Rocket Power/Gauntlet- Huss (or Intamin?)

Dodgems- Mack

Balloon Race- Zamperla

Frenzoid- Ride Trade (Intamin)

Coasterbruh was working for each of these companies while the rides were being built.

Ok, the name on the bumper cars themselves says they were made in Italy.

Thanks, I am researching the kiddy rides now. Chopper Chase, I have no clue. But the others should be easy to find. Bi-planes and Balloons are Zamperla. Swing Time I think is too. The Jetliners could be Chance, since they are a mini-wipeout.

I don't think the Jetliners are a form of the Wipeout/Trabant. Doesn't it lack the crazy top-like up and down motions that those rides have?

I think Chopper Chase is a Morgan ride. Not too sure though...

<a href='http://www.flatrides.com/Ride%20Index%20Pages/rainbow.html' target='_blank'>Huss = Rainbow</a>
<a href='http://www.flatrides.com/Ride%20Index%20Pages/fallingstar.html' target='_blank'>Chance = Falling Star</a>

You can tell ours is Chance because the Huss' have one main boom that connects to the rider platform and Chance has more of an "A" frame shape holding up the rider platform. <a href='http://www.pbase.com/jamminj/image/15738294' target='_blank'>Rocket Power = "A" frame = Chance</a>

... now if I could just get a pic of that plaque..

Rocket Power's paint scheme makes me want to vomit. I feel sorry for the ride ops that have to stare at that early in the morning...

Ok, you win. I agree, hate the paint. Too bright.

I hate how they took the roof off the station; now you can't wait in the shade.

Well it could be a darker paint but it is rocker powers' theme color. But the green is ugly.
