bgwfreak Posted September 10, 2006 Posted September 10, 2006 Last night I hit the Cabarrus (pronounced ca-BEAR-us) County Fair. Cabarrus County is one county north of Charlotte. Unfortuantley Charlotte hasn't had a county fair in years. On to the fair... Here's a link to the full size versions and even more pics I took. http://thumb3.webshots.net/t/57/557/0/90/31/2274090310054618143aUyaEF_th.jpg Ok I actually did NOT ride this one. After my one and only ride on one of these where I felt like I'd fall out I swore them off. I'm not willing to die so I can get a credit. Wait... Quadzilla that actually works? LOL The one at Pedroland sure doesn't. Not sure exactly what this was. It reminded me of a Zamperla kite flyer. Woohoo! It's one of those crazy tilty ones! This thing was so much fun. It flipped 5 times straight, then tilted slowly flipped 5 times then went back straight and flipped 5 times again! Great program. James might have even liked it! I love top spins and thought this was just a normal one until... Hmmm...which way did my husband go? These were the haunted mansion cars. Notice the Tampa Bay Bucs theming. Notice Gollum on the ride... I'll get you my precious!!! By far the worst haunted house I've been on. It was down-right boring. Drop Tower! Yes! This was a fun little drop tower. Course I haven't been on one yet that I disliked. I had never seen one of these before. It looked pretty fun, but I was ready for the bigger flats... Cha Ching!!! Yes I did get the credit. My 3rd Wacky Worm credit. Woo hoo! Is that the Two Towers from Lord of the Rings? I think I saw Gollum go by. Hmmm...which way is the Midway? Wait...am I at Six Flags? Oh, it's just the line to get a ticket. Here's the view from the road/parking lot. Hmmm...I see lots of flats but no coasters. Oh joy. Traffic. I had to sit in traffic for about a mile just to get in the place. Grrrrrr! I'm the angry cotton candy!!! Another shot of the Wave Swinger. You're welcome German-speaking barrell! It was ok. It had like fake floors and stuff that would fall and stuff you had to walk over and such. This funhouse must have started life in Germany. Tom...care to translate? When I think of authentic Cheesesteaks I think of a NC Fair! I think I dated her one time. And finally...sorry Elissa I looked all over the place for some rodents but coudln't find any. I guess you'll have to settle for Rodney and Robb. I don't want to even think about where this has been. Grrrr...I'm the Claw! Gimme some people to eat!
robbalvey Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 ^ How is it TPR's fault for your photos being out of order? Seriously. How can it be the sites's fault? The direction under the "add photo or attachement" state: Attach the photos in the order you want them to appear. The "site" doesn't just randomly decide to shuffle for your photos around or post them twice. YOU decide what order they are presented and what photos appear in your TR. And how is it that it "won't let you delete them?" You can also go in and edit the photos or delete the duplicates. That's why the "edit" button should appear when you view your own posts. Oh, heck, nevermind...I'll do it for you! The site has nothing to do with it. --Robb
ParkTrips Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 OK how bad is traffic to get into the place? I have nothing to do Friday night, but if it becomes a pain in the ass I would almost rather just skip it than wait in traffic for an hour. We're talking the Concord Mills area, right? Like, home of a Jeepers? Nice photos, nighttime fair photos are usually fun. Your PTR lacked mullets though - Joe
bgwfreak Posted September 11, 2006 Author Posted September 11, 2006 I did see a few mullets. It wasn't too bad getting in. I'd say about 15 minutes of traffic. And yeah it's North of the Speedway and Concord Mills. Easiest way is I-485 to Hwy 49 North and after you pass Hwy 601 it's 3 miles on the left. ^ How is it TPR's fault for your photos being out of order? Seriously. How can it be the sites's fault?

Actually I did try to delete the duplicates, but the site wouldn't let me. It would delete a pic before or after it and then make a duplicate again of the one I was trying to delete. Weird I know.
bgwfreak Posted September 11, 2006 Author Posted September 11, 2006 Sorry for the double-post. I've fixed what was messed up last night. I added about 6 to the bottom that got deleted somehow in the mess. Enjoy!
