in the mean time d . h . morgan had been requested to design and manufacture hyper coasters for cedar fair among others . of the half dozen manufactured , chance morgan only officially produced one hyper coaster , the others were all under the d . h . morgan banner .
he closed on the acquisition of d . h . morgan manufacturing inc . in la selva beach , calif . , june 14 . terms of the transaction were not disclosed .
this past weekend , we found ourselves asking that same question – “how did we get these people for our documentary ? ! ? ” – as we had the privilege to visit dana and paula morgan , formerly of d . h . morgan manufacturing .
as well as the successful train production business in the 1980’s , d . h . morgan also produced a fair number of carousel rides and antique cars rides .
, smoke magazine and amusement industry trade publications , and advertising and promotional copy for d . h . morgan manufacturing . by day , he makes a living as an art director and is working on a couple of screenplays .
in 1995 gilroy gardens asked d . h . morgan to produce a “mine train” ride for them . arrow dynamics had a wide range of these rides already and d . h . morgan manufactured quicksilver express for gilroy , which looks very similar to the arrow dynamic design . however the coaster sat for five years before it was installed .
hypercoasters were first manufactured by arrow dynamics in the late 1980s to early 1990s . since then , a number of companies , including bolliger & mabillard , intamin , d . h . morgan manufacturing , giovanola and others have designed and constructed hypercoasters .
the first d . h . morgan coaster was wild thing at valleyfair in minnesota , usa , which opened in 1996 . it’s a 207 feet ( 63m ) tall , 74 mph ( 119 km / h ) hyper coaster that open two weeks before the above mentioned family coaster .
in 1995 morgan built a mine train type ride for michael bonfante for what was then called hecker pass — a family adventure in gilroy , california . the coaster , quicksilver express , was manufactured in 1995 but sat at the morgan manufacturing facility for five years before it was finally installed in 2000 . bonfante gardens opened to the public a year later in 2001 . in 1995 , richard kinzel of cedar fair asked morgan to build a 200 - foot hypercoaster for valleyfair in minnesota . utilizing designer steve okamoto , whom he had worked with at arrow dynamics , morgan opened wild thing in 1996 . morgan went on to build seven more steel coasters , including two more for cedar fair . d . h . morgan manufacturing also redesigned the former arrow coaster steel phantom at kennywood park in pennsylvania .
the company was originally founded to produce carousel rides , but their first order was for new trains for the wooden coaster giant dipper at santa cruz beach boardwalk . this coaster train business took off and d . h . morgan soon filled their order books with train manufacturing business . eventually this side of the business was sold to ptc ( philadelphia toboggan coasters ) .
when it comes to length , steel dragon 2000 takes the cake with its 8 , 133 foot track . that ' s just over 1 . 5 miles . built in 2000 ( go figure ) by d . h . morgan manufacturing , its held its title for a whole 16 years . way longer than any other coaster on this list , except . . .
plans call for renaming the business chance morgan coasters inc . , moving the manufacturing work and some specialized equipment to chance industries , and hiring morgan ' s group of 14 roller coaster engineers , who will work from an office in la selva beach .
the company showed their versatility with phantom’s revenge at kennywood in pennsylvania , usa . the park wanted their arrow “looping hyper coaster” to be redesigned , with the inversions taken out . d . h . morgan redesigned the ride and ever since the coaster has been very well received .
in 2001 dana morgan retired and sold d . h . morgan to chance industries , inc . the newly formed “chance morgan” finished production of superman el último escape at six flags mexico . the only other coasters they have built are freedom flyer at fun spot america , steel lasso at frontier city as well as eagles life in the fast lane and shake rattle & rollercoaster at hard rock park , which are all licensed vekoma rides .

