Finding the Best Bucking Machine for Mechanical Bull Rides
Bull riding is one of the most popular events at the rodeo. Watching man against beast thrills spectators time and again. The edge of the seat excitement keeps fans coming back for more. But, there are many fans that want to give it a try but do not want to face the real beast. For them, mechanical bull rides give the thrills without the danger of being stomped by the bull.
Finding the right bucking machine takes some knowledge and careful deliberation on the buyer’s part. When a person is searching for the best machine out there they should check out Galaxy mechanical bull machines. There are many machines to choose from that have different skill levels.
For tight budgets there is a mechanical bull riding machine that will not break the pocket book. It comes with a standard body and rubber horns. The control console is a joystick with ten different speeds. It has an inflatable bed that is sixteen foot and a motion base that does 360 degree spins.
The regular bull bucking machine is covered in real rawhide and has LED eyes that flash. The horns are made from soft safety foam to keep people from getting hurt by them. These rides are fitted with their Automatic Stop System. This system shuts the bull off as soon as the rider lets go of the rope that they use to hang on with.
The deluxe mechanical bull has a western themed base and control console. This ride also stops as soon as the rider lets go of the rope. Safety is the name of the game and Galaxy makes sure that they have it covered. Mechanical bull rides give thrills and spills without serious injury to the riders.
Galaxy has a new premiere bucking machine that has a split rail fence design and electrical score board which display current and best riding times. There are six completion level speeds. As with their other mechanical bulls, safety comes first and this bull stops when the rope is let go.
Galaxy Bulls has not forgotten the little cowboys out there either. They make inflatable rubber mechanical bull rides that have the kids in mind. These rides are made especially for children under five years of age to enjoy.
All of these rides are easy to assemble and break down so they can travel anywhere there is electricity available for use. For a business or some backyard fun these bucking rides bring the rodeo to life for kids and adults.

Add Rodeo Bull Riding to Your Family Entertainment Center
If you own a Family Entertainment Center, Indoor Fun Center or FEC , do you know that mechanical bull riding has made a comeback? It is no longer just a cowboy drunken bar thing on a Friday night. Even the children now can ride as there are machines designed just for them. It is fun, safe, and family time anytime.
So, what type of bull riding should a company choose for their FEC? It just depends on what type of center they have. If it’s an Indoor Fun Center designed mainly for the children, try either a Soft Foam Safety Head Bull or Angus McRodeo. Although the younger kids love an Angus McRodeo Bull, it’s basically meant for kids under 5 so if you’re crowd is made up of older kids too, the Soft Foam Safety Head Bull will probably work best.
The Soft Head Bull is unique as the heads can be changed out to keep it fresh and different every week. You can even see how popular one bull head is to another to bring in business. There are three heads to choose from: Macho, Crazy Cow, and the regular head. How the heads are made is using a material called Sofolex. This is soft foam that will eliminate any injuries. These heads has LED eyes that flash and they can be bolted to the body of the bull to change out. They look very real.
The Deluxe Mechanical Bull Riding Machine has a blow up western corral theme, with a blower, using the Macho Bull design. When the rope is grabbed by the rider the bull is activated. When the rider falls off the bull, then the rope is released. The bull will stop automatically. The bull will have a real bucking and spinning motion with real looking flashing eyes. There is a wooden crate to complete the western theme, which houses the console. There are two LED clocks, six automatic pre-set programs, a Joystick, and a LED display.
For total family fun at a Family Entertainment Center you must try the Premium Mechanical Bull. This is a very real western setting as an inflatable. It’s bright with the green grass for the bottom and a yellow fence. There is even a LED scoreboard that shows the rider’s time and the best time of the day. The console looks like a wooden crate. The bull comes with an Automatic Stop Sensor for safety. The bull’s head is soft foam for safety. There are two styles to choose from, a Macho or Regular Bull. This will bring a crowd of people in just to watch and entertain while other people will do their best to best the bull!
The FEC business, as we all know, is extremely competitive. The only way to stay at the top is to change your equipment frequently. That’s where the mechanical bull comes in. If you purchase a mechanical bull multi ride unit, you’ll be able to offer all types of rides, with simple attachment changes. How about a surf machine, mechanical football ride, or even a mechanical reindeer.
If you want your business to grow and keep your customers coming back again and again…think Mechanical Bull!

Galaxy America Unleases a Grizzly Bear in South West Florida
The Rodeo Bull Company announced today that there is a Grizzly loose in South West Florida. It’s not dangerous though…it’ll just make you laugh!
(I-Newswire) Port Charlotte, Florida, December 18, 2010 – 
The Rodeo Bull Company/Galaxy America announced today that they’ve let a Grizzly loose in South West Florida! Don’t be alarmed, no one is in danger of being mauled. On the contrary, people will be in far more danger of dying of laughter when they first see the Mechanical Rodeo Grizzly Bear!
Galaxy America from Port Charlotte Florida, is the original manufacturer of the mechanical multi ride bucking machine. CEO Robin Whincup explains “we were contacted by Kevin Hamel of the Totem Inn in Alaska inquiring about our products. Kevin wanted a new attraction for his restaurant and explained he would love a rodeo bull ride, but not many people in Alaska would ride bulls. He wanted something that would be a unique Alaskan theme. His thought was that a mechanical Grizzly ride would be a huge hit and he wondered if we would be interested in designing something along this line. Without hesitation, I said, of course we could! Kevin & I went through the finer details of what he would like and we set to work. I must say it is one of the most interesting projects we have ever done and immense fun. I am sure Kevin and the Totem Inn will be the talking point in Alaska for a long time to come” The Rodeo Bull Company/Galaxy America recently made news when they developed the “Jose Quervo Mechanical Lime Ride”. The multi ride mechanical bull attachments can add enormous revenue to any bucking machine operator’s bottom line. Obviously a mechanical bull is no longer JUST a mechanical bull!

