Honey and I just got back!
We went around 7:30 ish. We got in, bought some ride tickets, and started off with the Octopus. Then we went and played some games. Didn't win anything yet. Then we went on the Gravitron. Played more games. won nothing. Then went on the SkyMaster (never do this with flipflops and a skirt on)... then played more games. Won a plush fish, a plush seal, and a big, coily plush snake. We named him Slinky. Then we went on the Ferrish Wheel. And then we bought Cotton Candy and some mini-donuts that were made freshly before our eyes.

Does the fair ever come to a town near you? What's your fave ride? What games do you like? Do you go, even though you know you'll get scammed?
 
PS- I should add that this fair also had concerts, car shows, craft fairs, a petting zoo, and animal shows (horse, dog, etc.), but honey and I showed up just as all that closed down for the day.
 
I ALWAYS liked the "Tilt-A-Hurl...I mmean Whirl." Anything that was daring & made you sick to your stomach afterward, I LOVED!

Oh, a Gravitron? ;)

yeah! It was my first time on it! It was COOL!

And I'm afraid of heights, so the other rides were a test for me.. but they were fun!
 
Theres a fair in town all this weekend. My gravitron pic is from a couple days ago.

Tilt-o-Whirl here was called a Round-Up.
 
Unfortunetely, being only 4ft 11in, I couldn't go on most of the "death-defying" rides because of those damn signs that say, "Must be over, bla, blah, blah."

Hey, honey and I wanted to go on one where you had to be no taller than 4'5" to get on it. I WANTED TO GO ON IT, DAMNIT!
 
Hey your Gravitons look different to ours! Same concept, but ours are all enclosed.

We have a big exhibition here once a year...its huge but deadly expensive so I don't always go....not with two kids at over $10 a ride!
 
I think ours are only open on the tops, but Vixen rode it, she'd know more. ;)
 
i haven't been to the texas state fair in several years but i went to fiesta texas in san antonio last year with my baby girl (23) and we rode every single roller coaster in the park. 6 or 7 i think. i had never been on one that went inverted and it was just cooler than 45 little sumbitches.

At least I'm not alone! YAY!

lol

NEVER!!! :D


Seriously, though...that's always pissed me off. They think that adults have to have all these fancy dips and twirls to be happy, but we're just as easily entertained as the kids, damnit!