arrow dynamics was a roller coaster design and manufacturing company based in clearfield , utah , united states .
chance morgan coasters , inc . is a roller coaster and amusement ride manufacturer .
d . h . morgan’s possible crowning glory is steel dragon 2000 at nagashima spa land in japan , which broke the world record for tallest coaster when it opened . although the record for height has been broken several times since , steel dragon still holds the record for the world’s longest coaster .
chance rides was founded by harold chance in the 1960 ` s . after chance ' s return from world war ii , he worked with his brother - in - law to build steam trains . just before harold ' s retirement , his son , dick chance , purchased the company and founded chance industries , inc . in 1985 as a holding company for three subsidiaries - chance rides , chance coach and chance operations . the company bought the assets of chance manufacturing co . and expanded to 425 , 000 sq . ft . on 40 acres with approximately 400 employees . michael chance , dick ' s son , purchased the holdings of d . h . morgan manufacturing , inc . , a roller coaster design and manufacturing firm , in 2001 and developed chance morgan , inc . later that year , chance rides manufacturing , inc . was formed to produce the rides sold by chance morgan .
dick chance expects business from chance - morgan to help his company return to profitability .
serving as a subcontractor to chance morgan will help chance industries ' prospects , says dick chance .
industry analysts say the passing of business along from chance morgan to chance industries is a good move .
i think we can sell more than he was willing to build ,
he says .
we have the most complete ride manufacturing facility in the world . the acquisition of morgan was a perfect way to utilize it .
arrow development was an amusement park ride and roller coaster design and manufacturing company , incorporated in california on november 16 , 1945 , and based in mountain view .
chance industries was founded in 1961 as chance manufacturing by dick chance ' s father , harold . dick chance acquired ownership and leadership of the company in 1985 .
the steel dragon 2000 originally operated with 6 car trains built by morgan . in march 2013 , the b & m trains were introduced .
then , we went to the dining room table , where dana and paula had pulled many photo albums and articles relating to both arrow and morgan .
when morgan came up for sale in mid - april , michael chance says he saw a chance to run his own business and help the family business .
after merging with d . h . morgan manufacturing ) , began to fabricate their 24 inches ( 609 . 6 mm ) gauge c . p . huntington train locomotive in 1960 . it is a geared locomotive similar to a heisler locomotive powered by a gasoline or diesel engine . its drive wheels are not powered but roll on the rails and fake side rods reciprocate in and out of fake cylinders . this park train has been the most popular park train since the allan herschell company merged to chance industries and the s - 24
iron horse
train production ceased . many amusement parks are replacing their steam locomotives since this train is easier to maintain and operate . there are two c . p huntington replicas operating the perimeter track at the santa barbara zoo .
like so many in the amusement industry , jeff has dedicated himself to rides and parks for as long as he can remember . from elementary school to the present day , he has been focused on roller coasters , amusement rides , and all around fun ! through his years at the university of louisville studying mechanical engineering , jeff was in constant contact with industry leaders seeking guidance and advice . as a ride operator for both kentucky kingdom in louisville , ky and the santa cruz beach boardwalk in santa cruz , ca , jeff learned the basics of ride operations and closely followed the maintenance crews during their morning checks to learn more about the inner workings of the rides . it was this curiosity and perseverance that helped jeff land his first job on the design side of the industry : a drafting internship with d . h . morgan manufacturing . at morgan , jeff worked side - by - side with some of the most ambitious
chance morgan has a contract to build a 200 - foot - high
hyper - coaster
that will be similar to the mamba coaster morgan built a few years ago at worlds of fun in kansas city . a hyper - coaster is an industry term for a higher and faster - than - average roller coaster .
standing roughly 100 feet ( 30 . 5m ) tall with a top speed of 55 mph ( 88 . 5 km / h ) and lots of hills and twists , the hyper - lite offers an abundance of ejector airtime .
i ' d like to give a special thanks to the following people for allowing us to ride early : adam leishman , terry capener , and julie freed . again , i can ' t thank you enough to for letting us ride !
dana morgan retired from the amusement industry in 2001 and sold the assets of his company on june 14 , 2011 to michael chance , who was the sales representative for competitor chance industries , inc .
michael chance , who will retain his title as chance industries ' vice president of sales , won ' t say how much the deal is worth or name who chance morgan is building the coaster for .
internships in automotive foam manufacturing . working in the corporate engineering department , he provided engineering assistance to multiple r & d ; projects . also during his time at ryerson , matt was introduced to the ryerson thrill club by a friend , and , by attending astm f24 meetings and iaapa , he found an industry that is exciting , willing to try new ideas , and literally engineers fun ! he continued with the thrill club , helping to organize the first ryerson thrill competition , and later became the president of the organization .
even the trains look similar to their arrow counterparts , however morgan trains tend to offer a better ride as they do not suffer from the accordion effect that the arrows do at the top of airtime hills .
when the riverside cyclone opened it had two 3 - bench ptc trains with single position lap - bar restraints . during the first season , shoulder belts were added and then removed prior to the second season . in 1984 the trains were damaged and the two damaged trains were combined to make one . in 1985 two new trains were purchased from morgan . for the 2000 season , two new ptc trains replaced the morgan trains .
we ' ve been able to retain their engineering expertise , which is really the most difficult thing about building roller coasters ,
says michael chance , who is the majority owner of chance morgan and its president .
throughout the last decade , chance has fully consolidated the morgan manufacturing company to operate at its wichita , kan . headquarters . to this day , the company ownership remains within the chance family , with michael chance as the company ' s president and dick chance as the ceo . chance rides primarily serves amusement parks , zoos and aquariums , carnivals and land developers , but universities , tour groups and city parks also purchase their ever popular tramstars , sunliner ii ' s and c . p . huntington trains .
they may look like arrow hyper coasters , but chance morgan are now the only people to produce this style of hyper coaster . they tend to be very traditional out and back designs , between 150 and 300 feet tall .
he says morgan was limited by how many roller coasters it could build in a year . he says the maximum was two . with chance industries as a subcontractor , michael chance says he can increase production to three or four coasters a year .
while the company was originally created to build carousels ( dana could supervise both assembly and dis - assembly of arrow’s portables at age 16 ) , coaster fans are more likely to know morgan for their superior hyper coasters , wooden coaster trains and their highly successful conversion of steel phantom into the phantom’s revenge at kennywood park .
morgan enjoys a strong reputation in the amusement park industry as a maker of large , multi - million dollar steel roller coasters , michael chance says . the 17 - year - old company claims to have built the world ' s tallest roller coaster , a 318 - foot - high coaster at an amusement park in japan , he says .
the chance morgan family coaster is a steel ride for small spaces and lower thrills , the most well known example being santa monica west coaster at pacific park in california , usa , which is small enough to fit onto a pier . it is the most photographed and filmed coaster in the world and has appeared in over 500 movies and television shows , as well as dozens of commercials .

