ATV Parts Depot index
September 9th, 2010 | Author: atvparts
If you have leather seats in your car, use the MOTHERS spray *same red bottle, just a spray for leather, then get this conditioner. It is recommended that you spray with a cleaner first, then use the conditioner to keep the leather SOFT and prevent it from cracking. It has a nice smell to it and keeps the leather looking nice. And what you want to do is use a nice soft cloth to really rub the conditioner into the leather. Also, a little goes a long way. I used more than i needed and found that it made my seats slippery!! So only use enough to cover the area, then rub it in. Also, you have to put a bit of elbow grease into it bc it will leave marks. You have to really rub it in to make it even and smooth. Otherwise, it will dry, and you will see the spots where you did not rub it as well.
hi, my friend and i were in my woods/backyard and my friend spotted a quad that had looked like it had been outside for weeks. him and his friend began pushing it down a hill and then i did too. then he wanted to hot-wire it. He used my tools and carved the seat open and the side of the plastic things that cover the top of the wheels to say mine now with a utility knife. I took off the part that goes around thing that tells you your mileage on the quad. he cut the ignition part where you put the key in and turn it, leaving it ATV Parts Depot useless. All i did was push the ATV and take that part. so after two weeks of it being there the person that owns it finds it and tells my friend who tells him my name and number because i had told him about it before. His dad calls me (the kid is a senior in high school) saying the vehicle was stolen and vandalized. So i said my friend did most of the damage. All i did was push it and take off the receiver that is around the meter which was broken anyway. Now he wants me to pay for the damages and split the amount of pay with my friend which is totally unfair considering i didn’t do anything. I need an estimate, for a Yamaha grizzly 600 that looks like its pretty old, but like i said i need an estimate on how much the parts would be. my mom said if she(meaning me) has to pay(with my money) more than 500 dollars that i am in big trouble. PLEASE HELP ME!! i NEED an estimate because i still have to push that damn quad uphill with my friend to back where we found it so this kids dad can bring it to a place to get it fixed and get an estimate on how much that all will cost. thank you very much

Galaxyland Express
3 tickets
A train ride through Galaxyland. Although the ride’s target group is small children, it is very popular among all ages because of the slow, leisurely pace and the fact that there are no height restrictions. Galaxyland Express survived the park’s extensive renovation period that saw most of the original rides removed, albeit the station and ride vehicles were extensively remodelled into a rocket theme.
Cosmic Bounce
3 tickets
10 seated family ride full of bounces guaranteed to shake you up. Essentially a pint-sized and gentler version of the Space Shot that is run mainly by cables and winches (as opposed to the caisson and weight system of the Space Shot).

Ride
Tickets Required
Description
Galaxy Orbiter
6 tickets
Canada’s first spinning roller coaster, and the newest ride. Installed in 2007, Galaxy Orbiter is the park’s second longest roller coaster (behind the Mindbender), and is a good step up for those who have outgrown the Autosled but are not ready to try the Mindbender yet. Construction of the ride forced the permanent removal of Rockin’ Rocket and the UFO Maze as well as the temporary closure of Autosled and Galaxykids Raceway.
Space Shot
6 tickets
12 person ride launches passengers nearly 120 feet skyward then thrusts them back to earth. It should be noted that, while the ride is called “Space Shot” (and features the usual S&S Space Shot signage on the ride vehicle), it operates in the same style (and may have been converted to) a Double Shot.
Solar Flare

Cosmo’s Space Derby
4 tickets
2-seated bumper cars built for adults. One of the original attractions, the enclosure area in which the cars bang and bash was extensively remodelled during Galaxyland’s renovation period, with the mirrors surrounding the enclosure wall replaced by space-themed murals.

Mindbender
7 tickets
The “world’s largest indoor high speed, triple loop roller coaster.” A mirror image and modified “Drier Looping” designed by Schwarzkopf. Mindbender was recently modified with new fail safe magnetic brakes.
