Waddington's Waltzer built in 8 minutes!

[MegaStreetrunner]

wot is da name of da 1st song plz

[maestro66uk]

@MegaStreetrunner the song in question is "I like girls" by "hound dogs"

[Mancunian6]

Fascinating stuff and lovely to look back. I remember when I was about 9 until about 13 years old, every summer I'd go to our local rec ground to watch the Bottons Funfair arrive and build up and my favourite was always the waltzer. I always wanted a job and when I was 13, my mum finally agreed - although it was only one of the outside tent games - prize straws and roll a ball down into the right chute. Sadly it was only 4 or 5 days working evenings after school but I loved it. :)

[muckybobbies]

Majorca Blimey, that's a bit of a long haul? I have so many stories about the business, quite a few that would raise a laugh, even amongst the flatties! The wife keeps nagging me to get them written up in some sort of order, but you know how it is, one day I'll get round to it. Good to touch base though, and great to share a few misty eyed moments. 'Mind yer head' yes, that was a common one. We had a Brummy lad working with us called John, and his favorite was 'Motivate!' to try get us moving.

[maestro66uk]

@muckybobbies Hi mate. Check out my website frontierland-remembered.co.uk and if you want to send me some of your stories, I'll gladly add them onto that site for you. Mark.

[muckybobbies]

I have built up a few waltzers in my time on the grounds for a number of different showmen. It's a good eight to ten hours work, even with a good team. Neat video though, brings it all back to an ageing gaff lad who can no longer do the work due to an injury, not sustained on the fairground. Makes me want to get my gloves on and set to it again, miss the teamwork and the banter!

[maestro66uk]

@muckybobbies You and me both mate! I now live in Majorca and I so desperately want to get my overalls on and get back into building and pulling down. Pulling down is better, we could have the machine down and loaded, hitched up and ready to hit the road in 3 hours! And like you said, the banter...lol. Remember it well..."MIND YER F***ING HEAD!!!" lol

[djalex30913]

right, im not being funny but we own waltzers and it takes us at least and hour and a half, so your lying out your fucking arses !

[maestro66uk]

@djalex30913 Wake up and smell the coffee IDIOT!!!! Is it not obvious to you that the video has been edited AND speeded up! Dughh!!! You no brainer!

[mcwhizzkid123]

I tell you what i've worked on the waltzerz in bromsgrove and its fucking hard work , to set-up and pull down , and its takes a good day to do it properly !

[joshw1996]

Minecraftminer1000 it isnt that annoying when you do it for years and i can tell you now showman dont get good money nowadays im a showman and i know .. Eveyone is struggling in this buisness!!

[MinecraftMiner1000]

if you look at the ride from the outside when its moveing its kinda slow when your inside the ride its fast as they spin it looks fast tho!

[MinecraftMiner1000]

ITS ALLRIGHT if it just auto builds its self! but doing that must be anoying its good money they get tho!

[mna352]

that would take much more than 8 mins the video its self is longer than 8 mins and its SPED UP!!

[maestro66uk]

@mna352 Oh god, look, another brainy person.....NOT!!! DUGHHH!!!

[MinecraftMiner1000]

@mna352 ITS SPEED NOT SPED

[adamball2005]

Amazing to see how it's all done! ALOT of grafting there... respect to the fair people!!

[tristar7800]

what's the song the 1st and the one when its going round thanks

[TheToddy30]

Great video! Always wondered how they were built up. It's certainly a skill.

[MegaStreetrunner]

does any1 no da name of da first song?

[shaneduboiscomputers]

thats a tcheaper version of a thunder bolt

[bladesbeattie]

Amazing how fast the gypo's work

[maestro66uk]

@bladesbeattie Go and get an education you dummy. These people ARE NOT gypsies, they're travelling SHOWMEN. Learn the FACTS before you post stupid comments pal!

[bladesbeattie]

@maestro66uk The definition of gypsy is a traveler. What are showmen? Travelers.

Gypsy.....

[maestro66uk]

@bladesbeattie Tosser!

[bladesbeattie]

@maestro66uk Would also like to comment how you claim this is a waltzer built in 8 Mins when its not

So you should learn the facts before you false video's your the retard and are undoubtedly a gypsy who's probably stealing benefits

[maestro66uk]

@bladesbeattie Oh dear, what do we have here then? Yet another complete IDIOT that doesn't realise that this EIGHT MINUTE video is showing a waltzer being built from start to finish. God you really are thick aren't you pal!