in 1985 , the texas cyclone at astroworld ( houston , tx ) got its braking system modified . it went from friction brakes to arrow dynamics pneumatic pinch brakes . the two ptc trains that ran at the time on the roller coaster had a braking fin retrofitted to one of the under carrier friction plate . in 1987 , when the ride gained its infamous “coffin cars” from dh morgan , the fins were designed and manufactured into the trains .
in celebration of the milestone 50th year in 2011 , chance reintroduced the chance rides brand in all its company marketing efforts . each year , the company produces 20 to 25 different projects ranging from small carousels to large roller coasters and wheels . hargrove says :
the product mix each year is different from the year before . this year we are manufacturing three unicoasters all for different customers , before that we had only built two of them . we are in the process of building our 387th c . p . huntington train . this is the product that started our company .

our main reason for filming at lagoon was to interview dal freeman , the park’s semi - retired head engineer , and the designer of cannibal . in addition , freeman is a former arrow engineer who worked on various rides such as magnum xl - 200 at cedar point in sandusky , oh . while we had yet to interview him , we were anxiously hoping we’d be able to check out cannibal in some fashion . it wasn’t until the afternoon of june 27 that we were given the go ahead to come to the park and take a couple test rides on the 208 foot - tall behemoth .
in the amusement industry , chance rides has rolled with the changing tides for over fifty years . urltoken spoke with lisa hargrove , marketing manager , who has been with chance rides for just over three years .
it is hard to pick a favorite thing about my job . i get a thrill just thinking about the fact that it ' s my job to promote amusement rides for a living . but i also love that i am working for a company that has been around for more than 50 years , well - established in the industry and still being run by the family of the founder . there is a fantastic story of about american manufacturing at its finest here and i get to tell it .
no other ride manufacturer in north america has the depth of product line that we have ,
says hargrove , noting the many milestones that paved the way for chance rides to
not only survive but thrive
within the amusement industry .
with dick ' s purchase of the company also came the acquisition of bradley and kaye , that not only expanded our ride offering but gave us the molds for a line of elegant carousel horses that are still manufactured today . with the addition of michael came the addition of roller coaster production which has only helped to solidify chance rides as a world class manufacturer of amusement rides . in more recent years , we ' ve also begun manufacturing giant observation wheels , giving us another niche in the market for stand - alone attractions .

