Mini Photo TR: Parking Lot Fairground

[Shockwave]

First - sorry about the rubbish quality of the pictures, they were taken from my phone.

 

OK, so I arrived in Manchester for a night, when I spotted a few rides in a car park next to the club! Kinda random, as it wasn't there 36 hours ago.

 

I had a wonder, didn't go on any rides, but took a few photos of what was there.

And look who I found! Hope you enjoyed this little bit of light relief.

OK, enough of the parking lot - time for the club!

The Topspin wasn't working today.

Ooh, a crazy flipping ferris wheel thing! Which I skipped.

It's a Skyflyer!

Aww, even a ride for the kids! Yes, there are a few out even at midnight on Friday.

Dunno what this ride is called. Like a Magic Carpet but you face sideways.

...which looks a lot better when it's working!

They had a Round-up...

It looks a bit crappy from here. Still, better go take a look, just for a laugh!

Just pulled up outside the club. WTF is all this?

^ I'm like constantly jealous of Polly's hair. Damn my curls!

Tresemme/GHD straightners Lou. Sort out the curls!

 

I might have to pop-up and take a look sometime at the fair. If it's still there.

That is an Eyerly Rock-o-Plane. I rode one of those 1 1/2 years ago. Its really uncomfortable for your neck and back, but its awesome at the same time. It produces some serious hangtime aswell as good positive G-forces.

I've seen many of these. They're actually pretty fun if they're full size carnivals. But if they have like three rides, no point wasting your money.

It's a Miami Or a Trip, as it is called over here
