- Service Type: On-site troubleshooting, electrical system repair, ride reactivation
Background
In early 2024, we were introduced to a long-idle Frisbee ride located in an amusement park in Dushanbe, the capital of Tajikistan. The ride had been out of service for over three years due to a severe failure in the control cabinet.
Interestingly, during the first year after the breakdown, the park had already sought help from several different companies, including a Chinese amusement ride manufacturer that even sent an engineer to the site. Unfortunately, all repair attempts ended in failure.
It wasn’t until the park’s manager spoke with one of our trusted partners in Uzbekistan—who had previously collaborated with us—that our team at Hooplo Rides was brought into the picture. Upon understanding the situation, we quickly stepped in to offer professional support.
The Challenge
When our team learned about the issue, the Frisbee ride had been idle for years, with its electrical system completely disabled. The internal wiring of the control cabinet had deteriorated, and the existing setup had become both outdated and unreliable. Years of neglect had made reactivation seem nearly impossible, and the client was doubtful that the ride could ever be operational again.
Our Solution
At Hooplo Rides, we pride ourselves on tackling complex challenges with practical solutions:
- We started with remote consultations to gather technical details and system history.
- Shortly after, we sent a professional engineer on-site to Dushanbe.
- Upon inspection, the engineer carefully opened the control cabinet, documented the wiring layout, and identified several critical faults—including burned-out relays, disconnected terminals, and outdated PLC settings.
- Using both replacement parts and expert reprogramming, our engineer restored the system step-by-step.
- Once the repair was completed, the Frisbee ride underwent multiple safety checks and test cycles to ensure consistent performance.
The Result
The Frisbee ride was successfully restored and is now fully operational. To verify its functionality, the park’s own team volunteered to ride during the test runs—enjoying the thrill of the Frisbee after years of silence.
The project not only saved a major investment for the client but also reinforced Hooplo Rides’ reputation for providing reliable after-sales support, even for products we didn’t originally manufacture.
