However, the thing is that all those carnivals have a lot more than one unit out at a time for the most part. NAME might have 4 units in IL, or WI out. Even so though I rather see Astro get rid of that Orbiter, and get this Remix instead. In my opinion, I just don't like that Orbiter. It's not the speed, but I think it's the tilting. They had a great tilting Orbiter, and than something happened to it, so they got this one, and I just don't care for it like the old one.

For Spectacular, the Music Fest to me is the thrilling ride. To me, they need something else. To me, it's not to say that the Cliffhanger, Tilt-A-Whirl, and Bumper Cars aren't fun, but to me that Super Shot ride isn't cutting it. At night (which is the more thrills crowd), the Music Fest was packed, but the Super Shot or whatever they call it, was empty. The problem is that they just bought the Super Shot, and you need to get some money from it before it's viable to sell it.

With carnivals, you have to play both sides. You have a lot more kids during the day, and at night, you have a lot more teens that want more thrilling rides. The thing is during the day is let's say your carnival opens at 1 pm - 6 pm, and than you get the night teens from 6 pm - 11 pm. For each, it's 5 hours. On Sunday, you get 1 less hour for the teens because they usually close at 10 pm. However, for the Thursday night and Friday night (It's not open during the day.), it should be more teens that would go on the rides, so than you think there would be a little more teenage rides than gentle rides.

Cool looking ride. You're right Pat, everyone around here seems to have the same equipment, for the most part. There are alot of rides that could be on the midways, but arent. It seemed like shows were a little more original in the 70's & 80's. Every show was different. You defitnatley knew who was in town when you saw the line up. It's not like that now.
