Carnivals With Coastes?

You're always repeating me, Rob ;)

Conklin has a few coasters... they have the Doppel Looping, as well as a couple more standard portable coasters.

Did Schwarzkopf ever make a portable version of their Shuttle Loop coaster?

My favorite MJ tune: "Billie Jean" which I have been listening to alot now. RIP MJ.

I don't think so. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Schwarzkopf shuttle loops...The most possible fun in 36 seconds.

A few of the big ones:

Steve Vander Vorste- Reverchon Mouse

Ray Cammack Shows- Hi Miler and Maurer Compact Spinning Coaster

Amusements of America- Reverchon Mouse and Pinfari Zyklon

John Van Hull- Pinfari Zyklon

Conklin- Schwarzkopf Doppel Looping (largest traveling coaster in North America), Schwarzkopf Wildcat and SDC Galaxi

Schwarzkopf created the Wiener Looping as a portable shuttle. In addition, I believe his Katapult rides can run in both directions, they are kind of a shuttle/flat ride hybrid.

the [Flitzer] at Ocean City NJ is pretty slow...

Gotta love the seat belts on the Flitzer at OC NJ too (as well as those on their mouse). Nylon "web" belts with those plastic clip "buckles" that you see on back packs, etc.

Now I know Flitzers (as well as the Jumbo Jets, and some Mice) used to run without any belts or restraints. I take it these "back pack straps" used as belts were retrofit? That they are more to simply prevent kids (even some adults) from doing something stupid like standing up rather than to actually stop anyone from being "ejected" by the force of the ride if they are seated?

This freakshow coaster is widely regarded as the portable version of Schwarzkopf's shuttle loops.

A few years before it was removed, a kid stood up on Morey's Jet Star and fell to his death. I think that makeshift restraits found their way to many small steel coasters because of that incident. It's probably the reason that Morey's newer Zyklon (Rollies Coaster) has OTSRs.

From the way Six Flags noves around their collection of shuttles, I'd say they were portable...but I guess you'd never see one at a carnival.

You just reminded me (well, sorta) that SFEG has an Arrow shuttle loop as well. I wish that "shuttle rotation program" would land a Schwarzkopf in NJ but so far it hasn't.
