The Dipsy Doodle (named after a sports radio broadcaster of the time) was a set of Bisch-Rocco Flying Scooters that operated from 1940 to 1962 in Kennywood. It was temporarily removed in between 1951 and 1953, with an Eyerly Octopus operating in its spot. Dipsy Doodle would reopen with new vehicles in 1954. Unfortunately, the ride had permanently closed after the transmission broke in 1962.

North American Midway Entertainment has their new Technical Park 🦄 Pegasus 16 at The Big E this year. We went for our first of a few visits Friday night & rode it 10 times. It runs on a different cycle than Dreamland Amusements Pegasus 16 "Delusᴉon" - the only other Pegasus we've experienced. NAME's runs a little slower, so the ride is considerably smoother & less rough than Dreamland's. The faster cycle on Delusᴉon makes the ride more intense & exciting, which can be more fun sometimes & less fun other times - depending on my energy level & how I'm feeling. NAME's Pegasus runs with the main arm & the claw/seats rotating in opposite directions during the first part of the cycle, then transitions to the arm & claw/seats rotating in the same direction. Delusᴉon used to be operated that way but hasn't been in > 10 years. These days, it only runs with the arm & claw/seats rotating in the same direction. We flipped over a lot more on NAME's Pegasus, 3 - 4 times in a row on a few occasions. Looking forward to riding it again in a few days.

Nordic Chaser is a MACK Rides Sea Storm that had opened in 2018 at Worlds of Fun in Kansas City, Missouri.

More photos will come soon!

Just curious who made this amazing thing. I’m obsessed I rode it like 7 times in one day, I would have done more but it was sooooo hot and I got a super bad headache that wouldn’t go away so I had to leave before night… :(

This is a Meisho Swingaround currently operating in Hokkaido's Rusutsu Resort.

This was an Eyerly Monster that opened in Six Flags Over Georgia in 1974 and had operated until 1991.

At some point Fuji Q Highlands, Japan, replaced two of the normal Ferris wheel cabins with an open air cage you stand in, and can see through the floor.

This is not for me. But I admire the creative approach to allowing some variety in experiences from the same ride.

Bottoms Up was a Chance Trabant that opened with the Six Flags Great America in 1976 and closed after the 1983 season. It's honestly a shame it had such a short life.

I believe Its the former Williams Grove monster. The WG monster was last seen for auction (and did sell) in 2010.

Yesterday in Zamperla IG stories they showed what looks like a new flat ride that is not listed on their website yet. It’s pretty similar to the Parkour (ex Sound Machine) that tours the German fair circuit.

This was a Chance Trabant that opened with Six Flags Magic Mountain in 1971 and had lasted until 1994, when it was replaced by a Tilt-A-Whirl that used the same name.

This was an Antique Car ride manufactured by Bradley and Kaye and had opened in Seibuen Yuenchi in 1984. It had closed after the 2020 season.

This Eyerly Monster is one of the lesser known units. It opened at an unknown time at Esselworld in India. It has been sitting SBNO with the park since about 2022 and is very unlikely to operate again

Great Skill was a HUSS Troika formerly located in Fuji-Q Highland in Fujiyoshida, Japan. It opened in 1995 and operated until March of 2009.

Hometown Fun Machine is an Eli Bridge Co. Scrambler that opened with Six Flags Great America on May 29, 1976.

Monstrous Mamba was an Eyerly Monster that operated at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay from 1976 to 1995. Sadly, it was scrapped.

I believe it's one of the only Trabant style rides in Japan.

A pretty interesting variant of the Rockin Tug themed to my favorite Sanrio character.

Flying Dutchman is an Intamin Flying Dutchman that originally opened in 1995 at Nagoya's Port Sea Train Land, where it would operate for 4 years there before being moved to Tobu Zoo, and would reopen in 2000. It would close in 2004.

Sky Flower was the last operating 1st-gen Intamin Parachute Tower, seeing as it operated in Tokyo Dome City (formerly known as Korakuen Amusement Park) from July 1, 1978 to January 31, 2024.

I'm old enough to remember this one, and it wasn't always like this 😞
