GriffyTiffy Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 This weekend I am going on many small, local, theme park related adventures. Today I went to downtown Plainfield, IL to see construction of Springfest, our annual carnival! The Ring of Fire, just pulling up to the midway! The Fun House The Tornado The Tilt-A-Whirl coming of of the truck! What is that, in the distance? "The Orbiter"? This is new to SpringFest! You are all witnessing history in the making, folks! More of the Orbiter. The Kiddie Midway. GRRRR I'm an EVIL Candy Truck. Gimmie some candy! One of the best rides at the fair year after year, the Dizzy Dragons! Funnel Cakes!!! Spider Mania. Dragon Wagon!!!! More credit whore goodness! As I was leaving, my other favorite ride pulled up! The Gravitron! Thanks for reading! Operating fair photos either tomorrow of Saturday!

Crazy_Behemoth_Lady_Jess Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Ah, the Dizzy Dragons... Brings me back memories of when I was really little at my local fair. I always got put into a dragon with a bunch of "big kids" who kept spinning it so hard that I have actually thrown up afterwards. I've never seen a Ring of Fire train upclose before. Can you try to take an upclose picture of the inside and outside of the train? ~ Jess "Dizzy Dragons make me sick" Chan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alomar Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Always been a fan for some reason of pictures of carnivals being set up. Years of watching the local carnival set up couldnt be part of that could it? haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkMeasures Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Ohh. I used to live in Naperville. It borders Painsfield. I remember that tornado that leveled that town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDCOASTERFAN Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 You haven't lived your life until you ride Orbiter! My experience was crazy. Holding on for dear life! I've ridden both a carnie version & BGE's with pretty much the same experience of nearly losing my lunch.Looks like the same company that did the carnival just up the road from me a week or two ago as they bought along the same flats....then again the ROF we had was blue,not black.

GriffyTiffy Posted May 16, 2009 Author Share Posted May 16, 2009 I just got back from the fair and it was very fun. It is always nice to have rides so close to my house! The Orbiter, or only the most insane ride ever created in the history of anything! The Ring of Fire, I took a pass on this today. More of the Ring of Fire The Gravitron was closed when I got there, but it opened later. Not as good as it usually is. Tilt-A-Whirl Me on the ride. I spun around so fast, and I was the only person riding! Nearing the end of the almost five minute cycle. Gravitron The Orbiter The Dragon Wagon-IN ACTION! First Drop OMG AMAZING AIRTIMEZ!!!!!!!111 Spider Mania Dragon Wagon and his next set of victims. Dizzy Dragons Games Merry-Go-Round Mini Jets The Hampton Combos. (?WTF?) Home of the Pork Chop on a Stick (More on that later) Wave of Fire (Ring of Fire's long lost brother?) Rock Wall Midway Awesome Penguins! Ring of Fire again And now, our main event of the afternoon. In one corner, Pork Chop on a Stick! And in the next corner, Griffin "The Vortex" Eldred w/Sprite Fight! What a maneuver! What a showoff! IT'S ALL OVER!!! NEW CHAMPION! Okay, so that's it for the fair for now. Tonight I will have night photos of the rides and my trip to Elite Pro Wrestling! Tomorrow I'll have SFGAM Photos! Thanks for reading!
