Scenes include a designer working at a drafting table; metalsmiths milling parts in a machine shop; mechanics welding and bolting parts together and applying belts; rides being transported, assembled and disassembled on site; rides being tested on site; and a demonstration of the safety features available to riders. A ferris wheel and a Rock-O-Plane are the two rides featured most prominently.
