What up?
My name is [Kevin] Perjurer and welcome to another edition in Defunctland, for background slash
context on the series please visit the perj.com with the link below. We will be attempting to resurrect again not necessarily
Specific attraction, but more of a type of attraction that [type] [bean] [pretzel] dark rides this was suggested by [Mr.]
Six 507 so thank you
And everyone else who has been commenting the pretzel amusement ride company was founded by Marvin rem Firmly on Cassadee Cassadee?
Was a young [musician] and entrepreneur he strayed away from music when he and rem acquired the tumbling damn amusement park
Now amusement parks back
Then were obviously a lot different than they are today
When cassidy and run for added a merry-go-round and [a] waterslide to the park that was considered a modernization the park wasn't incredibly?
Successful and cassidy felt that it needed an old mill
Which is basically a dark ride of boats if you're not familiar with the dark ride it is essentially a ride that showcases
Specially lit scenes as visitors ride through them the attraction would have been too expensive so they looked for other options
[rem] fur and Cassidy began working with an old bumper car and eventually worked out a
Waterless version of the Mill Ride which they patented and premiered in
1928 thus the two have been credited for inventing the modern
Dark Ride the first unnamed Pretzel ride was built at tumbling Dam park the Duo claimed
They would give a five dollar gold piece to the person that submitted the best name [for] the attraction which adjusted for inflation is
Pretty good actually the name chosen was the firefly because the rail to move the cart sparked a lot
They didn't keep the name though because they didn't like the [idea] of people being reminded that Sparks were flying on a wooden coaster
Later after riding the attraction one Patron claimed the quote it felt like I was turned and twisted like a pretzel a year later
The two were constructing pretzel dark rides selling them for about twelve hundred dollars each
Which even today's and crazy expensive for an amusement park Ride?
three years after the first pretzel ride open run [four] sold a stake in the company to
Cassidy the company survived the depression and the metal shortage [of] World War two after the war
Cassidy handed the reins of the company to his son who would sell the company in
1979 in Total Pretzel built over Fourteen Hundred pretzel rides
pretzel built these rides for both permanent and [traveling] amusement parks
Portable rides wait about nine tons and were transported in moving trucks from Carnival carnival a lot of pretzel rides have a large metal pretzel
Attached to the front of each cart which wasn't just for decoration
It was also to ensure [that] the ride didn't flip backwards while patrons were in it which apparently was pretty easy to do also
If the ride ever broke down employees could simply push guests through the ride
The rides usually had a theme most of the spooky Bride each ride had five cars
350 feet of track and only featured about one to two minutes [of] riot time
So they were very short
The longest pretzel ride ever created was said to be around [ten] minutes total
The most unique thing about these rides with a single rail design which allowed for Sharp Jerky turns
From 1928 to the late 1950s all pretzel rides were only one story, but they eventually started developing two story rides
Cassidy didn't like this idea
But his son did so pets will continue to make them regardless some of the double-decker rides were even transported around
These took at least five hours to set up at a carnival
One of the most famous parental rides was the haunted pretzel at Bushkill park in Easton, Pennsylvania
[this] was built in 1927 which is odd considering they didn't patent it for another year
[or] maybe I'm just reading Wikipedia wrong
It was one of the oldest dark rides still operated in the united States until it was closed after flood damage in
2004 there are a few rides still in operation
including Devil's Den and a haunted pretzel in Camden Park in Huntington, West Virginia
So that is the history of pretzel dog rides [if] you want to learn even more about these rides
There's a link in the description below that describes it in more detail than I ever thought imaginable
[I] also borrow some pictures from their sites so check it out
I know that the last few episodes of the funk line had been quite short. This is not a regular thing
They will get longer again soon. I promise [to] learn which pretzel ride will be placed [into] funk land
How I'm going to get it back and where it will be placed in the park please visit the purge calm with the link below
