Carnival is in town

Featured Replies

Is it true that carnival folk keep their food in a bucket that has the word "vomit" written on it so nobody steals it? :o :D

 

So, what's your favorite carny ride?

 

I like the viking boat thing that swings back and forth. good times.

The Gravitron!

Top Notch! :headbang I remember riding that a loooong time ago. I think it spun around really fast and then the floor lowered?

Carnies make me nervous...small hands...smell like cabage!!

The best part of a carnival is the food.

 

I think they have deep fried candy bars now. Snickers, Milkey Way, with a dusting of powder sugar. Deadly.

:drools Sounds good, but I love my corn on the cob, brats, and foods on a stick.

 

BTW eye... today is a Mike's day :)

Carnivals suck.

 

Having motino sickness doesn't help my opinion :P

Not to mention, if you've ever spoken to the employees or looked closely at all the nuts and bolts holding the rides together, it's not exactly a 'tip top' operation.

^^^^

My favorite ride is the ferris wheel (also the only carnival ride I can go on without being seriously ill).

 

I do love wooden rollercoasters though, and the giant drop at Great America. As long as it doesnt' go in circles or upside down I'll love it.

I love roller coasters, but get seriously ill even at the thought of going on the rides that go round and round and round :puke
