So now that I've finally learned the Jedi art of snapping, I am absolutely obsessed with flying scooters. Over the weekend, I was talking with a friend about buying a set. The simplicity of the ride seems like it would be a fairly inexpensive ride. I've been doing a little research trying to figure out how much a new set from Larson would cost and how much a used set from Bisch Rocco might go for, but not finding any price info. Anyone know? No, I'm not seriously thinking I can have my own personal set of flyers anytime soon, but am curious as to what it would take. My friend is much more likely to get her own set before I do, but I do have the land for it. Maybe someday.... ;)
Thanks, Chuck. I can snap the 8-tub Larsons, well one set anyway. ;) Why oh why did Adventureland have to get rid of their scooters for the freakin' Balloon Race? :(
Yeah, I know there would be additional costs, such as refurbishment, shipping, and installation, etc... Last weekend at IB, I was speculating that Air Crow's platform over the water and overall construction costs may have been more than the actual ride. At such an "affordable" price, it's amazing more parks don't have flying scooters! They need to be enlightened. ;)
Acoustic Viscosity said:Dude! They have two Reverchon Explorers for sale! Drool... So wish I had the funds to buy these for my home park and let them take care of them for me
Don't be greedy. ;) I'll be more than happy to take one of those Explorers from you. Thank you.
Yeah, I miscommunicated that. I only want one. "These" was refering to additional goodies. I haven't ridden an Explorer in at least 15 years. Those things rock! Gator got to ride on a couple of weeks ago. :p
^ What can I say, I'm a flatride junkie...we didn't even "Hang Ten", Matt....we hung TWENTY! Ohio State Fair turned out to be a perfect addition to the trip!
Even got what I believe was my first ride on an Anton Polyp (as far as I can remember, anyhow)....East River Crawler... :)
...and yes, it will ALL be in the mega-TR/photo review. Finally got all the pics organized on the work 'puter today... :)

I agree that Adventureland needs one. Of course, I wouldn't be agains the park getting a Boomerang or SLC either -- they really need a new looping coaster at the park.
