CardCraze Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 My first Photo TR, hope it's decent or at least OKAy. Hope you guys can help me improve for the future . Visited the Chesapeake Jubilee AKA: Ghetto Fair yesterday. Nealry died, but more on that later. It was fun, there were three credits... but I only got one of them because it was incredibly busy. One of the game hecklers... excuse me "vendors" caused some tension, and pretty much was the only bad part of the day. One of our group members, my friend, had decided to play the "Goldfish Game" and I asked "If we win, can you watch the goldfish until the end of the day?" He pointed me to the sign saying "We babysit goldfish!" which I had not noticed. Then he took it a step further to say "What you didn't see that? Do you wear a helmet on Sundays little guy? First time out by yourself? Be careful... don't trip over an invisible rock." So needless to say we alerted the staff running the fair, but since it was a Ghetto Fair, nobody cared. But what better way to spend a Saturday than with potentially dangerous food and rides? The TR: The first stop: to see the concerts. Unfortunatley, the band playing at this time was AWFUL! The only credit for me . That's okay though, this one was scary enough. NOTE: there are no brakes on this ride at the station, the ride op simply grabs the car and pushes it. Oh wow, this coaster is called "Avalanche"... how creative. Oh my gosh! A Mardi Gras funhouse/mirror maze! You only see these at like every traveling Ghetto Fair! A lame attempt at a scary "dark ride". All future carnies note: A black canvas room, with sounds and noises such as a police siren is not the least bit scary. The Crazy Mouse spinning coaster, which sported a 2 hour wait all day. When it's 90 degrees outside, staning 2 hours for a generic spinning mouse coaster isn't exactly "fun". A ferris wheel, which also sported really long waits all day long. The midway with the "Ring of Fire" ride I nearly died on. You see, they had put the restraints down. They then started up the ride. The next thing I know one ride op is yelling "STOP! STOP THE RIDE!" In true ghetto fair fashion, they had put the restraints down... then forgot to lock them... all of them. "Willy the Bull" who had perhaps the MOST annoying broadcaster. I don't even think he was using real words half the time. The world's longest "Tilt-A-Whirl" ride. This ride literally lasted like 3-4 minutes. Oh my gosh, could it be?! ZOMG it is! A Wacky Worm! However, I will not reduce myself to some shameless padding of my credit count... (because I wasn't allowed...) What is this!? Quick! Somebody alert Disney's team of lawyers! Safe for Kids? This thing isn't safe for anybody pure and innocent, let alone kids! And finally, the Jubilee illuminated in the distance. Hope you enjoyed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathbydinn Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Geez, why is it that every ghetto fair can get a Pinfari and Wild Mouse, yet the Wi State Fair only gets an Orient Express and if were lucky a wacky worm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
