Flying Bobs - Beech Bend Park & Splash Lagoon

The popular swinging musical roundabout. Beech Bend Park used to originally have a Mack Matterhorn from the 1970's before it was sold off when the park closed in 1984. The Flying Bobs is one of the very few original Allan Herschell Flying Bobs left in existence, and it has undergone many various rehabs, the most major of which was in 2009 where it was SBNO the entire operating season, but as this video shows, it still is a popular and exciting ride after all these years.

I rode on this Ride at a County Fair, some Twenty years ago. That Traveling Carnival (Tip Top Shows) no longer operate this ride. F+L, Corey

That looks like an old Allen Herschell Flying Bobs from the way that the sign looks and the rest of the ride. The Chance version looks a little larger than that one.

I finally found it! There used to be an amusement park near me in Branson, Missouri called Branson USA. Branson USA opened in 1999 and operated for three seasons before it closed after the season was over in 2001 (right after I was born). In 2002 Herschend bought the park and a few of the rides were auctioned off. A Flying Bobs ride included. This is the one from Branson USA! It is looking really good now! Although I liked the color scheme it had when it was at Branson USA. www.amusementplanet.com/gallery/index.php/Branson-USA/General-Photos/Rides/Alpine-Bobs/busa-alpinebobs001
