These were my favorite rides as a kid. I despised the Eyearly incarnations of this but loved the others. Believe it or not, i like the ones that have the non spinning gondolas. I just subscribed BTW! I wish you the best on your channel. Keep up the good work!
Conklin Shows in the late 80's had a S&M Polyp themed as the Octopus. It featured an octopus on the hub that had moving arms. That later got sent to PNE Playland in Vancouver.
Fabbri only sells the zamperla/emiliana lunapark polyps :) Same as the sombrero rides by the way. There is also one in Switserland. Most of them are park models. The one in the Netherlands is a former park model too. The Soriani/Zamperla story is a bit odd. Zamperla and Soriani(&Moser, which later became Moser rides) where 2 separate company's. But i have seen some footage at the Zamperla factory where the original Soriani Sign was still hanging on the side of the building. I don't know exactly if the company was bought or only the factory itself. But Zamperla (and Moser also) still produces some models from Soriani & Moser. Polypweb (one of your sources) is part of my website. I have written those articles about polyp/schwarzkopf myself.
Bedankt voor de info! Het zit inderdaad heel ingewikkeld in elkaar met Soriani & Moser en Zamperla. Het Polypweb is altijd een hele goede bron voor deze video's, ik zal zeker eens een kijkje nemen op uw website!
The first Bakker prototype polyp is the one a 1 minute 20 seconds call « la pieuvre » open in France and traveling between the north and the center of the country and still traveling today (june 2nd 2024)
2 things I worked on the monster ride for Strates shows in 88. the accident happened 2 months after i left the carnival. I built it and enjoyed working on it, my time was in Orlando at the fair. If I had stayed I do not know how I would have felt but it was a monster not an octopus ride. Also operated a spider ride at Clementon Park in NJ for a season. Last comment on the monster ride we told the girls the more you show the longer you go times change lol
long time ago in the 80's had all the ride catalogs. Schwarzkopf, intamin, Huss, Zamperla, wisdom, Eyeley aircraft, togo, chance, sellner, eli bridge got letters from many President of huss refused to give more info until I proved my Park, Intamin also. even had Bobs space racers games Waymatic trailers and gold medal concessions sadly all gone now just memories btw my park Centuryland where the areas were the 20s 50s 60s 80s rides and buildings were modeled for that time period... tag line Centuryland Amusement Park A century full of fun in one day
You should talk about Scramblers and Calypso's next. My home park Six Flags Darien Lake had a Mack Calypso and I miss it very much, but they have a scrambler though.
-1:40 is not a bakker -You forgot to mention that the original spider(Beach polyp) has a different working exentric. There are 2 of those Fabrik polyps in the Netherlands, one on the fair and one at a resort(Preston palace)
@@SchwarzkopfFanboy there is no bakker involved with that typ of polyp. Well don't know the precise difference(anymore) but when you look at the beach polyp you can see that the top ring is thicker than all other spiders.
The one in 1.40 is a Robles Bouso one. The design of Robles was based on the Design of Bakker The first Spider has indeed a different working excentric from the later models. The only huge difference is that the cilinder is pulling the top ring down instead of pushing it up like the later models. And it is therefore a bit differently constructed. Preston Palace = Zamperla Copacabana (Fair) = Emiliana Lunapark (and originally a Park model, modified by the current owner) Zamperla & Emiliana Lunapark have a collaboration. It's basically the same ride made by 1 of the 2 company's, but the one who deliverers it, put's it name on it (to say it in an easy way)
@@MillenniumForceMan Neighbors do like to copy each other. In Italy many manufactures where located in the same neighborhood of each other. Robles Bouso also made the same coasters from the SDC design. But almost non of them are recognized as Robles. They almost always say it is build by SDC.
There is a Klaus Polyp with stationary cars known as the 'Sea Warrior' operating at Lake Winnepesaukah in Rossville, GA.
Yes indeed, that's one of the not much still operating Klaus Polyps.
I would love to go on one after not being on one for about 40 yrs. This may be the closest one to me in Philadelphia PA.
It is as far as we know one of only 2 still operating Klaus Polyps
All of them had fixed gondolas.

Thanks!
Came here from GP to enthusiast
As did I.
1:20 the covers for those cars look so awkward, but they also make the ride look even more mesmerizing that before!
It reminds me of the vehicles in the cartoon, “the Snorks,” for some reason. Really cool look!

Je bent de turbopolyp van Hans van Tol vergeten. ;) noemen waard :) toffe videos kerel :)

Huss made two 6 arm polyps with 5 gondolas on each arm
No, Huss did not make those. CAH made them, and the Huss Trading Corporation sold them.
Maybe work with your audio quality as it can be better but content wise it's great
My microphone is not the best, I'm looking for a new one that's better.

the girl was 17 yrs old
and the headache bars that connected the center to the arms was well a headache to install lol

i wonder if they called one the squid
Awesome

Disney should have one and call it Ursela's Revenge.

There are 2 of those Fabrik polyps in the Netherlands, one on the fair and one at a resort(Preston palace)
The one at 1:40 is one made by Bakker/Robles Bouso, and I don't know about the different working eccentric? I'd like to learn more about it!
@@SchwarzkopfFanboy there is no bakker involved with that typ of polyp.
Well don't know the precise difference(anymore) but when you look at the beach polyp you can see that the top ring is thicker than all other spiders.
Some of these rides did not use an eccentric mechanism, they used hydraulic pistons to mimic the eccentric.
The one in 1.40 is a Robles Bouso one. The design of Robles was based on the Design of Bakker
The first Spider has indeed a different working excentric from the later models. The only huge difference is that the cilinder is pulling the top ring down instead of pushing it up like the later models. And it is therefore a bit differently constructed.
Preston Palace = Zamperla
Copacabana (Fair) = Emiliana Lunapark (and originally a Park model, modified by the current owner)
Zamperla & Emiliana Lunapark have a collaboration. It's basically the same ride made by 1 of the 2 company's, but the one who deliverers it, put's it name on it (to say it in an easy way)
Gerstlauer makes them as well. PortAventura has got one with different gondolas
Sbf visa also made polyps too
SDC made galaxi’s, Pinfari was the company that made zyklons
That's correct. But yeah, they're basically the same layout so you know what I'm talking about.
@@SchwarzkopfFanboy yeah basically same concept
@@MillenniumForceMan Neighbors do like to copy each other. In Italy many manufactures where located in the same neighborhood of each other.
Robles Bouso also made the same coasters from the SDC design. But almost non of them are recognized as Robles. They almost always say it is build by SDC.
@@Pobreshcom thats just an italy thing, im not a fan of how the manufacturers are in that country
The last one is in planet coaster. But of course, none of their rides are based on or created to look like any real ride or attraction..lol
