PTR: Cleveland County Fair 2009

Hello again, I live about 1.5 hours away from Shelby, NC and had never driven over for their annual fair so I decided to finally check it out.

For a county fair it was ok, but nothing that great as far as rides. Going on a Thursday night, I thought it wouldn't be that crowded, but boy was I wrong.


Welcome to the fair! This is apparently their 85th year too! I'd love to see some of the rides that have run here the last 85 years.


Hmmm..what be this?


It's been to West Virginia, so it must be a....


coaster of course! What? You thought I was going to do a WV joke? Never would I do such a thing!


Coaster, Racing Coaster. That's my name.


Can I get a large pizza delivered to the fair, in front of the Racing coaster?


Clowns, Why did it have to be clowns?


They had an older style wheel, but it wasn't working.


Rip off games of course were present.


Ah, so this is where Dr. Evil hid the mojo.


Pharaoh looks like he could use some mojo. Looks a bit effeminate to me.


Super Cat! Away!


I'm confused. Is Super Cat a worm by day, Cat by night?


As I was riding solo, I still didn't have to ride the death trap.


Speaking of traps. What a joke of a ride. Looks like a haunted house, but it's one long room with switch backs and mouse trap sounds. LAME!


That's about how I looked when I got out of the ride.


I will name him Mini Mouse!!!


This evil looking contraption looks like it would make me barf in no time flat. Skipped.


I don't think Spidey would like being called a tramp.


Bear affair? What, does it try to have sex with you while you ride?


Something ain't right about this drop tower.


Not much of a whore anymore. Skipped.


You thought I was joking about it being crowded didn't you?


Up they go!


Hey I can go up too!


This is how close I could get to Racing Coaster. Better not tell any kids that go to Six Flags Over Georgia.


Ah, the sign of quality.


Freak Out was freakishly short.


Bill would not approve.


Yeah, can I get a footlong with extra cheese? What do you mean this isn't Firehouse Subs?


Apparently someone needs to explain the meaning of "Self-Serve" to these people. Self-serve means that you go up and buy the tickets and get them yourself. Not from someone sitting in a booth!

And that's about it. The video will come soon, but I've got a busy weekend ahead of me and I'll get to it soon enough.

Thanks for reading.

I had a similiar "Racing" coaster credit at Coney Island with their plop down fair near Astroland in 2008.
