These little carnivals are a ton of fun. We had one come through Hampton, VA for the Memorial Day weekend. It was a blast! Those little creepy, mobile coasters scare me more than any 300 footer ever could. You REALLY feel like you're going to die on those little things.

Why do I still have a donkey title???

And that is my problem! But in general spinny rides are easily my least favorite of the "interactive" flats.

Thanks for the comments everyone!

I wish we actually had good ghetto fairs here... the ones we have 6 rides and cost 30 bucks.

That Kamikazee is EVIL! I rode one at the state fair with a friend and I don't think either of us will ever ride one again! :p

Nice TR. I also love these little city fairs.

Also, I don't think those Tornado rides are boring. I can get them spinning really fast to the point where I get disoriented, which almost never happens. I love disorienting rides.

Also(part 2), Orbiters kick @$$!

Awesome TR, Laura-

What's scary is this:

A -portable- carnival STILL has more rides than we do here in ALL of Arizona. What's WRONG with this picture???

^^That is a shame! Do you at least get to see the Hi Miler on occasion? I haven't seen any carny coaster in Oregon bigger than the Tiger Express, sadly.

I've grown to really like Kamikazes and other rides with lots of hangtime, like the Fireball/Super Loops. Plus, there are decent views despite the cage. I need to check out the Orbiter next time I see it, as I love them!
