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 units


So come carnival company's have what are called units. They usually have enough rides to do a medium sized carnival/fair. And when necessary, they bring the 2 units together to do large events. There are usually 2. Well Shenandoah shows has units to. The rides in each unit usually pertain to a specific company the rides are from. Like all the rides from powers will go together and so forth. I have 4 units. unit V, unit S, unit I, and unit O. each letter pertains to the company the rides are based off of, but I will not tell what the company's are. But I will say that O stands for other, where there are like 2 rides from various company's and cant make up 1 full unit from that company. Below I will list the rides in each unit.
