You're a real one for shutting down that ride because your gut didn't feel right operating it like it was. Safety and going home happy and safe always outweigh the money. The money will come later. God bless

A Huge Appreciation for ALL of the Strong 💪 Efforts which is Required so Others can Enjoy themselves and have a Fun and Memorable Experience. Thanks! 👍🙏

As a Canadian citizen I have worked for many shows and to be honest you have a great show it's very clean and great help from family members as well. I would have loved working on your show indeed. Take care and have fun.

Espresso Machine is a Great Treat for ALL of the Hard Work by your Family and Employees. 👍🙏

This is your best video yet...edited well and offers a very detailed insight into a carnival week.

I would love to see more videos on these

Love watching your videos keep up gd work I am from United kingdom

I really like this style of video - the mixture of parts where you explain stuff and the parts where it is just observing what happens with original sound and no commentary is really well done.

thank you god bless what you do for every one hope you find god in your heart give your life to him and keep on being so kind from the heart can you how much it's nice to keep it in the family you have a great christmas and a safe one from me i am matthew sinner prayer sinner.

Show biz is so fun... It's kind of in my blood. I design build and install scenery. The lights, effects and mechanical stuff. I used to build large stage machinery like revolves and lifts. Safety is always number one. First for the cast and crew, but also because there is an audience of innocents on the other side of the curtain. Coming into an empty venue and knowing EXACTLY where to drop the first piece of the stage or the power distro is critical! I've only had to move a stage once and it was awful! (and not anyone's fault- the show needed the change and that was that). And it's all part of the wonderful backstage life!! Thanks for the videos!

Hey BRW! here's a suggestion to make your setups easier: On the himalaya, On the last day of either the rental or carnival, remove the decorations you dont need (crown in the middle and the top canvas) that way itll be faster to teardown.

Excellent Job as Always with Explanations and Thorough Job with your Videos. Keep up the Strong 💪 Efforts and Thanks for your Family and Employee Efforts. 👍🙏

Your organization is so First Rate!

45:28 WOW the ride lasted approximately 1minute 22seconds THATS really chintzy and probably cost $5 to ride.......I remember as a kid and young teenager in the early to late 70's all the carnivals coming thru the town where I grew up you learned the carnival company's that had really short rides and knew not to waste your hard earned money on them

Awesome video. Hope to see some in depth setup videos on the spider and Himalaya

Hi Darren , I have to say you did the right thing about the Spider because you really can't run a ride and keep it balanced. Working for different carnival shows years ago, and knowing that things wear out and have to be replaced. It was too bad you had to wait for the part from Battech there in Salem Or. but I know you are very patient. One thing is that I don't miss setting up or tearing down the rides every week or so. I love how you explain the process and love your signs, one idea for the scooter is maybe put some other fence around the ride or make with PVC pipe and some rope to go around it. ❤

Great video. I really like the detail you show and explain...can't wait for more videos

Watching something like that makes me really homesick keep them coming brother😊😊😊

Very entertaining and fun to watch. Thanks for posting this.

you are a good person

Love watching all the in depth behind the scenes of these things. Here in Australia we mainly have "carnival styles" when it comes to travelling amusements. Here, they run regardless of the weather. It can be pouring down buckets and the rides continue to run in the rain. The only factor that I've known to ever shut down rides is when the wind is too strong and too ropeable.

Awesome setting up

Hey, im a showman in the UK, i started setting my business up in April, and i started trading in August, i have a bouncy castle and an inflatable slide at the moment, im looking into getting a ride, or building a ride, as building a ride would spread the cost over many months instead of having a lump sum to find, i have been offered a junior merry go round cheap, but it wants a lot of restoration work, we call that kind of ride a "toy set" its pretty much a carousel, but theres no horses on it, and the vehicles on it dont move up and down, there just bolted down to the platform and go round with the ride, you can put spinning tea cups on it, or mini waltzer cars, but that would be a long term project, and i really need a ride that's ready to work, but there so expensive Im watching your channel for a little inspiration, see what you guys do over in the states Most of my work is private fairs, where i turn up for free and charge customers per ride or for a set amount of time, i have had a few paid events where i turn up for a set amount and customers ride for free, but there very rare here Keep up the good work, your doing great

Hi sir do you and your family do shows in Alabama sir I am watching you right now set up the rides in north Carolina we have a show that comes to our town but he doesn't bring anything for any one to ride you have got some nice rides on your show sir it would be nice to get to come to Ozark Alabama thank you Charles welch

I like the videos, glad to see you’re investing in things like lav mics. Might want to check the gains or filters, sounds a bit muffled/clipped when your voice is raised. There’s no background noise which is nice, but it might be over-filtering and clipping or something.

Great video. I had an idea for the bumper car problem. Can you put an additional fence at a given distance from ride around it. I know this would be an added expense and there could be a storage and transportation of fence could be an issue. Keep the videos coming.

Our carousel up ready for up 1hr to opening and we find issue with drive spline. Tore it down drove it to the shop. Had it back to midway a day later

I help an outfit out that comes to my town. And we always tear the tickets in half so they don't get used again

Is the "electric floor" a real hazard or is that just a scare tactic to keep people back? I thought these rides worked with the ceiling being electrified and the floor was just a ground...

Butler amusements is a big ride company

Does the fire department keep you so many feet from each ride for emergencies

One and two things that you guys should do is rip up your tickets so that you guys don't end up with rehashing people

As a matter of intrest What voltage do th bumper cars run on

Am I correct in saying that your Himalaya is actually a silver streak.

Move to Oregon and I will have your family get a crew

how many rides and booths did the other operator supply? are you allowed to mention the company name? is he/she also mainly a rental company?

I'm very disappointed in your whole company. Very educational videos and everyone seems completely normal, hard-working and likable. My whole stereotypical thought of what a Carny was is completely ruined now thanks a lot
