In today’s training, we will discuss the process of taking down an arena and bunkers at a fair. The first step is to ensure that the bunkers fall towards the hole as they are being deflated. The crew will remove the bunkers from the arena and place them on the ground, making sure the cap is laid down next to it or inside the flap.

The bunkers are secured with stakes on the front and back sides. The deflation process requires some time, but the crew helps by making sure that the air is forced out of the bunkers. It is important to ensure that all holes are covered before proceeding.

To bring down the arena, a three-guy technique is usually used, but it can also be done with one or two people. The team starts by pulling down the straps, loosening them to allow the arena to come down smoothly. The outer straps are then taken down, following the same process.

Depending on the air level, the arena may already start folding inwards. Cones are placed on top of the air valves to prevent rain from entering while allowing air to escape. Once the arena is down, the crew ensures that all stakes are intact and that it falls inward or downward, never outward.

The entire process of taking down the arena and bunkers typically takes about seven minutes. The next video will cover how to set up the arena. Thank you for watching!

Taking Down an Arena and Bunkers at a Fair: An Entertaining Guide

Welcome to today’s training session where we will explore the exciting process of taking down an arena and bunkers at a fair. Whether you’re a crew member or simply curious about the behind-the-scenes operations, this informative guide will walk you through the necessary steps to ensure a smooth takedown. From deflating the bunkers to collapsing the arena, we’ve got you covered. So, let’s dive in and discover the secrets of this captivating process!

Deflating and Removing the Bunkers

The first crucial step in taking down the arena is to deflate and remove the bunkers. To ensure a controlled descent, it’s essential to make sure the bunkers fall towards the designated area or hole as they deflate. By carefully removing each bunker from the arena and placing it on the ground, the crew ensures that the cap is laid down next to it or inside the flap. This meticulous arrangement guarantees a smooth takedown process.

With the bunkers secured using stakes on the front and back sides, the crew initiates the deflation process. Proper deflation requires some time, but the crew aids the process by ensuring that all air is forced out of the bunkers. It is crucial to cover all holes before moving forward to maintain a controlled deflation.

Bringing Down the Arena

Now comes the exciting part, bringing down the arena! Typically, a three-guy technique is employed, but it can also be accomplished with one or two people. The team begins by pulling down the straps, gently loosening them to allow the arena to come down smoothly. Subsequently, the outer straps are gradually brought down using the same process.

Depending on the air level, the arena might already start folding inwards. To prevent rain from entering while allowing air to escape, cones are thoughtfully positioned on top of the air valves. This practical measure helps maintain the integrity of the arena throughout the takedown. As the arena collapses, the crew ensures that all stakes remain intact and that it falls inward or downward, avoiding any outward disturbances.

A Quick and Efficient Process

The entire process of taking down the arena and bunkers, though it may seem elaborate, typically takes about seven minutes. This efficient timeframe ensures minimal disruption to the fair and its attendees. By following the outlined steps and employing the necessary precautions, the crew successfully wraps up the disassembly, ready for the next event.

Thank you for joining us in this entertaining guide on taking down an arena and bunkers at a fair. We hope you found this information enlightening and enjoyable. Be sure to check out our next video, where we’ll cover the exciting process of setting up the arena. Until then, stay tuned and continue exploring the fascinating world behind the scenes of fair operations!
