Peter Stolarczyk of POI Rides introduced his new Cruiser Ride at the IAAPA exhibition. The new children's amusement equipment adopts classic cars and new safety updates to reproduce and modernize the classic amusement equipment in a nostalgic way. Stolarczyk's brother owns a manufacturing company in Poland and is a long-term equipment supplier that orders and sells coin-operated sandbags for midway, FEC and parks. When talking with Larry Moyer at the Showmen's League meeting, he proposed the concept of reintroducing classic children's amusement equipment with modern updates. After talking to his brother and developing a design, the amusement facility went into production. The amusement facility adopts the design of mini-Himalayas, but it has been improved to make the ride smoother by using laser cutting track and providing more internal space, so that parents can enjoy the ride with their children. The updated new amusement facility has 8 vehicles and can seat 16 people. Each vehicle has two seat belts and a safety barrier. The lights on the wheels and around the car provide a gorgeous appearance. At present, it is more difficult to ride forklifts, but the trailer installation design is in progress. The frequency converter provides smooth start and stop. The rides can be moved back and forth, and each seat has a horn and a steering wheel. An exciting new update is the placement of sensors in the seats so that the number of riders can be tracked. The system can even be connected to the Internet so that the rider's data can be accessed remotely. Deggeller Attractions purchased the first ride, which is said to be running well halfway through. Before the pandemic, the company also sold 6 other models, but the shutdown resulted in the cancellation of the contract. Once the classic car cruiser is in full production, POI plans to switch to other affordable children's playground designs, such as jet airplanes.  

Derrick Long of D&K Amusements made a major career change in 2015. After running a family carnival for 30 years and traveling in Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia and Pennsylvania, he decided to quit. At the IISA trade show in Gibsonton in February next year, he heard that Tom and Jenny McDonald were selling their large bamboo playhouse, and the Dragon and Wisconsin State Fair, the Minnesota State Fair and the Texas route reached Buy attractive deals fair. Two years later, he reached an agreement with Nick Pelino, another independent operator, to purchase another ride-KMG Fun Factory. These two attractions operate at three state fairs every year. D&K goes from 30 employees, dozens of events and relocations to 6 employees and 3 events each year; Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Texas. When asked how he likes this transition, Long said he "likes it." Although he was approved to work in H2B labor from South Africa before the Covid pandemic, Long was unable to recruit workers due to the suspension of work. With only three races, Long now has time to undertake other projects, and he has been receiving renovations from other cycling operators recently. He now has a renovation project in his store, and he plans to take on more projects as his schedule allows.