[bladesbeattie]

@maestro66uk You start out as though you claim these gypo's build a waltzer in 8 mins, actually it takes 5-6 hours. You've made a false claim in which was an attempt to get views. Now get back to your caravan/

[maestro66uk]

@bladesbeattie Now listen here D I C K H E A D, why don't you go and visit a fairground, walk up to one of the showmen and call him a gypo to his face. You may be lucky enough to wake up in intensive care! And if you have anything to say to me D I C K H E A D, then may I suggest you say it to MY FACE and not hide away behind your plastic computer. You total PRICK!

[TheToddy30]

@bladesbeattie Wow your a real fucking arsehole ain't you? Seen you trolling on videos all over.

[fizzywizzy122]

@DJZeeT Maybe 70 thousand. pounds

[ryeypoopoo]

Nice video!

[maestro66uk]

@ronheads So you'll know therefore that it takes LONGER than 30 minutes to build a waltzer!

[warriorkitty24]

@maestro66uk it takes near enough a day

[maestro66uk]

@ronheads 30 minutes? 30 MINUTES!!!!! who are you kidding!! You obviously have no idea of how long it actually takes to build a funfair ride!!

[MrLeveLHeaded]

@maestro66uk - Hi mate,was just wondering if you need any qualifications to erect these rides?

[georgecobley]

@maestro66uk um yea it doesnt take 8 mins to build it u normally do it 1-2 hours i see them doing at (: so ats true trickester u!

[HARPOOVELANE]

THATS A NICE MACHINE IT IS A MAXWELL 1O CAR WALTZER BUT IT TOOK THEM MORE THAN 8 MINUTES TO BUILD THAT UP BELIEVE ME I WORKED ON A WALTZER FOR 5 YEAR AND ITS A HARD MACHINE TO BUILD UP ..

[awaltersgc]

mint!!!

[MrJORDANAKAJJ]

is this ride good because i never been on it

[DGH100]

Great high-quality video showing the work involved in building a machine such as the Waltzer here. It's a shame that some folk are unable to enjoy this video in the spirit in which it was intended without trying to be clever at maestro66uk's expense.

[Mocto1]

AWESOME!!!



[harelyjake]

[Taojac]

WHAT IS THIS SONG I LOVE IT

[Taojac]

@ muckybobbies i take it you work on wynns nightfever then i work at portland fair and it always seems to be raining when we are pulling down.

[muckybobbies]

Having built up more waltzers than I care to remember as a casual gaff lad, I know the graft involved. If only they did build up in eight minutes! How about a pulling down one? Not much fun in the rain at Portland in November I can tell you! Great video

[wdsr5]

Do you have any other rides that show how they build them??

[herefordmsv]

This was my favourite ride when I was young...watching this reminds me of good memories )

[wdsr5]

How much hours did it take to set up the whole ride??

[funfairjonny]

most take 2 or 3 hours, with 5 men, but the more people the less time

[Taojac]

i would love to own a waltzer i would have it set up on weymouth beach over the summer only tho cuz i dont think i could cope with taking it up and down every few days

[cubwolf]

Great Video. Thanks for sharing that

To be honest - I haven't a clue what it's called! It was a "mix" which I used for this video project. I can only assume it's called "Plain and Simple"??

[trancemaniac2k6]

Hiya guys, the track is called "I Like Girls" by Hound Dogs. Was a big house track back in 2003.

[djigmeister]

i da few years i worked on da fair, never saw any injries. i saw mre on u joskins den a gaff lot. but i must admit da onli injuries i got was a couple of bruises! I mainly had t keep my hair from getting in the way!

[dannyradcliffe06uk]

can never understand why people dont where toecaps though

[maestro66uk]

Oh God! Don't tell me....you're a health and safety freak! During the many times I've pulled fairground machines down - I've NEVER seen any feet injuries, and any injuries I have seen have all been very minor....like cuts and splinters! I rest my case!

[waltzer0on0tour]

i always hit my back on the girders when im under :(, but thats cause im clumsy :P. ive seen a few bad injuries and one death so it does happen

[AbysmalBoy]

The blonde lad at 3:33 is fit as fuck, I remember swooning over him in May. :)

[maestro66uk]

Ah yes, that's good old Ashley!

[AbysmalBoy]