Decommissioned Rides
Ride
Tickets Required
Description
Kiddie Bumper Boats
1 ticket
Battery operated boats in a shallow pool for children to drive around, unknown manufacturer, closed 1988, Located on a former pond where the birthday rooms are now (beside the train station). Pond itself was removed after a collapse occurred into the movie theatres below.
Kiddie Karavan
2 tickets
Miniature Carousel for small children with no horses. Riders would ATV Parts Depot ride in either 1 of 2 fish, a deer, a duck or a carriage. Originally known as a mini-wave swinger, the characters the childer were seated on were secured together, and the speed of the ride slowed so that seats did not swing outwards.
Paddle Boats
Unknown
Paddle boats for larger children and adults, originally borrowed Pelican brand boats from Hawrelak Park, later Sun Dolphin brand boats. Galaxyland Raceway is located in its former location. The “islands” of the lake and staining from water exposure are still visible, especially on the “island” that supports the Dragon Wagon. Additionally, the exit/entrance stairs from the ride are also visible beneath the base of the Cosmic Spinner, and are best seen from riding the Galaxyland Express.
Aerocars
2 tickets
Known also as a Mini-Enterprise, it was a scaled down version, with six cars of similar proportions to its larger namesake. Ride moved in a circular motion, and tilted up to approxmately 30 degrees while rotating, but the revolutions per minute did not allow the cars to swing outward like a full size Enterprise ride, they merely hung. Located between the Mindbender control booth and the balloon race ride.
Zipper
Unknown
The Zipper was located near the operating booth of the Mindbender where the entrance to the “Haunted Castle” now resides. It was removed due to numerous breakdowns in one spot. The mechanics could stop the constant breakdowns by modifying the ride to run differently but it would not be as much fun to ride. Also to constant breakdowns were because that the Zipper in Galaxyland was the only park model zipper known. It ran all year round in end put excessive wear on the ride causing constant breakdowns. Manufactured by Chance Amusements.
Orbitron
4 Tickets
A ride with a center that rises about 12′, and crank arms at the ends of the sweeps. Each crank arm has two tubs on it, and as the center rotates, the crank arms rotate to bounce the tubs up and down. Manufactured by Zierer and known as a Hexentanz or Fireball. Upon the Orbitron’s removal, the cement pad underneath it supported the “UFO Maze”. This maze stood for a number of years before it was removed due to the construction of the Galaxy Orbiter. The pad currently supports a “finale” section of the Galaxy Orbiter. Despite its removal, the ride’s operating booth (complete with a height-restriction notice) and the queue lines can still be seen, and are best viewed when riding the Mindbender or Galaxy Orbiter.
Disco Dynamo
5 tickets
Spinning ride, capable of rotating forward and backwards on an undulating path in a circle. Generally the ride only ran backwards but was capable of forward motion. Manufactured by Mack Rides GmbH as a park model of their “Disco Star” or “Super Disco Star” The Sonic Storm is located in this ride’s former location. Ride sold and operates indoors as the Disco Star, at Fun Zone in New York State.
Perilous Pendulum
5 tickets
Upside down boat. Manufactured by Intamin AG as Looping Starship. The Solar Flare is located in this rides former location. It should be noted that the main riding area (the boat) was located in the parking lot just north of Galaxylands entrance 10 wrapped in tarps until its removal in 2004.
Drop of Doom
5 tickets
A first generation free fall tower ride. Manufactured by Intamin AG. Riders were transported up a high gantry in a cage similar to an elevator car before being dropped down 120 feet into an exiting area. Despite the arguable fact that it was the park’s second greatest attraction (behind the Mindbender), it was removed in 2002. The tall, cylindrical space where the gantry stood is currently occupied by the “Space Shot” tower ride (albeit it operates similar to a Double Shot). The entrance/exit area sat unoccupied for a short time before housing Quirks in the Works, an interactive laser ride. Despite many first generation freefall rides having been scrapped, the Drop of Doom was re-assembled, painted a dark red/burgundy color, as opened in 2006 as the Hollywood Tower in Movie Land Park, Italy.
