Interesting article Zamperla, shows that poor regulation leads to operators thinking they can do what they want. Makes people appreciate Australia's regulations in regards to equipment safety and maintenance which has resulted in our industry with less accidents in comparison to other countries.

I also hope you have taken into account several other factors such as Public Liability - which needs to be secured BEFORE you operate the ride, a prime mover to move the ride, replacement parts, a knowledge of electronic and mechanics, a secured loan - a single investment property will not be enough...

Rides like the mega drop do draw crowds and is a highlite of the show. $10 a ride - yes it is expensive and y...