possible . a native of pennsylvania , he currently resides in celebration , florida with his wife angela and their seven - year - old twin boys and five - year - old daughter , all of whom share bill ' s passion for thrills , adventure , and travel even at a young age .
hargrove ' s advice to others in the industry is to be
. . . willing to change with the tides . the amusement industry relies on disposable income and with that can be greatly affected by changes in the economy .
hargrove states that since chance rides is
designed to be diverse
they are more equipped to roll with economic changes that may affect the industry .
when business is booming we may produce a few roller coasters , when it ' s not we know we can rely on c . p . huntington trains and carousels to get us through . the motto you ' ll hear most often around here is
we build fun , but it ain ' t easy
. we know we ask a lot of the men and women that work here manufacturing quality products that are safe and reliable and to deliver them on time . we try to help everyone remember the smiles on the faces of the people who will ultimately enjoy their work while appreciating the fact that we know it wasn ' t easy .
with a diverse product line and the strong infrastructure of a family run business , who knows what chance rides will accomplish by its centennial anniversary .

while the exact procedure is a trade secret ( here’s a hint , being nice to parks helps ) it never ceases to amaze us how we’re able to track down and eventually put these people into our videos .
after a fascinating tour of his home , which included several carousel horses - and some serious horsepower in the garage – we sat down with him in the office / study to begin the interview .
hearing dana talk about his father , ed ( who was one of the original four employees of arrow ) , was incredibly fascinating . he warned us that every answer was going to be 20 minutes long – because it was so full of history that so very few know of .
that’s where we had one of those moments you can only describe as ethereal . dana said , “oh – i bet you’ll like this…” and proceeded to hand us this set of ten small , black & white photos :
the film will dive into the story of corkscrew quite deep , so we don’t want to give away too much of the story . suffice to say , it’ll be fun to learn for both seasoned coaster fans and even the “gp” viewer .
dana and paula also showed us one of their most - prized arrow possessions : a gift from wed enterprises commemorating 25 years of arrow development work in 1970 . not only does it look cool , but it is signed by such disney legends as x atencio and even roy o . disney himself .
now , the “legacy of arrow” team moves onto the second half of production … putting all of the pieces together to tell the story of how the modern - day amusement and theme park was created – all from a small car garage in mountain view , ca . stay tuned !
be sure to continue with us on the journey , as we aim to tell the story of an industry legend . follow us on facebook and twitter or search

