Strawberry Festival Photo TR


Recommended Posts

I decided to go to the Strawberry Festival tonight and get some pics. This is a year event held by the local Kiwanis group. Usually it is held at the Kirtland High School but since the High School is more or less getting made over they held it in the parking lot of Lakeland Community College. Enough with the jibba-jabba on with the pics.

First night I was walking around checking things out when this guy approached me. I thought he wanted to beat me up but he just wanted me to play a crappy carnie game. He was wearing sunglasses at the time.

Has this ride stopped? I admit it would be funnier if the cars were aligators and not root beer barrels.

I was actually planning on attending but some personal stuff came up . Looks pretty good this year. That ship slide is a Titanic slide and I guess it's supposed to simulate what it was like to slide down the Titanic to an icy death.

^^^^^ Pretty ghetto fair eh? Doesnt look like they had any ride newer than 1985.

 

As for the Gravitron. They are ok. When I was a kid, I was always drawn to figure out exactly what happened inside there. Its kinda mysterious...all you know is that it spins and there's some funky lightshow going on in there. Then one night with my cousins along, I finally summoned the courage to ride.

 

Basically you lean against this pad thats attached to the wall with rollers. As it spins the forces pin you to the pad causing it to rise up the wall. The operator sits in the middle and can accelerate/decelerate the ride so you go up and down the wall. The sensation is similar to a Round-Up except the forces seem to be much greater and if you are brave (and the operator allows) you can "hang" upside down or lay sideways. The coolest part is that you really have no frame of reference to the outside, especially at night, as you can't really tell you are spinning.

 

I used to ride these things everytime I saw them at a fair, but nowadays things like that just give me a headache.
