Wayne on the Skid 👍👍 Great vlog, Look forward to doing to Dive Bomber at Basingstoke soon. The Other Skid is amazing... One of the best rides in the UK, Think it does Goose, Hoppings and Dorset.
Another great vlog Andy good to see the dive bomber back on the road and amazing to see how well the skid is running Carter's have done an amazing job with the old Tom Smith's ride
Dive bomber what a classic , used to ride this when younger. All ride you can hear coins rattling around , all we need now is the return of the octopus 🐙
Hi Andy great vlog there and good to see the Victory Dive Bomber make a nice return they was not at the carters fair i went recently but great there back they look such an amazing ride glad to see you ride on it mate - Nice 1 👍
I did that dive bomber when the fair came to margate in around 2010. It occupied the space that dreamland later re-occupied. They had a great well of death show as well. That skid reminds me of the whiplash that they used to have at dreamland/bembon bros. Instead of a floor break there used to be a rope that you pulled to create the same effect. Unfortunately when i used to ride it they had taken the rope away so you only got to go in a circular motion
In America we had those dive bombers at our local fair but they were called the "salt and pepper shakers." I really love the artwork of this fair, so much better than poorly drawn airbrushed celebrities and gaudy neon lights.
Skipper Matt oh god yeah the badly airbrushed celebrities are hilarious lol Carters use traditional hand drawn sign writing methods and the artwork is always amazing
The Skid and Octopus are ex Tom Smith & Sons rides and swing boats belonged to Thomas Smith's great, great grandfather. These current times are not the only times they have been open in Hemel. The Skid first time Aug 1966 and Octopus 1960 from brand new.
@@Coaster_Crazy can remember one time that smiths back in the 70's came to hemel at gadebridge park and one of the skid cars came off its holdings and crashed through the fence the good times
Michael Chapman tbh I’m not 100% sure we would go to Chessington this year as we don’t have Merlin annual passes and Chessington is probably one of my least favourite parks and it’s always too busy
Reckon you'll visit the Bath one this year? It's only about a 15 minute walk from my house so itd be rude for us not to visit lol love the look of all the Carter's machines. The Skid - wow!! Makes me feel really sick but love it!
Carters have not visited where we live now for a while. I think 'Pat Holland's Fun Fair' took over. So happy to see 'Carter's' are now travelling with the classic 'dive bomber' again, as last time I looked on their website they had it for sale. Please 'Carter's' don't sell this ride. It is unique, almost legendary and this is probably one of the last remaining rides of this in the UK. Such a rarity now. This video is great but your ride on the dive bomber, you make it sound so tame. When we all know it is not lol.
@@Coaster_Crazy My response was 2 years ago. The last time I saw this ride was in 1995 near 'Wisbech Cambridgeshire', which was the last time I went on it. Even then I had not seen this ride since the 80's, so it was a really must do. I do not really go to funfairs anymore. More theme parks. This ride is always going to hold that special place in my heart.. So is it still going and who owns it now?
Dive Bomber, my favourite ride as a kid. Used to be a regular at Wibsey Fair. Not sure if it's the same one, but could you find out if they bought it from Marshalls?. If it is from them, they used to let me operate the ride. I'd have been around 12 years old at the time. I'm now 52 and would love to ride it again.
Great vlog. You are funny and real when you ride the rides. You hold nothing back when your on them and that makes the vlog so much fun. Why does Lisa hang in the background? We love her. She should do the rides as well. I seen her in a lot of your vlogs having fun and riding, but a lot of them, she hangs out in the background. Why?
carters has had the dive bombers for ages and its not the first time at hemel hempstead. saw the bombers before it was restored and was all red. Think it was repainted over winter last year
It was Matthew Corbett who done the sooty show Andy, and then his nephew took it over for a while. I'm off to Blackpool next weekend and the Saturday is open until 10pm at night
I AM SORRY I MISSED SOME OF YOUR GREAT VIDEOS, BUT MY MOM WAS DIAGNOSED WITH BRAIN CANCER, AND SHE IS MY ROCK, AND NOW AFTER HER SURGERY SHE IS GOING THROUGH RADIATION AND CHEMO...PLEASE NEVER TAKE ANYONE FOR GRANTED OR HOLD GRUDGES, BE KIND AND SPREAD LOVE!!! WE HAVE ONLY A SHORT TIME HERE...
Wayne on the Skid 👍👍

Another great vlog from you giving the viewers real onboard experience. Keep up the good work and hope to meet you again soon. All the best. Ian
Absolutely fantastic andy loved the dive bomber back in the day will have to check it out
Great blog 👌
Dive bomber used to come to clipstone fair when I was a kid great times !!!
Great vlog 😁😁
Another good video Andy
Awsome video, love the organ music.
Diesel Wolf if you love the organ wait till you watch my next vlog from Hollycombe 👍🏻👍🏻
@@Coaster_Crazy I can't wait 🙂
omg dive bomber, blast from the past. There used to be one came to Kirkcaldy's Links Market when I was younger (30+ years ago) not sure who owned it.
Brilliant vlog 🤗 looked an awesome fair

