Photo TR: The Great European Carnival (1/9/2016)

[The Angry Darren Mullins]

January 1, 2015: The Great European Carnival is in HK. Only four rides (out of about 30) are open. What is so great about it?

 

Late January 2015: My second visit to the carnival results in me being denied a ride on the coaster as the c---f----- at the entrance was a c---f-----. Most of the rides still are not open.

 

January 9, 2016: I am in Hong Kong again and the carnival has returned. I walk over to see if the rides are open. Most of them are. I decide to go in. I first get on the wacky worm, which is called Roller Coaster. The c---f------ was not there today, so I got to ride. They give four circuits per ride. It is also a very smooth ride. After Roller Coaster, I walk over to Euro Coaster. This is a Zyclon coaster. It is very smooth. It is like the Pepsi Python at Coney Island in Cincinnati.

 

Rides here are on a pay as you go basis. Many rides cost 5 or 6 tokens. The rides appear to be much cheaper than last year. Maybe the rides were so expensive last year because many of them did not open until late in the carnival. I wished that they would have brought a scrambler and that would have completed the ride lineup. The carnival is in Hong Kong until mid-late February. Check it out if you visit the city. It is much better than the crap they did last year.

Despite a shitty 2014/2015 carnival where most of the rides opened late, I decided to tempt the hand of fate again this year.

This flume right inside the gate. It is actually open.

This swing ride was not here last year.

It is nice to see a pirate ship here.

The fun house looks cool.

I got to ride this wacky worm today. It is called Roller Coaster. The young HK Chinese girl wouldn't let me ride it last year because she was a C$@#.

The carnival brought in a bigger coaster this year.

It is nice to see one of these after so many jungle mice.

Here we go up the lift.....

Here is an on ride shot to finish off the TR.
