WCA History
Who We Are
West Coast Amusements is a Canadian company with offices and Winter
Quarters in Langley, British Columbia, Canada. Company Presidents Bingo and
Jackie Hauser have lived in Langley, BC for over 50 years.
What We Do
We specialize in supplying amusement equipment to provide safe, clean, family
fun at a wide variety of fairs, exhibitions, rodeos, special events and other
promotional activities.
We employ approximately 350 people every year and have four
individual units that travel all over Western Canada and Washington State.
How We Started
West Coast Amusements was founded in 1962 by our current President, "Bingo"
Hauser, who has been in show business since the mid forties. Raised and educated
in Brandon, Manitoba, Bingo started traveling with carnivals at a very early age
and became well versed in the business by operating a number of rides and
concessions.
When he first went out on his own Bingo started an animal
show, which is where the Lion in the WCA logo comes from. Bingo eventually sold
the animals to zoos, bought a Merry Go Round and gradually built West Coast
Amusements into the major Midway operation it is today.
Where We Are Today
Robert and Wendy Hauser, son and daughter-in-law of Bingo and Jackie
Hauser, have created their own Unit and Business which is exclusive to West
Coast Amusements' operations and fair runs. Bob and Wendy have built an
efficient, clean and safe show bringing many new innovations to the traveling
amusement industry. Bob manages all operations while Wendy manages the show
office.
Stephanie and Rino Buttazzoni, daughter and son-in-law of Bob and Wendy Hauser, also play a role in West Coast Amusements' midway operations. Rino is a fully certified Heavy Duty Mechanic and Stephanie owns and operates two Cotton Candy trailers, a Pizza trailer and Slushie stands.
Robbie Jr., son of Bob and Wendy Hauser, travels on Grandma Jackie's Unit. Robbie owns his own Concession Business and has started purchasing rides as well as operating ten game concessions and managing the entire show.
Jaclyn and Darcy Benson, daughter and son-in-law of Bob and Wendy Hauser, travel on their parents' Unit. Jaclyn helps her mom in the office and manages a Game while Darcy is a forman of two Rides and is learning how to run the operation from his father-in-law Bob.
