Description
Chance Rides produces a variety of amusement park rides.
History
Chance Rides was founded in 1961 by Richard Harold Chance, who already worked in the amusement park industry since 1946. Chance Rides acquired the assets of Allan Herschell Company in 1970, and acquired Bradley & Kaye in 1986. In the early 2000s, the company went through a bankruptcy, but was re-founded in 2002.
During the same time, Michael Chance (grandson of Chance Rides' original founder) acquired the assets of Morgan Manufacturing, founding Chance Morgan in 2001. From 2011 onwards, Chance Morgan functions as subsidiary of Chance Rides.
