Yea man. Was the Head Ride Safety and Ops Trainer way back when too. Trained people on every ride obviously, including in your video the Skydiver, which Jay gave me the sign to in 2000 and it's in my yard, both Giant Wheels, the old Loop O Plane, Cityjet, etc. Yea man any questions feel free to ask. When I was 16 I also frequently worked the old Music Express and when I started working spring maintenance I was on the team that took down the old one and put up the new one, in like 99 or 00.

@@Actors317 Speaking of which, I found a couple days ago that a park called Gloria's Fantasyland in Dapitan City, Philippines had bought it when Wonderland removed it and they spent 4-5 years working on it (probably because it is prone to have a lot of downtime), but it finally reopened in late 2016 as Sky Drop. It's one of the very few Sling Shots left operating.

It was a used wheel when they got it and already very antiquated technology. It used a cable drive instead of hydraulic. It also used an air brake which was awesome by the way! . It was dismantled and sold to a park in South Africa. The new wheel was the first Giant Wheel that company produced. The original wheel was a lot larger FYI. The owners decided a more reliable and newer system would be cost effective. The same company built the smaller wheel at Playland.

The old wheel was 138 feet high but the cars came almost to ground level to load. The newer one is 146 feet but if you notice the wheel itself gets loaded from the boardwalk level deck and is raised. The overall circumference of the older was bigger and if I remember it had 36 cars but they were like twice the size of the newer ones cars which has either 36 or 38.

Do you remember Antonio's eyes opening in the 90's at all?

@Toaster003

Actually I have a theory. In the 90s, Bubba’s arms didn’t move and Antonio’s eyes didn’t open. Then in the 2000s and 2010s, Antonio has his eyes open most of the time and Bubba’s arms move. Then when they put the old dialogue back in, Bubba’s arms stopped moving again, but Antonio’s eyes are ALWAYS OPEN. My theory: the programming from the 90s is working properly on Bubba’s arms, but with Antonio’s eyelids, *it’s reversed.* I’m not sure how accurate this is but I think it’s an interesting theory.
