    It all came full circle today as whilst I couldn't film this ride being built up at Alton Towers (or record a POV) I was able to do so as the ride formerly known as Funk N Fly comes to Stoke on Trent this winter!

    Thank you Shawn for showcasing my beloved Funfairs to a wider audience especially the theme park ones who really haven't a clue what goes into making these machines work safely all over the country. 😊

    Love the Super Trooper rides! They really shine at fairs, attracting a lot of guests. I'd prefer riding a Super trooper over a paratrooper 👌

      Same, they have a better visual appeal, better cycle (more intense) and just look the part off-ride

    It’s just nuts how that all folds out of one fairly normal road going truck and trailer! You forget it’s also got to carry a massive generator to power it too!
    Love the mutual respect vloggers have for the showmen and the showmen and gaff lads have for vloggers! Nice that you stuck around them all day and how cool was that to let you have a ride at the end!
    Oh and Sean, you can never have enough 🔈🔈🔈speakers 🔈🔈🔈🤣😂
    Really enjoyed these build ups Sean, and whilst it might be the last it’s definitely not Goodbye, Just Bonjour 🤣

      It's like a little family, we went on dinner breaks together, had a laugh, every team has been nothing but friendly. It's been fun documenting it and the free brews is just a perk of the job aha

      @ some of the most down to earth and insanely hardworking folk you’d ever meet! Without folk like you taking the time to capture content like this, unless you seen it with your own eyes, no one would ever realise just how hard the showmen and gaff lads work, in all weather just to bring all the fun of the fair to town!
      Cherish them memories of the break time and laughs with them, they welcomed you into there world, that’s special mate!

      @ It is, I definitely felt that regardless of what they said about the white high vis wearing wanker when he left the site 😂😂 but this series started last year to do exactly that, to showcase the hard work that goes into the set up that goes VERY underappreciated
