World Cup Fever!!! Mechanical Rodeo Football

The greatest sporting event in the world is nearly upon us (yes even more so than the Olympics)!

With the FIFA World Cup going on in South Africa the world is going to be going football (soccer) mad, so we thought we would design a game to capitalise on that market.

Mechanical Rodeo Football / Soccer from Galaxy - The Rodeo Bull Company



Knowing that we are renowned for our innovation and versatility I am proud to tell you that this isn't just a football pitch.
With different events in mind we designed the top cover sheet to be removable to use wither as a green bed or as another sport e.g. American Football, Rugby etc etc
Along with the interchangeable pitch, we made the pop up goal posts removable as well. So you can chance them out for different style goals.

Worlds First Kosher Mechanical Bull

It has been a long time since I got time to write the blog, but rest assured there will be a few entries coming soon.
This week has been an interesting week with some great new products leaving the factory down here in Port Charlotte.

We got asked if we could make a ride for Hebrew National Hot Dogs, no problem we thought, expecting that they would want a giant mechanical hotdog! But no, Hebrew National wanted to promote the kosher difference, giving a visual representation of where the hot dogs come from.



So using the graphic off the Hewbrew National website we created a custom Hebrew National mechanical 'cow' just for them.

What do you think? All of us here at galaxy bulls are really happy with the final result.

End of hectic week...

So, I know its only Thursday but this is going to be the end of a really hectic period for everyone here.
As well as the usual order for mechanical bulls to get out, we have had two custom projects on at the same time.

The first one was for Tecate Light, they are sponsoring the PBR tour and wanted to showcase there beer. Can you think of a better way to do that than a 4 foot replica rodeo beer can, just like a mechanical bull! If you are going to see and of the remaining PBR events, make sure you go jump on and have a ride.



The other job is a new direction for the company. We have been asked to design a magic carpet ride that will utilise the multi ride system that we created way back in 1990. The brief was to create a magic flying carpet that can seat 4 people, with a custom program to control the ride. This magical carpet is set against a green screen, you ride the carpet seeing yourself on a television flying over a city scene. You can then buy the DVD to take home! This is being developed by an English company based in Blackpool and could be replicated the world over. Im sure it will be. Imagine flying a magic carpet around the sites and sounds of Las Vegas!


I will have some photos in the next week or so of the ride, im sure it is going to look impressive in its new home in Blackpool!


With us having to change a few details for the Magic Carpet it pushed forward our development of the Touchscreen Control Console.
You cannot walk down a street without seeing some kind of touch screen, so we began to develop our own version, as always innovating the leisure industry. What the new console enables us to do is have up to 30 different program rides in there, varying in speed, so you could have a slow steady control for Angus McRodeo our mechanical bull for kids, or a faster ride for the rodeo bull or mechanical surf machine. As well as that, you can record the best time of an event at that particular venue! So for regular events you can see who the longest rider is at the end of the month!

Apart from that I am heading back to the UK factory tomorrow to sign off on the magic carpet and check on production before I fly out to Colorado for some snowboarding.
Anyway, there are plenty of new web updates at www.therodeobullcompany.com , if you have any suggestions or anything you'd like to see on the site, drop me a line and i'll see what i can do.

Until then continue to follow us on twitter