Always love when you go to a Carter's Steam Fair. The Dive Bomber is the same as the Roll-O-Plane, originally made by the Eyerly Aircraft Company.
Great vlog Andy, we're going to our first Carter's in Lichfield on Saturday
DJ SPEED Vlogs enjoy it
Wow this is cool
Crazy I saw you there
Ben Mansfield 👍🏻👍🏻
Great video thanks Andy...we're on the telly!😁
great video andy again greetings from the netherlands,....
John van de Wereld glad you enjoyed this one
@@Coaster_Crazy okay andy, i had a question you might want to see more of carters the ark next time please i am very curious about that thx
Top vlog with this amazing park. Shame they're not coming up North.. would love to go!
PT Vlogs UK they go to Lichfield and Car Fest North (Cheshire)
In America we had those dive bombers at our local fair but they were called the "salt and pepper shakers." I really love the artwork of this fair, so much better than poorly drawn airbrushed celebrities and gaudy neon lights.
Skipper Matt oh god yeah the badly airbrushed celebrities are hilarious lol

The dive bomber looks fun, but couldn't ride it it'd make me sick, just watching made me queasy lol.
At 50 obviously I'm biass but still think the atmosphere at an old fair and the whole set up is far better than fairs of today
Gary Kendall I actually agree with you, the atmosphere at Carters is always amazing
Amazing video, we are off to carters when it comes to Lichfield ! 👍🏻
Great vid as usual, shame no octopus, that's a great ride
The Skid and Octopus are ex Tom Smith & Sons rides and swing boats belonged to Thomas Smith's great, great grandfather. These current times are not the only times they have been open in Hemel. The Skid first time Aug 1966 and Octopus 1960 from brand new.
Louise Bowes great information

myfanw yeah probably try and visit most of them this year as I really can’t get enough of them ! Been to 7 Carters fairs now overall
Nice to see you visited my county of Hertfordshire 👍
Jake Brownless I love this comment lol I actually worked in Bovingdon for 8months not so long ago
My home town
Keep up with with ace videos
Rylands park used to have dive bombers loads back in the day, you may have been on one then if you were brave enough back then 🤣✌
Carters have not visited where we live now for a while. I think 'Pat Holland's Fun Fair' took over.
So happy to see 'Carter's' are now travelling with the classic 'dive bomber' again, as last time I looked on their website they had it for sale.
Please 'Carter's' don't sell this ride. It is unique, almost legendary and this is probably one of the last remaining rides of this in the UK. Such a rarity now.
This video is great but your ride on the dive bomber, you make it sound so tame. When we all know it is not lol.
Look at the date of the vlog !!!! This video was filmed in July 2019…..the Dive Bomber has been sold a while ago now

the skid was once owned by T. Smiths of Leighton buzzard back in the 70's
Ha no way I was there then, I live in Hemel. Sad I didn't see you

love carters love the dive bomber henry danter had a double dive bomber at stourport i think he sold it now
Thought they where selling the dive bomber good to see it back shame there missing the octopus thst would make it complete
Johnny Dodger yeah I’m sure they were selling the Bomber, obviously no one wanted it unless they did sell it and some else brings it to the fair
my cousin was the one that said to subscribe (:
carters has had the dive bombers for ages and its not the first time at hemel hempstead. saw the bombers before it was restored and was all red. Think it was repainted over winter last year
bill53uk I didn’t say it was the first time at Hemel but it’s the first time I’ve seen it
Great video man, will you be going to the fair at the bowl at Milton Keynes which start on the 19th till the 29th will you be going and if so when?
JJ Master it sure as MK is about an hour away from where I now live as I moved, the Bowl used to be a 10min drive away lol
@@Coaster_Crazy Thats a shame, keep it up though great content 👍
Richard Cadell owns the whirl around and The Ghost Train unfortunately the ghost train is off the road due to it being involved in a RTC
Bailey Walls Bailey Walls bike channel yeah I know, such a shame about the Ghost Train as it’s one of my favourite traveling ones
The skid was at the Hoppings this year. I went on it but it went on for about 10 minutes and me neck was starting to hurt.
Lazy Academic it’s a different Skid but yeah pretty much the same ride
I was There
It was Matthew Corbett who done the sooty show Andy, and then his nephew took it over for a while.
I'm off to Blackpool next weekend and the Saturday is open until 10pm at night
EQUIGIRL78 JILL yes thank you lol I forgot his name
@@Coaster_Crazy I'm only a few months older than you Andy, I thought you would have remembered him, i actually sadly think that he passed away
EQUIGIRL78 JILL I remember him I just couldn’t remember his name at the time of filming the vlog and nope, he’s still alive and well, he’s 71
@@Coaster_Crazy is he omg, can you imagine what he must look like now lol
You know the person on the up and down thing that was me and my dad had the black bag and he remembered seeing you
