[Geauga DogThe only thing better than a naked woman is a naked donkey!]

Also to note on their website they've dropped "Morgan" and are now only going by the name of Chance Rides.

For those who have ridden their Aviator, how is it? I saw the one at Kings Dominion back in 2003 but didn't get to ride it.

In a certain way it's sad to see how these companies no longer offer their long line of products. Chance and Huss both have downsized their product lines over the years.

[DenDenFabulously FIERCE!]

The only new Chance ride I can think of in the last few years is that they sold a few of those "unicoaster" flat rides.

And it's really not "theirs". US Thrill Rides licenses it to them.

The only new Chance ride I can think of in the last few years is that they sold a few of those "unicoaster" flat rides. I'm guessing they've sold a few of the KMG fireballs in the U.S. as well.

One thing I didn't know until looking at their website, it looks like they sell (maybe manufacture in the U.S.?) Vekoma roller skater and junior suspended coasters too!

I believe they manufactured the family invert at Frontier City.

[chadsterThe Pony Express can't find my teepee]

^ Vekoma needed all the help they could get

They have sold a few more Aviators of late. But really they seem to be selling and manufacturing a wide range of things these days from multiple ride designers such as Vekoma.

From their website

Throughout the last decade, Chance has fully consolidated the Morgan Manufacturing operation into to its Wichita, Kan. headquarters. Chance will continue to offer rides from the Morgan product line, as well as provide spare parts and technical services for all Morgan rides. The company ownership remains within the Chance family.

In celebration of this milestone 50th year in 2011, Chance is reintroducing the Chance Rides brand in all its company marketing efforts

Might as well be theirs. Seems like US Thrill Rides is only in the business of "licensing" (selling) designs to companies. It's as if Chance just subcontracted them.

[coaster-crazyI'm a know-it-all about donkeys!]

Morgan still had an office in La Selva Beach, CA until April 2010, so they are now fully consolidated (as noted above).

[simon8899If the donkey is rockin, don't come knockin!]

The only Morgan I rode so far was the Pacific Coaster at Pacific Park on the Santa Monica Pier - they never sell much overseas...

[montezooma"Can I get clamshells out of this ATM?"]

^ Funny, I have been on all the Morgan coasters except for that one. I’ll rate Superman down in Mexico City the best followed by Steel Eel.

But enough about Morgan, I have a Carowinds update coming up later today.

Mamba is the best of all 3 Cedar Fair DH Morgan Hypers.

[RoCo"Excuse me, miss, may I pound my large rooster into your donkey?"]

It really is a shame Morgan is no longer. I finally got to ride Phantom's Revenge at Kennywood this summer and it was a blast and a half.

Agreed that their trains are mighty weak, but Mamba made me see spots a bit on the mid-course helix and the Pacific Pier West Coaster is fun!
