Photo TR: FunWorld Portable "Fun Park"

Postby andyuk200523 » Sun May 23, 2010 8:34 am

Well down here in the depths of East Anglia it is extremely rare to get any sort of quality when it comes to fairs......this year however, we have now had 2 in our humble little town in the space of 3 months!

Some top quality rides were running at FunWorld, most notably some crazy death machines by KMG.....they really know how to spin you in crazy stupid ways!!! And what was this........A COASTER! This was my first credit ever in my home town, I was a happy person!!!!

I was then even happier when asked to put up posters at work to advertise it and was given some free tickets.......They were only for a standard wristband however, but it was only £3 to upgrade to a premium wristband.....I'm happy with that!

Anyways, on with the photos........

Very reasonable pricing....although it you want to ride pretty much anything you have to get the premium band, not the normal band.

I was then greeted by Tango....A KMG...well Tango! This is kind of the love child between a Mondial Top Scan and Mmmmmm, the devil! You are in a stand up position with a bike seat inbetween your legs, certain reminds you which gender you are!

The operators weren't however running it in crazy 5-10 minute ride mode, which was a relief for someone who isn't addicted to spinning thrill rides!

so certain wristbands mean you can only ride certain rides. Usually that means you can ride unlimited rides.

Yeah, Unlimited riding, was included, but if you only had a standard wristband, you couldn't ride any of the "major" rides, only the family ones, you had to have a premium one in order to ride everything, although for £7.99 it was a great deal!
