RIP Sellner Mfg. (Inventor of the Tilt A Whirl)

[FParker185]

Yet another American ride manufacturer bites the dust. Sellner out of Fairbault, MN has sold itself to Larson Mfg. down in texas who of course makes all the Ring OF Fire and SuperLoop rides amongst other rides. All manufacturing will be moved to Texas in the near future.

I think Eli Bridge down the road in Jacksonville, IL is just about the only major ride company left in the US that hasn't been bought/sold out/gone out of business/declared bankruptcy etc.

Site is not updated yet, but you can see what all Sellner does at:

Also they have some reasonably priced merchandise, which I may look into getting sooner rather than later.

Sad to see this happen. The tilt-a-whirl was always my favorite ride as a kid and is a favorite to this day. You are right, the t-shirt they make is great. Too bad shipping is $10.

says sweatshirt shipping is $10, for T-shirts pretty much says you need to call to find out what they got and order, it may be cheaper.

^Here's hoping as it's a great shirt.