Rockin’ Rocket
4 tickets
A rocket shaped vehicle would move back and forth on a curved metal base while spinning. A rocket version of the Zamperla Rockin’ Tug ride. The Galaxy Orbiter’s loading and unloading station is located in its former location. The rocket itself sat outside of Galaxyland wrapped in tarps, until its removal.
Sonic Storm
6 tickets
A ride for the daring! 32 passengers are propelled backward in a circular bouncing motion. A Techno Jump manufactured by Sartori. This ride is in the former location of the Disco Dynamo. The ride is no longer on the park’s map, yet hasn’t been removed as of early October.
Autocars
2 tickets
Small themed antique cars on a “L” Shaped circular track for younger children. Formerly located opposite the Autosled, later replaced by the Laser Maze and a coin operated remote control car attraction
Kiddie Parachute Ride
3 tickets
A tall parachute style drop ride for children, Originally located on the site of the SR2 ride, which was later replaced by the kiddie dragon coaster. Suffered low ridership due to the height (children were taken to the ceiling before being dropped), which frightened many. Also difficult to load/unload children without adult assistance.
SR2 Motion Simulator
Cash Ride, Later 4 Tickets
Originally a leased ride, not covered by the Fantasyland ticket system. Replaced the Kiddie Parachute Drop. A motion simulator ride with a 16 mm film projector simulating various other amusement rides, such as “The Beast” roller coaster at kings island. Initially problematic due to insufficient cooling of hydraulics, failure of the film mechanism, and subject of numerous customer complaints due to not accepting ride coupons. Later replaced by the Kiddie Dragon coaster. Manufactured by Doron
Astro Base Alpha
4 tickets
A motion ride with arcade features. Located originally in the footprint of the Mindbender Rollercaster in a dome structure. Ride was enclosed in the dark and used a modified Tilt-a-Whirl platform, with riders seated in molded chairs, each with a “laser gun” As the ride undulated and spun, the riders were to shoot at light sensitive targets located in the upper dome, and scores were recorded on the internal computer system. Delayed in opening due to the Mindbender accident, it ran for only a couple of years. Completely demolished and replaced by the current theatre within the Mindbender footprint. Manufactured by Sellner
Space Probe
3 tickets
Rides were seated in a sphere which was in turn located in a formed clear plastic tube. Ride consisted of 3 powered fans lifting the sphere within the tube, and “bouncing” the sphere multiple times. Thrill derived from the feeling the sphere would be propelled from the open end of the tube, though this was physically impossible due to the loss of air pressure once the sphere reached the top. Original concept called for several units which would have “battles” between them with shooting and lasers, but only one was ever purchased, and modified to bounce riders. Originally located behind the Mindbender operators booth, later relocated closer to the Orbitron Ride Entrance. Eventually scrapped due to low ridership, and repeated mechanical failures. Manufactured by Saker One Corp.
Harbour Cruisers
2 tickets
A boat ride located in the lake formerly located where the Galaxyland Raceway and the Spinning Coaster are now located. Consisted of 12 barge looking boats with canopies, four seats each. Every boat was affixed to a square nylon cord which was pulled through the bottom of the lake on a submerged track structure. Never a popular ride due to the lack of theming and scenery on the lake, the ride was constantly breaking due to the high friction force on the nylon cord which caused it to snap often, stranding riders. Lake also did not have a filtration system and resulted in algae blooms and constant draining and cleaning. Replaced on an interim basis by paddle boats, until the lake was finally drained and discontinued. Boats were sold in the local “bargain finder” paper.
Laser Maze
Cash Ride, later 3 Tickets.
A walk through dark ride, which replaced the Autocars. As players walked through the maze, robots, targets and the like were illuminated, and the object was to shoot the targets on them. Each player was issued a rifle looking gun which sent out a light beam to record a hit on the targets. Scores were recorded on an IBM XT computer, and displayed on screens around the attraction. Originally located in a leased retail bay of the mall, later relocated to within Fantasyland, and operated as a separate entity which did not take ride tickets. Later, due to numerous complaints, ride tickets were eventually accepted.