The annual IAAPA trade show was back in Orlando, Florida, which will be home for the next five years. There were many old faces there as well as new ones; but one of the favorite companies was Galaxy America – The Rodeo Bull Company. This was their 12th year in succession exhibiting at the amusement industries premier trade show.
Celebrating their 20th anniversary in manufacturing mechanical bulls they had an impressive booth covering 120 sq feet of floor space; Galaxy have always had a full working model of their products on their booth. Mike Whincup (their design Director) explained “customers want to see what they are buying; you don’t walk in to a car dealer & see the engine stuck on top of a couple of wheels! I don’t quite understand companies who bring half a product & expect the customer get the full picture?” He went on to explain “customers want to see it, touch it and test it. This is why we always have full working systems in our booth. And this year was no exception; they had their best selling Regular Mechanical Bull system complete with the Old Glory flag themed inflatable.
They showcased two new themed rides this year; the Extreme Board Combo and Whirling Wizards, both of which were fully working and very impressive!
The Extreme Board Combo is based on the companies proven low profile motion base; it features three interchangeable extreme sports Surfing, Snowboarding & Skateboarding. The inflatable safety surround is themed in the style of a Half Pipe in a gray base color (very urban) they have cleverly incorporated strategically sewn Velcro strips that allow different colored theme vinyl sheets to be attached; a blue theme for the surf board & a white one for the snow board. To complete the options there are Velcro panels to the back & side walls to allow additional theming or advertising; each themed board can be interchanged in minutes. The Extreme Board Combo offers exceptional value for money! Galaxy America – The Rodeo Bull Company certainly understand their customer’s needs.
The new Whirling Wizards offers witches, spells & broomsticks! Hop aboard & have spellbinding ride. Galaxy America – The Rodeo Bull Company captured the magical moment with their new ride Whirling Wizards. As with all of the Galaxy’s products, Whirling Wizards can be bought as a full system complete with motion system & control console or as a ride attachment to use with a customers existing multi ride. In addition it can be used with the low profile motion base as would be used with a Surf Machine or with a mechanical bull motion base. Once again Galaxy capture the theme perfectly with the inflatable safety cushion designed as a Wizards castle!
Its not hard to see why the company is so popular. Their booth was always busy to the extent Robin Whincup (the company President) found himself with the opportunity to address 15 customers at once! When he had just a moment to take a break, Robin told me, “This is one of the best shows we’ve ever seen. We’ve had record breaking sales, not just with our standard rodeo bull ride but with the newer rides too. Sales has far exceeded our expectations!”
Looks like Galaxy America – The Rodeo Bull Company has found a great way to end 2010!

Home Based Business Opportunity – Selling Mechanical Bull Rides
Now there’s a thought…many of us spend a lot of time trying to think of the perfect business. But it takes a real entrepreneur to come up with the idea of selling mechanical bull rides! Although, if you have ever been to a party that offered a mechanical bull, (or mechanical bucking machine as it’s sometimes called) you can understand the excitement that’s generated by this fun attraction.
You can make money off your mechanical bull in two ways. One is by selling rides at fairs and festivals and the second is by renting your bull to events & parties at a set rate.
They are both good…and many rodeo bull operators actually do both!
A mechanical bull is a great business investment but you need to do some homework before purchasing a mechanical bull.
- Although you might think that you should get the same bucking machine the rodeo champions use, that’s not always the case. If you’re renting a bull in the retail market, the safety features are the most important part of any purchase decision you make. An amateur bull rider needs their ride to be a lot safer than a rodeo cowboy. Do some homework to see what safety features are offered by different manufacturers.
- The older mechanical bulls were hydraulic…and are harder to operate. They’re also much harder to insure. When choosing between electric and hydraulic systems, choosing electric is a no brainer. They’re safer, easier to operate and if you choose the new multi-ride systems you can find a huge number of attachments that can change your bull to any number of themed rides.
- You want to make sure there is a safety stop on your bucking machine. When the rider falls off, the mechanical bull will automatically stop. Also, although it’s quite rare for someone to flip over the head of the bull, you’ll want a bull with a soft head. This avoids a lot of possible injuries….especially if you have younger players riding your bull.
- An inflatable safety arena is an absolute must! And it needs to be big enough that the rider won’t be flipped over the edge of the unit. Also, some insurance companies require a specific inflatable size so make sure the manufacturer you choose has an inflatable base that is as large as the insurance requires.
- If you’re wondering where to buy mechanical bull, you’ll find there are a lot of companies that make them. You’re going to want to find one that has been in business a long time, offers all the important safety features, keeps parts stocked locally, is permitted to sell into your state and is approved by the mechanical bull insurance companies.
- Keep in mind that cheapest is NOT always the best. If you’re going to sell mechanical bull rides, you want a product that is consistent in its operation and that won’t let you down on a busy day.
Consider these points as you’re shopping and you’ll easily see where to buy one that best fits your needs. And you’ll LOVE your new mechanical bull riding business business!
The Rodeo Bull Company is the manufacturer of the original Galaxy Multi-ride. Make sure to visit them for all the help you need to Sell Mechanical Bull Rides. Their variety of New & Used Mechanical Bulls will make it easy for you to find the perfect rodeo bull for your business.
