Had a bit of a moment when I realised if the board was missing or had a fooked chip it would never work again .

The exact name of this machine is "Le Grand 8", which stands in French for rollercoaster.

This was a kit made by an operator based in Paris suburbs. I was lucky to met him few months ago and am a close friend of his nephew.

 

It was probably exported to Africa after it was not fashionable anymore. Quite amazing how it traveled !
