I have been wonderin' what happened to that thing!!! It is absolutely my favorite ride!!! I rode it at the Jefferson County Fair in Jefferson City, TN back in the late 80's/early 90's. It was there at least 3 to 4 years in a row, best I remember. I've always kept hoping I would see it again! I would drive for miles to ride it again!!
I always felt safe even with the simple lap chain. I loved the free range of motion you had. I would bend, twist, lean over as far as I could to grab a hand, finger, arm, leg, shoe, or swing just to get back in tandem to "kick it" again!!!! What I'd give to ride it again!!! Many, many thanks to Beemer Boy, RedB, and everyone else for this thread and locating THE RIDE...KIck Boodie!!!