the grizzly at california’s great america ( santa clara , ca ) used arrow dynamic pneumatic brakes and those are still in use . that ride opened in 1986 .
interestingly , at one point , an arrow brake caliper was replaced by a smaller ptc brake .
in 2000 , intamin supplied the ride hardware and trains for the magnus colossus at terra mitica ( benidorm , spain ) . designed by dennis starkey and the stand company and built by the roller coaster corporation of america , intamin installed for the first time on a wooden coaster magnetic brakes . those rare earth permanent magnets are mounted in a regular caliper configuration and work on the eddy - current principle . the main idea is that the braking power is proportional to the speed of the train . this provides a smooth braking motion , but they are unable to completely stop and hold the train . intamin solution to that was to use large heavy duty drive tires to stop the trains in the pre course braking area and station area in a similar set up to their steel mega coaster and giga coaster installations .
2000 saw a new player enter the wooden coaster business : vekoma . that year , as a part of a major project to transform walibi flevo ( flevoland , netherlands ) into six flags holland , vekoma sold 5 new attractions to six flags for that park , including a wooden coaster . robin hood at that park used standard vekoma pneumatic pinch brakes to slow and stop the trains . it was so successful that was six flags ordered another wooden coaster in 2001 for the walibi wavre ( wavre , belgium ) transformation into six flags belgium and tusenfryd near oslo , norway also ordered a wooden coaster .
2002 saw premier rides third foray into the wooden coaster area and it was at kings island ( mason , oh ) . the beast was involved in an incident the year before and the park decided to change the whole braking process . the 3 existing ptc trains were modified by premier to receive brake fins and many parts of the ride rebuilt to remove the skid brakes and install new brake calipers . the innovation here was that premier was the first to come up with the right metal alloy for the fins that would be react well enough to eddy current brakes and yet be durable enough for standard pneumatic mechanical braking . so , the beast feature premier fin brakes in the station , before the transfer section and 2 pre station braking zones . the rest of the ride as well as the speed reduction zone at the end feature strips of eddy current brakes that can easily be removed in the fall season when temperature falls and the ride need more speed to complete the course .
this strip of magnetic brakes is installed in the pre station brake run of the beast .
premier rides also offer those adjustable / mobile brakes . both of the above photos were found at urltoken
in 2003 , great coasters international inc . ( gcii ) came up with their own version of the fin brakes . in that case , the calipers are of a different shape and use smaller pads inside . later on , in 2007 , they also started using eddy - current magnetic brakes to trim most of the speed to reduce wear and tear on the brake fins and calipers .
one of the gci brake on gold striker at california’s great america ( santa clara , ca ) .
the python in bamboo forest at wanda theme park in nanchang , china use both eddy - current magnetic brakes and gci pneumatic brakes . the magnetic brake is on the left and the pneumatic brake on the right .
in may 2004 , there was a fire at the pleasure beach in blackpool , uk and it destroyed the station of the grand national , a 1935 classic wooden roller coaster . pleasure beach called in kumbak , a dutch engineering firm . they installed a brand new modern ride control system and installed a mixed fin based pneumatic calipers / eddy current braking system on the reformed grand national . the fins on the new ptc trains were also changed by kumbak to work with their equipment . the project was completed quickly and the ride reopened in october of the same year .
kumbak was formed in 2001 after vekoma underwent financial hardships that year . some engineers branched off and formed an engineering firm that specializes in ride upgrades and refurbishment . in 2007 , port aventura called in kumbak to do an upgrade to the ride control system , braking system and change the trains on stampida . stampida is a 1997 custom coasters international ( cci ) racing / dueling wooden roller coaster that was experiencing some heavy wear and tear issues on the trains . kumbak came in in 2007 , designed and built four new trains and installed at the same time new brakes . it is the same combination of the pneumatic calipers / eddy current brakes that were installed 3 years earlier on grand national . tomahawk , the sister junior ride to the stampida also had the same control and braking upgrades .
kumbak worked on another project in 2010 . bakken ( klampenborg , danemark ) decided to upgrade its classic scenic railway , the rutschebanen . it opened in 1932 and still had the original trains with the brakeman riding on board . kumbak came in and combined a rockwell automation allen - bradley guardlogix safety controller with pneumatic friction brakes and magnetic brakes . three new trains were built and thanks to the new braking and control system , no brakeman is necessary and the ride now is tuv approved .
the green plate in front of the train is one of the magnetic brake used on the ride .
velocity magnetics came onto the scene in the early 2000’s . they are today a large supplier of magnetic brakes to many manufacturers , such as rocky mountain construction . rmc use dyna - brake magnetic brakes on their installations , such as outlaw run at silver dollar city ( branson , mo ) . the other brakes used on outlaw run are similar in shape and function to the arrow pneumatic squeeze brakes .
one major innovation for velocity magnetics is magnetic friction brakes , first introduced in 2012 on the comet at waldameer park ( erie , pa ) . for this project , the park removed approximately 175 feet of track from the station and brake run . velocity magnetics then manufactured pre molded steel track that was bolted to the existing structure . the wooden running boards were bolted to the top of the running steel . meanwhile , one car of the two ptc junior trains was sent to velocity for modifications . the pads under the car were replaced by a new alloy that is both resistant and compatible with the rare earth magnets that will slow down the train in the 3 fixed magnetic brake sections . then , 5 pneumatic friction brake sections will slow down the train and hold it . the load and unload has two more sections that are independently controlled .

