MOC: Dennis van Ooijen carnival rides

[kermisfan112]

Hello everyone on Eurobricks!

I make carnival rides with lego.

The rides are fully transportable.

Here are some of my pictures.

First of all, I'd like to post a build-up-report from my first ride, the Deca Dance

First of all, the ride arrives as a trailer

Then the ride is being driven to place

Then the "diamond" is connected and the red/white lines are removed

Then the wheels are being driven away the the ride is being placed correctly

Here's a picture of the wheels

Next the arms are placed correctly

Then the rides becomes round

next the rest of the gondolla's is being placed

Next the floor is being built up

Ready

The ticket booth's are being made ready

Now it's time for the poles

Now for the fences

Now the decoration's are being placed

And now it's ready

Here is the complete transport

And another total picture

These models are still under construction, so they arren't finnished yet.

First, the Showtime

Next, the Intoxx

First there are some transportation pictures.

When fully built up it looks like this

Your comments are welcome.

Only two things scare me and one of them is nuclear war. Carnies. Circus folk. Nomads, you know. Smell like cabbage. Small hands. All seriousness aside, nice work!

AWESOME MOC's 'kermisfan112', the Deca Dance ride is jut too much and with such detail too !

Brick On Ride On !

[kermisfan112]

Thanks for your comments :D

One trailer for the Intoxx still has to be made, so some parts that are on a trailer are laying on the table

And here is the testvideo of the Showtime

It's just a test video so it swings zo low.

It also shocks a little bit, but that's beacause operating the model and filming at the same time are hard..

Your comments are welcome.

Nice work. I've seen some nice carnival rides built out of LEGO but the fact you've actually built the various trucks to transport them takes the cake! This is one of the most original set of MOCs I've seen in a few years. While I'm not too keen on a few of the modified pieces (the silver baseplates in particular), the overall quality of this MOC is hard to ignore. Do you have any video footage of the "Deca Dance" in operation. I really like the setup for this MOC and I would love to see it in motion.

These MOCs are certainly a great way to introduce yourself to the Eurobricks forums. Keep them coming !

Wow, those are incredible! They look like the real thing. I see these trucks out in Philly all summer from the endless amount of carnivals. I wasn't expecting them to be so prototypical and they are. I wish Lego would release something like this, that would be really cool. Amazing work!!

Very clever design...great colours. It looks great!

[kermisfan112]

Thanks for the comments

This is a ML-Cad design for the Crazy Beach Party

Here are some pictures I took on one of my expositions.

Hey, that's me

Your comments are welcome

[Drudoo]

This is f*cking awesome =D

[kermisfan112]

Time for a new update

First of all, I want to thank everyone for the're replies so far.

Here is a testvideo of my new ride, the Crazy Beach Party

The ride isn't finnished yet so the movements are not as I want them, but I'm working on that.

The next ride that will be built will be one of the rides from German attractionbuilder HUSS

Your replies are welcome

[lorax]

Wow, these are insane.

Really clever and look like the real versions of these types of rides.

[kermisfan112]

The designs for the new rides are nearly finished by now.

There are going to be 2 new rides from HUSS, the Magic and the Enterprise.

Here are 2 screenshots of the new rides witch are nealy finished

Magic

Enterprise

The first parts are being orderd soon.

Replies are welcome.

Really nice concept! Love the wat it can be transported and build into a carnival!

[kermisfan112]

Time for some pictures.

First of all, the Barbershop

Next is the Crazy Beach Party.

Ticket booth ( sorry for the bad quality, the lichting was wierd )

[kermisfan112]

It's been a while since the last update, so I thought I'd make a update.

After some time, the floor of the Crazy Beach Party is done.

I think the ride looks better with the floors.

And this is the truck for the ride.

In the next update I will post pictures of the Magic and my new Booster.

These are really amazing. I can't tell you how many hours I've spent admiring them. These combine two things kids love - LEGO and carnivals. What still amazes me is is that they are not only functional but portable. I just wanted to tell you what a great job you've done on these, true masterpieces.

[TheLonelySquireOfGothos]

These are really astounding! The addition of printed decals really takes them to the next level, IMO. Keep up the great work!

[kermisfan112]

It's been a while since I last updated here, but I've certainly done a lot since then, so here's a mega update.

Trucks for the Magic:

Scania 133

DAF 95

Testvideo of the Magic:

The new Booster:

Transport

Your work is amazing!

I'm currently working on a 6-wide circus train, but after seeing these I might have to go 8-wide to add some rides!

Once again awesome work!

[kermisfan112]

Another update of the Magic.

The ride itself is almost finished, all that needs to be done are some small decorations.

The transport is almost finished too, al that needs to be built for that is a DAF truck.

Transport

[kermisfan112]

Last week I sorted out my Lego, and I built some stuff with it.

This is the transport of the XenoX

Action

I'm going to rebuilt the ride itself, so I can put some motors in it.

Comments are welcome.

[kermisfan112]

Time for a transport update.

The transport of the Deca Dance has changed, the DAF trucks are gone, now there are Scania's

The Magic transport is finished, now all that's left to do are some minor things to the ride itself.

[dvsntt]

These are so awesome!
