We’re proud to welcome Canadian-owned West Coast Amusements as our new, long-term ride provider, bringing fresh energy and even more thrills to the midway. (Pssst. Did somebody say ‘the Zipper’?)

West Coast Amusements is the largest Canadian midway operation in Western Canada and is one of a few still family-operated. Founded in 1962 by Irvin “Bingo” Hauser, the Chilliwack, BC-based company has been run by four generations of the Hauser family—continuing a proud tradition of excellence and entertainment.
