The ride is owned by the traveling carnival Reithoffer Shows, which contracted with Thor to bring their attractions to Coney from May 22-June 3. It is not a permanent attraction and means nothing for the future of Coney's amusement district. The people setting up the ride are obviously ride jocks employed by Reithoffer, not Thor. All Thor Equities deserves credit for is getting lots of media coverage by publicizing the temporary rides and attractions as The Summer of Hope at the same time they are putting the screws to the city to rezone the area for highrise condos and retail. Your spin tactics won't work, Thor! Better get your pr flacks to improve their skills by riding the Tilt-A-Whirl!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
