Welcome to The Midway



I've created this site as a place where people in the amusement industry can buy, sell, or trade their surplus equipment. It now also includes new items from several manufacturers. Your listings can include a detailed description, multiple photos, slide shows, and videos. I will also assist with uploading your media files if necessary. I won't charge to post your items, but I will expect to receive a commission when I am responsible for the sale. You can choose to have the fee deducted from or added to your asking price. After five years of selling equipment, I am still relatively new to brokering equipment; but no one is going to work harder to sell your items. And since it costs you nothing unless I succeed, why not give me a try!


2011 Turbo Tubs of Fun reduced to $25,000


like new turbo tubs of fun ride Here we have a beautiful 2011 Turbo Tubs of Fun with trailer for $25,000. It has only been used one season and they transport it on a small flat-bed trailer. This isn't the trailer it came with from the factory. The owner had to replace it with one that pulls better going down the road. This unit sells new for $37,500. Everything runs and looks great including the turbo lights on the center. The ride runs on 110 volt electricity and can be operated with a 5000 watt generator. It can be pulled with a regular pick-up truck. It is brightly colored, and can ride 24 kids or 12 adults at a time. These photos were just taken the last week of January. It is very easy to set up making it perfect for rental companies While being big enough to travel with a carnival or fun fair. This unit would also be good for an amusement park, family entertainment center, restaurant or shopping mall.

5 Player Electronic Shooting Gallery


electronic shooting gallery Here we have a beautiful five player Amusement Electronics shooting gallery for $8,000 or best offer. The unit is about 15 years old, and it has been a very good money maker in its current location. The game is set to three tokens or quarters which gets the player 15 shots. The guns have a strobe tube light in them that when shot at the target sets off a noise and action. The unit uses an old west theme featuring a jail scene. The owner recently updated the unit. They added more new targets, lights, and scenes. They also stain painted the unit. The targets include a lit up jail sign, several skulls, a frying pan, a coffin, and an old sheriff. The dimensions of this game are currently set to 12 ft. across by 18 ft. deep by 10 ft. in height. The depth can be altered depending on how much room you have or how difficult you want the game to be. The company that manufactured this game is still in business, and is one of the leaders in shooting galleries for arcades. If you were to purchase this game, you would only need to purchase a medium sized compressor for the air pressured moving targets. It takes three standard 110 volt electrical outlets to operate the whole unit. They do have spare parts including fully assembled extra guns. Their reason for selling is simply they have had this game for 15 years and feel its time for a change in selection. The unit is located in Pennsylvania, and the owner does not want to be involved with the tear down or shipping. This decision helps to keep their asking price down. Also, if you are involved in the tear down, then you will be familiar with it when you are ready to reassemble it. If you aren't able to pick it up, then I am willing to work with you on finding a company to do the removal, transport it to your location, and reinstall it on site. I'm told that a brand new five player shooting gallery would sell for $40,000! This one may not be as sophisticated or jazzy, but it is a bargain for less than a third of the cost. This beautiful arcade classic would be a great addition to the arcade of any amusement park, family entertainment center, or themed restaurant.

Brand new kids play areas


brand new kids play areas You can order one of these brand new custom themed kids play areas for $49995. The Play Station provides your customers with a wide variety of activities in a single unit. After ascending the steps, they make their way through a set of punching bags to a jail house maze. It is called this because it uses bars instead of mirrors. Then they slide down a small slide into a ball pool. From there kids climb up a rope ladder to the second story. They cross over it by means of a swinging bridge. Then they slide down a large slide where they are greeted with more punching bags. And finally, they squeeze through a bungee maze. These rides are manufactured specifically for the amusement industry, and they are built from the highest quality of materials. The company has over 20 years of experience in producing these attractions. Several of them have been sold to companies in New Jersey and routinely pass their stringent state inpsections. These are nothing like what you usually find at a pizza place or fast food restaurant. Michael Ivey is in the process of buying the company, and this should only make them better. Some of you may know Michael as he is one of the best air brush artists in the amusement industry specializing in fun houses, glass houses, dark rides, and anything with a marquis or scenery panels. He is ready to discuss any theming ideas you may have. Each unit comes with flags and a lighting package. They can be operated on 110 volt electricity. They also come with two storage rooms. These can be used to carry inflatables, games, or other amusement items. And one of them can be converted to a bunk room for your employees. These are very easy to assemble. One person can set it up by themselves, but with two people working on it; you can have one completely ready to operate in under 30 minutes. These rides are built on a 28 foot trailer that can be made with a bumper hitch or fifth wheel. either way only a one ton pick up is required to pull one. Once one is ordered, they can have it completed in two to three weeks. The next unit is already in the pipeline, and it could be yours. These rides would be perfect for any carnival, fun fair, family fun center, or party rental company. And they have plans to offer a smaller version just for the party rental market. Feel free to call or email with any questions.

Their measurements are 30 inches wide at the handle, 20 inches wide at the frame; and its overall height is 60 inches. The manufacturer tells me he has shipped these all over the United States and the freight generally runs about a hundred dollars. He also tells me that these could be exported outside the U S for serious buyers. And these units may have been designed specifically for the transportation of inflatables, but they could have so many more uses.
