ECZenith Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 Hey there, As you know, fair season is upon us in New England with the Brockton Fair setting up their Reithoffer midway in a couple weeks. I'll be going Thursday, the 29th of June, I suggest going that night for the $14 wristband. Brockton Fair typically brings some spectacular flat rides like the KMG Tango, KMG Speed, Zamperla Power Surge, Drop Tower... and a Flitzer. I was wondering if anyone knew any other major fairs that might be worth checking out in the New England area besides this and the Big E in Springfield.
coastakid Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 The Danbury City Fair. it runs from now till' July 8. It has a Huss Topspin which flipped 24 times. No joke. Also a KMG Fireball and a Mack Music Express. Also a Thunderbolt ride similar to the Music Express but the cars swing. They also have a Remix, which is an orbitor ride without the floor. They have a Darton Cliff Hanger, like a flying Paratrooper, which is really fun. Also a Wave Swinger(which ran very fast and long i started to feel sick after about the 50th time around), and a Gigantic Ferris Wheel, as well as a large Bumper Car ride. I had a really good time and the only two rides that are $5 are Fireball ,Giant Wheel, and Toppsin, (which had very very long cycles). Wave Swinger was 4$ as well as Music Express, Thunder Bolt, Remix,and the Bumper Cars (which also ran long).The Cliff Hanger was 3$ and some of the smaller kiddie rides were 2$, and there were alot of them!
ECZenith Posted June 20, 2006 Author Posted June 20, 2006 ^ Sounds like Strates Shows, so cool they still have the Huss Top Spin! That's such a project to move around for a US flat ride.
Jon Sabo Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 OMG. I remember the Danbury fair when I was a kid. I lived near Clinton for many years and remember going to that fair was a 'big thing' back in the days. I remember getting lost their one year as a kid and the lost & found provided me with alot of food/drinks until I was reunited with my parents. I wonder what changes the fair has gone through over the years. But, wow, that brings back some memories..lol
