| | For a moment there I almost said "that's a very European funfair you have", and then realised you're not American. 
Cool photos. The Flipper is a terrific ride.

| | | We just had a fair, had at least 30 rides, from everything to a Spinning Wild Mouse to the Zipper to the KMG swinging frisbee thingy...
What does the Flipper do? Does it actually flip? It doesn't look like it... |

| | | I love how, in the finished Flipper photo, the only barrier between people and the ride is a couple, short fences, and then huge gaps. You'd never see that in the States. Reminds me of how our Orbiters have no restraints.

| | | The flipper looks an awful lot like the breakdance to me,my guess is that the ride somewho raises up in the air kinda like an enterprise or chaos & then begins rotating.
I'm impressed with the theming package that they used on the finished ride,man if only carnivals in the states would go to those extrrodinary lengths to theme their rides even if they're only up for a week or two of operation. |

| | | Looks nice, how long do these fairs go on for? The carnivals and fairs that I go to stay around for aboubt a week or two. Some of the rides that I go on are sometimes very badly maintained and look dangerous.

| | hey thanks.
-Looks nice, how long do these fairs go on for?
They stay from 3 days up to 30 days.
-i just noticed something, why are carnival rides sooooo colorful?
hm, i dont know. Its because these rides are non park-rides. And everybody wants to have the best Design.
