Nice video with some neat rides! I remember a fair by me having the Skywalker (aka. Tango) once, but at the time I was too chicken to ride it. Then a year or so later the truck hauling the ride got into an accident and destroyed the ride.

Guess I should have ridden it while I could!

Haha, me and my friend went on one of those "Power Surge" rides and the kid sitting across from us looked like he was about to vomit.

I was very badly ill during and after a "techno jump" once, although the one i went on was called Bounce. I got very dizzy, blurred vision, then black outs. I felt nauscious for the rest of the day... :(

I got told it was due to me not eating and drinking enough...

^ Alton, that might actually be true. If I get on Raptor, or wicked twister (or just anything with a lot of twists) without eating or staying hydrated, I get a little sick, followed by headaches and such. I have to make sure I eat a fat bowl of chicken fingers first.

Hard Rock is my favorite ride, hands down. At the State Fair it's called X-Treme, and I'll spend at least $30 for that ride alone!

Ya gerst Xtreme is a blast to ride. I also really enjoy the techno jump. Other than those two, im not too keen on fair rides.
