fun fairs 2007-2009
back to basics
Every fair has at least one, no point in trying to escape the merry-go-round.
vertical rotation
Seats turn, thing turns, thing tilts 90 degrees. Then they were out of parts to turn and tilt, sadly.
horizontal rotation
Pretty much the same as the previous one, except there is no tilting going on. Another fun fair classic this one, though only seen on bigger fairs.
slingshot
Fun for 5 seconds, after that you're just bobbing in the air without too much control.
old and new
One of the oldest attractions united with one of the most recent ones. Both high rollers, but one is just a tad faster than the other.
fair skies
Looking up you can see the craziest things. There's a reason why some rides ask you to leave your shoes on the ground.
sunset
Right before the fun starts, becomes a fun fair really comes to life at night.
more rotating things
I actually tried this ride once, but it didn't really turned out too well. Guess I'm becoming too old for this stuff.
lights
When the lights come on, fun fairs are transformed into the reigning kings of kitsch.
fast rides
A welcome opportunity to take a pic. Fast ride with tons of lights on. And for once, it seemed as if they were actually aiming to create a coherent mood.
fast rides pt2
Side view from the same ride as before. Even though it looks pretty mean, once you're inside there isn't too much going on though.
mean tree
No fun fairs without haunted houses of horror. Though most of them are quite boring, and look more interesting from the outside than from inside.
linn in mirrors
First time I went into a mirror palace. Fun things, though after a while you learn how to spot the way. At least it made for a nice picture.
super giant wheel
What giant wheels should look like. Not these shabby contraptions that look as if they could fall apart at any time. This is much nicer.
