DYKES BROS RIDES--1973


Here's our first two rides that we had with our petting zoo.
We also had a moon bounce and a kiddie bumper cars with a Schantz Popcorn trailer.
These pictures were taken in the Salisbury Mall, I beleive in 1973.
Later We unfortunately graduated to a new Cobra.
Should have stuck with the kiddie rides!

  1. Are those rides from Mangels in Brooklyn? The boats look like a Mangels, not sure about the rest.

  2. Yes Mike. They were built by W.F. Mangels Co. They were in terrible shape when we got them and had to be almost rebuilt!
