Funland Rehoboth

Ok, I’ve been slacking. Here are some new pictures of the SuperFlip, with Megan G. as the operator

I guess in all the hupla, I forgot to mention that we decided to go with SuperFlip. Logan Ginder came up with the name, and it sure does suit it well.
Got the center spinner repainted to reflect the name, along with a banner along each side of the main arm.
I’ll get pictures soon….
We had some [...]

We started taking paying guests after we had a little test run with Funlanders after work last night. All the kids said it was a solid ride and were screaming to prove it!
After a long day of finishing up the ramps and railings, nailing on a good bit of the pickets, Mark and I opened [...]

Had a pretty good day today, getting the first glimpses of the operation of the new ride. Yep, still not sure what we will call it, so if anybody has some suggestions after looking at the pictures below, let us know! Alberto Paganelli from Moser rides arrived Sunday afternoon, and got right at making sure [...]

New paint was in order for some of the fixtures at Funland. We’ve started refinishing the horses on the carousel, and they look nice!The Skyfighters were looking pretty tired too, so they were spruced up with new basecoat and some zippy accents! Opening Saturday…… I think we will make it. We are [...]

It’s been a nail-biting couple of weeks here. We’ve been through the process of permits, and DNREC approval, and finally we got the concrete boys of Shea Concrete back in the park to finish up forming and pouring concrete(tomorrow we hope).I will post some pictures of the process soon! 

Ron from Dan Barkley Trucking showed up first thing this morning. By 8 AM, we had his tractor in the door, which was no small feat in itself; the tractor was all but as big as the one that brought the ride here 10 years ago!
It took him multiple jacks and turns to get [...]

The manufacturer’s name is “Flipping Action Arm,” but we’re looking into something a little catchier. Stay tuned for more pictures as we transport this ride from its present location in [...]
