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)

Step 12 the sweep blocker is attached.(pic24)

Step 13 the wind braces and feet are folded in.(pics25-26)

Step 14 the tower hinge is connected and the tower is lowered.(pics27-28)

Step 15 the wind brace connectors are racked.(pic29)

Step 16 the ride is done.(pic30)

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!

I have been working, and I want to introduce 3 new rides. The newly redesigned mini scrambler(pic1), the not so new, but new to this website Rok N Rol (pic2), and the all new, never before built YoYo (pic3) More on the Rok N Rol and the YoYo will be introduced when I do an article on them. The mini scrambler still tears down the same. Check back on Sunday for the article on the Rock-O-Plane.

Swinger

The swinger is another type of swing ride. The swings have been around for a long time. With so many versions, ranging from child, to thrill ride. The wave swinger is the biggest, then the yoyo, and then the normal swinger, this one. I will show how the ride is torn down. Picture 1 is the ride with the lights one, and the last picture is of the ride it is based off of.

Step one, the tower hinge is connected.(pic1)

Step two, the tower is lowered, and the wheel evens out.(pics2-3)

Step three, the seats are removed and the cables are folded in.(pics4-6)

Step four, the feather lights are folded down.(pics7-8)

Step five the folding rack is attached.(pic9)

 Step six, the spacers fold in, and the sweeps are disconnected and fold together.(pics10-12)
