Jeff - Thanks a lot for posting these pictures and the information. I also
have been daydreaming lately about building some carnival rides having been
inspired by some MOC's at BrickFest and a recent small tour of amusements
parks in Ohio and Pennsylvania.
Your design of the decagon would give me a good base for the kind of
spinning ride I'm thinking of. My latest idea is to try and make use of
this part for a ride: http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/30275
I had a bunch of these in my "to trade" pile but the other day while staring
at them I realized the bucket would make a good seat for spinning a mini-fig
around and around.
Anyway, thanks for sharing the ideas. They're much appreciated.
Greg
