GAME: Finding the Similarities

**Bump**. Hope I didn't kill the game?! -
I wanted to start this thread for a while. After consulting with a moderator, he encouraged me to do it. So here it is. I don't know how many of you are fans of carnivals and fairs, so this should be interesting. I'll get the ball rolling with this little news tidbit: Wade Shows adds new rides for 2015 Wade Shows announced the addition of four new rides for 2015. The show purchased a new Monster Truck kiddie ride from Wisdom as well as a Gravitron themed "Centrifuge". Additionally, the show has added a Quasar themed "Music Express" from ARM and a Zamperla Barnyard themed "Beach Shack". All four pieces are set to debut at the South Florida Fair this January and will also be featured at the Florida State Fair in Tampa. The show will also be leasing (with an option to buy) ARM's new Frenzy Ride for both events. Company owner Frank Zaitshik said "There are several other purchases pending including several more children's rides, other spectacular rides, and support equipment such as trucks and generators". UPDATED 11/10/14 - Company owner, Frank Zaitshik announced over the weekend that the show also purchased four new Umbrella Rides from Dalton Kid Rides. The four kiddie rides will rack on two trailers for easy transport and to help consolidate loads. The show traded in their trailer mounted Hampton Whales and Hampton Dune Buggies. Source: Matt's Carnival Warehouse Adding 10+ rides is substantial for any operation. Wade Shows however has the route to justify this type of investment. They service nearly 100 events annually, including New York, Nebraska, and Missouri State Fairs which all happen concurrently. Have you ever seen Wade Shows in person? If so, what did you think?

Both have had loopers by Sir Anton. BGW and Toyko SummerLand -
Yes. Did you attend a county or state fair this year?

True, but only when they're mine. Downside: they tend to bring all the boys to the yard. The person below me has ridden Lightning Run.

GAME: Finding the Similarities

They both feature animal exhibits and rides. Glad you pointed that out. I'm curious if you weren't looking for problems being solved with more in depth answers than some. The similarities between two parks may be more than that they both have wooden coasters. -
Then I call it Cedarwood. What if Leviathan was really meant for Knotts? Think they would have called it Gold Bullet?

No. Do you know what a zamboni is?

Granted: but no new RMC's get built. I wish Cedar Point would build a parking ramp to allow for park expansion. -
6Plus here. The only thing I don't like is the change in the location of the close button. I'm still not used to that and I often end up changing the volume while pressing it. I have the regular 6 and I'm the same way. Biggest operational adjustment right there. Is anybody using the reach ability feature consistently? Also, I upgraded from an iphone5. I LOVE touch ID.

False. 26.43, I think The person below me expects CP to break 500ft, some day.
