This week, Rainbow Valley Rides of Almond, WI will be taking delivery of a new Genesis Ride from Wisdom Industries.  The piece replaces the shows ARM Ali Baba ride in an effort to keep the ride lineup fresh.  Rainbow Valley also recently gave their Eli Eagle 16 Ferris Wheel a complete overhauled in winter quarters and the ride looks brand new. 

MCW has received word that Bob Coil, formerly owner of Dartron Industries, passed away during a recent trip to Italy with his wife.  Bob was a friend to many in the carnival industry and will be missed.  A discussion is ongoing on our message board by clicking here.

Deggeller Attractions has announced the addition of two spectacular rides to their lineup: a Mouse Coaster and a Huss Flipper. Both pieces were acquired from amusement parks on the east coast. With the addition of the Huss Flipper, Deggeller Attractions will be the second traveling carnival in North America to own a ride of its type. Up until now, Reithoffer Shows operated the only traveling Huss Flipper, themed Tornado. Both pieces are at Deggeller's winter quarters in Stuart, Florida being refurbished by Scott MacNeil.
