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.

New stuff

So its been  a wile since I posted. Well I have some new stuff to show case.
                                The sidewinder now has electric green led lights. The real ride doesn't have led lights but the led lights put off the super bright green glow the real one has.
                    The super shot now has tan and yellow pipe cleaners going up its length
                                         But when the lights are on, they are led lit.
                                         The scat is back and is better than ever.
                                                And also has electric lights.
             The hi rollers lights are on, and now the right side panel has cool white led lights.
                        The rapid slide has joined the midway, and now has flags,
                                                                  And lights.
 
                      A new wayout swings have been built, painted and lit.
                                                                    With led lights aswell.
                                      The hustler has been built. It now has better décor,
                                                           and lights aswell.
              The chair swings and other wayout swings now have electric lights.
 The new pink and yellow wayout swings shown for the first time here.
                              The expo wheel now has some new editions to it.
  The winch that folds and unfolds the wheel now has a motor on it, making it more efficient. (the sweeps also now have X shaped spacers in the middle. They are hard to see in these pics)
 An all new bally has been added to it. Its the first custom bally I have done. (see carnival terminology for bally)
The real bally mine is based off of. Fun fact, I estimate around 10-20% of setup/teardown on rides is nothing but décor. Such as attaching ballys (expo wheel), un folding feather lights (swings), attaching flags (expo wheel), putting together cluster lights (super shot), raising signs (slides), and other décor. In fact, around 60% of the hustlers setup is pure décor. Take away the signs, and ballys, and gate cluster lights, and it would take like 20 minutes to set up. (that's the real ride not the knex ride, the knex ride takes around 15 minutes to get up)
Other changes not shown here are the new skydiver, led RGB lights on the purple paratrooper, green led lights on the spider, red paratrooper, old paratrooper, eli hy 5 2, carousel, and dinosaurs now have electric lights.