Haunted Dark Ride
Never Completed – Likely 4
A haunted dark ride was scheduled to be built in an area located where the operations office and wall games are in phase two. Never completed due to schedule issues during the opening of phase two of the amusement park, the cars and equipment were ordered, and sat in the basement of Phase three of the mall until 1989 when they were sold. Ride would have operated on two levels, on a spiral oval track, and went into its own basement, before re-emerging on the main floor. Basement was hastily converted to a warehouse for games inventory, and today the only sign of its existence is a change in in concrete floor texture over the basement, near the office.
Galaxy Twister
6 tickets
A fast speed 36-seated ride that moves and twists forward and backward with sharp drops and flipping motions. A Crazy Flip (Super Loop on Top) manufactured by Soriani & Moser. Removed in 2009 to make way for Sonic Twister.
Controversy
Galaxyland was originally known as Fantasyland. However, the name Fantasyland was already used for one of the theme lands existing in Disneyland and other theme parks owned by the Walt Disney Company. A lawsuit eventually forced the mall’s owners to change the park’s name, though they were allowed to continue using the name “Fantasyland Hotel” for a hotel in the mall. Fantasyland became Galaxyland officially on July 1, 1995. This was celebrated with a new “space age” theme, and the arrival of the park’s new mascot “Cosmo”.

I’ve tried alot of other product because I was unable to find this brand in stores near me. I didn’t like anything else due to smell or residue left behind. (a white chalk look) A found this on-line a year or more ago and have been ordering ever since. The shipping is stated on the page when ordering so it was no surprise to me. I found TCP Global to have the cheapest price AND the cheapest shipping on this product. I order 6 at a time to save on shipping and it keeps fine. All in All… I love the product and the smell is refreshing. My husband is weird with smells but also likes it. Or maybe he likes the way it leaves the leather smooth!!
Used this in conjunction with the Mother’s Leather Cleaner and the two were fantastic. They leave the leather clean and smooth.
I’m not sure why the leather care creams and conditioners have stopped smelling like leather. This product works okay, but smells like stale pizza. I won’t be using it again, because of the smell.
Mother’s Leather Conditioner is a fine product and it fulfills the promises presented in advertising and product packaging. I recommend it. Unfortunately, I could not find it in stores and had to buy it on line.
Gentle on the leather and cleaned very nicely. I would highly recommend this and other Mother’s products.
I tried several different cleaners on leather from a used car we bought, this was the ONLY thing that worked, and it worked like a MOTHER!!!
WORKS GREAT ON WIRE WHEELS. DEFINITELY WORTH THE MONEY JUST IN THE AMOUNT OF TIME IS SAVES.
This is a great produce for polishing up those special auto rims. The job is made simple with this product and Mothers Mimi Ball is a must.
This thing is an even bigger rip off than Mothers “PowerMetal”. I expected a fairly heavy duty, functional tool for the price. Surprise, surprise, it’s a cheap piece of junk. Within a minute of using it, the crappy ball came detached from the shaft (oops, I guess it’s made to rotate in ONLY ONE DIRECTION). The junk foam is off center, so, the thing flops around on the work piece like a carp out of water. Pass by this one and get a decent polishing wheel.
I worked at the detailing department at a car wash and know something about buffers. This thing works *great* on paint, just like a commercial grade buffer wheel. If you have experience with a regular buffer wheel, this is an easy adaptation. It’s small enough to handle easily, but big enough to do a fairly quick job.
I use a corded drill for doing a large vehicle. Unless your cordless has brand new batteries, they may run out. But you will save money by not having to buy a buffing tool. 2 of these babies (1 to polish, 1 to wax) and a good drill is all you will ever need. They clean up by soaking in dish soap solution for an hour or two (use enough soap). I definitely recommend this product to anyone who wants a good looking car and wants to save about $100 on equipment!
