What is involved in recrafting a ride?
In addition to these rides costing half as much as new rides, they really are not inferior. We completely overhaul them mechanically, and the beauty of a kiddie ride is that they use the same technology today that they have used since the beginning. In some rides, we actually improve on a faulty design. Where faults exist, we may re-route wiring or add some steel tubing for re-enforcement.

All the old Corvettes on the road can attest to the quality of fiberglass. And in most cases, older rides have thicker fiberglass than new rides. With that in mind,
