Zipper Transformation - Post 8 - June 28th, 2016

PAINT = PROGRESS

The process of making a ride like new again requires a lot of breaking it down to its most basic parts. Each of those parts are cleaned and inspected to ensure that they are in perfect condition.  Once all of that takes place the process of putting the ride back together begins but that can't happen until it receives a new fresh coat of paint.

It already looks like new production to me.  In the coming weeks we should see a lot more of the reconstruction process beginning to happen.

Meanwhile around the factory ...

Did You Think the Zipper Was the Only Game in Town? 

Just to set things straight, the Zipper is not the only bit of excitement flowing through the Chance Rides rides factory.  Come with me as I give you a look around the shop.  

    

 

UNICOASTER

 

CLASSIC RED C.P. HUNTINGTON TRAIN - Ready for delivery

 

CAROUSEL FIGURES - My pictures do not do justice to the wonderful detail on these figures.  The saddle on the otter is a beautiful iridescent finish.  And the hummingbird looks like something you might see in your flower bed this summer.

 

ROLLER COASTER - Even the foundation pieces look interesting.

Stay tuned as these and other Chance Rides creations find their new homes.

EXCITING THINGS ARE HAPPENING

You can't very well have a Zipper ride without a Zipper seat.  This is the new production part of the Zipper transformation and I must admit, its really exciting to see it coming together.  I'm thinking we'll be having some employee rides before too very long.  :-)

 

And let me just assure you we have some hard working and skilled employees that are making these new rides a possibility.  These images are a great example of some of the American Manufacturing that makes us so proud.

You can see that progress looks small on the Zipper frame but it is all coming along just as it should.

 



Keep checking in with me as the Zipper comes to life.
