are stored on the trailer.
Now the sweep is lowered, detached
and stored on the trailer.
All the seats and sweeps are racked.
Now the sweep connectors are folded inwards.
The connectors are folded.
Now the carriage is raised around 1 1/2 inches.
Now this is all of the connectors that hold the tower to the trailer. again sorry its sideways
The first connector is disconnected,
and folded down.
Then the center connector is disconnected,
and lowered down. Now all of the connectors are removed from the tower.
Now the tower is lowered down. The picture isn't sideways, the tower is.
The tower is lowered flat.
Looking down the length of the tower just for fun.

Now you see the flags?
well the flags are removed,
and stored on the back of the trailer.
The decor without the flags.
The inside of the decor.
Well the vertigo signs are loosened,
and detached.
All of the signs are removed.

The signs are stacked and racked on the trailer.
Now the final pieces of the decor are removed, and I have no idea what they are called.
They are then tied together with a pipe cleaner.
The top of the tower without the decor. you will see the mostly racked chair swings.

Now the hinges are attached to half of the tower.
Now the tower splits in 2.
The connectors are removed,
and racked.
Now the tower swings out,
and folds in.
The same thing happens on the other side.
