if anyone knows this question pls tell me, when i was little i remember this ride that was eaither yellow or orange i cant remember but it was at kennywood but i only rode it once for some reason i think it was like a spider or something?
I just went on one last night in Eagle Colorado at a small carnival. The seat backs were held in place with bungie cords. The welds in the cage looked like chicken sh*t and the plywood floors were all rotted out. They couldn't use one of the cages because it was broken. The best part was the the operators name "Lizard". Yes, he looked like white trash! And the ride was fun as hell!
We had one at Chain of rocks park in St. Louis. It was the best ever! Especially if you get a well seasoned operator who really knows how to run it! My very favorite ride!!!!
Anything ending in "O-Plane" proves, first, that it doesn't have to be thirty stories tall and over a mile long to be a lot of fun, and secondly, that the Irish really know amusement rides. Thank you to the O'Plane family for building some of the best portable and stationary amusements!!
anyways, I remember this ride as a kid. I always wanted to ride it, but then I suddenly noticed they disappeared. But hey, we have the Areo 360 Now, which is wayy better than this ride. :)
OMGosh!! I'm in Sacto too!! Last time I was there they were taking it down (jan 08), I've seen it every trip I made up there since 2006 (1st trip to Tahoe was late 2006)
I love this ride so much. I know of two places where you can currently ride it. Little Amerricka Amusement Park in Marshall, WI. And Knoebels Amusement Park in Elysburg, PA. If you guys know of any others, please post.
Conneaut Lake Park is reopening for the 2009 season, but the Blue Streak won't reopen till next year as it's going to require lots of money to pass the safety inspections.
For the record...I operated one of these at Lagoon Amusement Park in Farmington Utah. They removed it a few years ago (conflicting stories as to why). There are very few Roll-O's left and you are correct! Kennywood has removed it also. I still think it was my favorite ride to operate for quite a few reasons (and NO it wasn't for the pocket change that always seems to accumulate!) LOL
In reality, it had a horrible capacity (8 people per cycle!) and it wasn't generating enough riders. I wasn't a fan of it, but it was always nice to see in Lost Kennywood. Nobody has fallen off of a Roll-O-Plane at Kennywood.
I love this ride and used to operate one all the time at Oaks Amusement Park in Portland, OR. They stupidly got rid of their model a few years ago. It's sad to see some of these older rides fading away.
Too bad the video didn't show the entire lift sequence in action! ;^)
I dnt even remember this ride at kennywood

Now THAT'S a RIDE.

Conneaut has one, but their closed by bankruptcy and a "mysterious" fire in the winter where all the ride motors were kept. Hope they reopen soon

It had to be that hissing/buzzing noise it made. I'll never forget it!

I had a relative who operated the round up at Conneaut Park in PA. As it spun he would run on it before the hydraulics went off then jump off.

Kennywood still has there's in storage, as they do many of their older rides, I believe.