to design and construct magnum xl - 200 . construction on the world ' s tallest and fastest complete circuit roller coaster ( at that time ) began in 1988 . by may 6 , 1989 , magnum xl - 200 was ready for riders . since its debut , magnum xl - 200 has served more than 36 million guests .
cedar point ' s official blog states that after building the ride ,
discussion was focused on just what a roller coaster such as magnum should be called . after all , it had no loops like most of the other large steel coasters of the time and was so much bigger and faster than its non - looping brethren . after a couple of years , the name everyone agreed upon was hypercoaster .
hypercoasters were originally built for speed and airtime , to counter the trend of constructing bigger and bigger looping coasters . to accomplish this the elements of a hypercoaster often include a large first drop , several additional drops of declining height , a large turn or helix and then many airtime - inducing hills . hypercoasters are commonly designed with an out and back layout , although some hypercoasters , such as raging bull at six flags great america , are built with a twisted design .

pink visual , valley porn studio , to construct ' coolest underground bunker known to man ' for 2012 apocalypse | l . a . weekly
taking up the challenge is adult powerhouse pink visual , a veteran company that is long - accustomed to being at the forefront of industry innovations .
this was an important consideration for pink visual , which reportedly came up with the idea for pvlocker during brainstorming sessions for its ongoing antipiracy campaign .
following the close of an eventful 2010 for the company , adult entertainment studio pink visual has decided to make its anti - piracy strategy for 2011 public , a move undertaken in part to encourage other adult studios to take steps of their own to deter online piracy , according to pink visual executives .

the studio is currently working out details on the selection criteria for all non - pink visual personnel who they will allow to take refuge in the bunker , but boyer said it will “likely include both merit - based and random selections , with pink visual performers , active site members and twitter followers getting priority over the general public . ”

. drawing on research and paradigms from anthropology , sociology , cultural studies , photographic studies and media studies , sarah pink describes how the visual may be incorporated into ethnographic work . pink intends to situate this book outside of the history of the extant literature on visual research methods . she suggests that this book is not a recipe for visual methods but , in a more inductive manner , offers visual methods in the context of current research . readers are encouraged to analyze the use of visual methods
creatively developed within individual projects
( p . 4 ) . the book is intended for ethnographers wanting to incorporate the visual into their work as well as for photographers and video makers seeking an understanding of ethnography . it is this duality of purpose that is the book ' s strength and its weakness , which i discuss in the final comment section of the review .

chapter two addresses the appropriateness of visual methods in research as well as issues related to ethics . pulling primarily from her own research in other cultures , pink reminds the reader that visual technologies may be interpreted very differently by those involved in the research . context is the primary determinate for the appropriateness and role of visual technologies . this chapter contains many important caveats for ethnographers incorporating visual methods such as ethical considerations , gender issues , and project design . specific use of photography and video may have to emerge in the field based on the relationships secured and not predetermined before .

my focus here is on the role of visual ethnography in the process of exploring other people ' s ( diverse ) representations of their experiences of the same urban context . i am concerned with what the visual ethnographer might learn from an analysis of how people create , use , narrate and visualise routes of movement around urban contexts in order to represent ways of experiencing a town . there are multiple ways of moving around urban contexts , using different technologies both for mobility and for its ( audio ) visualisation . this implies two main research tasks : the first is to examine local productions of routes and visual cultures by focusing on local mobility and media practices . the second involves using ( audio ) visual media to collaboratively produce contexts of
knowing
( wenger , 1998 ) and ethnographic knowledge ( including the production of images / audiovisual texts ) with local people . here i address both these elements of the visual ethnography process to explore how urban
places
might be made through , on the one hand , local visual practices , and on the other , the ethnographer ' s visual practices . of course these experiences and practices are not simply visual , rather the visuality of them is embedded in multisensorial experiences and contexts and is inextricably tied to the use of verbal , tactile and other forms of communication .

. some visual ethnography research contexts do not offer the luxury of
waiting to see what happens

i soundly recommend this book . sarah pink has made a solid contribution to qualitative research in an era of increasing interest and ubiquity of images both traditional and digital . graduate students will find this textbook helpful in the general philosophies of the qualitative tradition and specifically in the nascent understandings and implementation of visual methods . practicing researchers will also find guidance in how to incorporate the visual into an existing qualitative repertoire . while i appreciate her intent on writing for an audience of
ethnographers wanting to incorporate the visual into their work as well as for photographers and video makers seeking an understanding of ethnography
( p . 1 ) , i am not sure of the feasibility of this attempt . by writing for both audiences , i wonder if qualitative researchers will become mired down in the conceptual explanations of paradigmatic issues surrounding this type of social science research as they seek the specifics of visual methods .
