Reithoffer Shows to Take delivery of New Booster in 2025
Reithoffer Shows was out in force at the trade show with Rick Reithoffer leading a contingent that included Rick Jr. and Matthew Reithoffer.
The company was out shopping for new spectacular equipment and ordered another spectacular ride to add to its already phenomenal arsenal, but the ride won't be delivered for two years due to extended lead times.
What the company is celebrating is a new Booster ride coming in April of 2025. The new Super Spectacular has ovals so the crew and inspectors can look inside the the arm to inspect. It also has a heavier gauge steel than many similar attractions. The ride will be on full display during the 2025 season.
Othe new recent purchases for the show include a “Hulk” ride from Technical park, a Bertazzon Ice Jet, and Bertazzon Wave Swinger. The Wave Swinger is a beautiful piece according to Reithoffer, sporting hand painted scenery with depictions of Venice. These rides have been a great addition to the show over the last few years.
Reithoffer said 2024 was a “good year”, especially thank to the efforts of the OABA and others to help carnivals bring in foreign labor to the US. He says all showmen and fairs should support the OABA is their efforts to support new legislation to ensure the continued viability of the H-2B program and to bring about permanent improvements to the program. His show has about 90% H-2B labor and the workers have become invaluable to Reithoffer and all other showmen in the US.
Reithoffer said he loves going out west, playing events such as the New Mexico State Fair and dates in Texas, a departure from their traditional East Coast route. Ricky said the moves have let him see more of the country and the differences in people and culture.
One sore spot for the show, and for all shows and events in these times is the issue of security. Especially for spring “still dates”, the show has had to fence the grounds each week, hire extra security and place metal detectors at entrances, all in an effort to keep troublemakers, mostly youth from running on the midway. Reithoffer reported that their efforts have paid off for the most part and they are hopeful that the measures will enable them to keep their spring dates intact for the foreseeable future.
