Thomas Etheredge plans to spend $10 million with two companies to buy amusement rides for his Wild West World amusement park. Some of that business will go to a Wichita company that has an international reputation for building amusement rides, Chance Morgan Inc.

Reithoffer Shows owns a Power Surge, which is made a little bit more unnerving because of no backup safety belt. If Reithoffer comes to your town, check ahead to see if they have it, because only one of the units will have it at a time.
^ Wow that would be creepy to ride a Zamperla or a Chance ride without a backup belt. The Intamin and B&M Harnesses feel so secure that the belt feels unneeded, but everytime I ride a Chance or Zamperla the OTSR leaves something to be desired.... the feeling of security. Most of their rides that I have ridden have a lovely .25" to .5" slot inbetween harness clicks where the harness is free to move while still locked. When I'm going upside down and hanging on a harness (since a lot of Zamperla rides like to hang you upside down), I DON'T like the harness to jolt when my weight shifts.
Backup belt? Yes Please!
