Well if Festa is supposed to be a Fair theme, then they really nailed the put-up-in-the-field look...

True, but that time would be worked into the quote given at bid time. A rival manufacturer who may have bid on the job originally (assuming there were multiple bidders for the FHP ride) would still have the site info for the lot. That said, if this went down the way we think, Intamin offered...

They scrapped Hypersonic right as I started to brave up to the larger rides. The biggest gripe I had was how short of a ride it was with a very long wait. I remember the ride easily having 1-2 hour waits on some days, even at the end of its life. I do wish I had tried it, but from what my dad...

News Flash: Machines rarely work perfectly the first time you try. Speaking from experience.

Usually when we power stuff up, we test everything... and I mean everything before we try to start the machine. Even before power up we use a multimeter to check that every wire goes where it supposed to and nothing is shorted. On the systems I do, this takes a matter of hours to a day. I...
