Marc Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 Well heres a place to discuss the wonderful fairs we have!Earlier this evening was at a fair, didnt have that much but 2 rides stood out, firstly the orbiter was a totally amazing very fun and very forcfull! But secondly a Fabbri Top Spin, I thought this totaly amazing, especially compared to ripsaw/ramesis! Whist the fabbri one is smaller it is alot more comfortable and intense, I can honestly say for 99% of the ride I was not touching the seat, totally awesome!

iCharlie Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 fairs to me always seem so.. unsafe, mind you - that all adds to the thrill [: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted August 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 Just gota remember fairs go through exactly the same checks as rides at any uk theme park do, if not more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cringle Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 I have to admit - I'm not a big fan of fairs. I mean, I'll go to one if theres one local or if ive been invited but I'm not gunna run around britain just to pay a tenner to ride some thrill macheine which I probably wont even enjoy.I love thrill rides but fairs not always heighten the sense of adventure and what not. I'm sleepy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark9 Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 UK fairs annoy me. 5 pound for a booster?! Thats to much for a ride that does very little exciting. German Fairs are amazing though. 4 Euros for 4 people to ride Breakdance No.1 the most amazing flat ride ever. The lights, the misters the strobes. Simply spellbinding.I Capirola is the most intense ride ever and I say if you see one anyhere.. RIDE IT. It had my screaming expletives and holding on for dear life. Its worse then it looks.

Hazzer Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 I worked at my local fair on the Enterprise and the booster needs it to be £5 for reasons.. as in looking after it etc ... and sometimes if the ride looks boring ask the operator for a long intense rides like I do and most will do it for you, I normaly get 10min rides when I ask :Pand yesthe ONLY uk traveling Enterprise went to my crap local fair as the Booster & Enterprise are owned by brothers ....

Dan_Rush Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 I've also been 1 that have never trusted fairs, although saying that I have been to Southsea, Hailing island and Haystings fair.They are fun (I love Enterprise) and the Waltza. At the southsea fair there's a ride that makes you feel like you are dancing (it's so cool!) and named the Disco:DI also like the twisters, although last time I went to get on 1 the wheel fell off the ride and it put me off!

James Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 Ahh Clarence Pier fair is the one in Southsea. That was gooood! Operator with a water gun on the Twister was megalolz.Best fair I've ever been to was easily Hyde Park 2006. KMG Booster, KMG Afterburner, KMG Move-It, and Extreme, plus Wild Mouse and a whole tonne of stuff. Was awesome and mega cheap.Wembley, Barham Park 2007 was good too.

Whiteknuckle Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 I live near Clarence Pier and Hayling Island, and prefer Hayling by a long way. It just seems a lot more friendly, and me and my Mum are good friends with the owners, and the rides are better, in my opinion.Best fair I have been to is the Fair du Tronne in Paris, exhilerating rides galore, with a 10 minute cycle on a KMG Afterburner, and with some fantasic coasters.

Mark9 Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 Breakdance Number 1If you ever get the chance to ride this.. do it. Gives many UK rides a run for their money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The disco, The Twister, some stupid um... skyway is it?, Wild River, bumber cars and a Waltza.All that remains from that list at Hailing are the Waltza (not as good). The Twister (not as good) the River ride... and that's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 I quite like Funderworld when it comes to Bournemouth! Space Roller is worth the entrance fee alone!Dan_Rush: I think you would kinda like Paultons then because as far as I'm aware the "Wild River" is a Reverchon travelling log flume which Paultons has. They are getting a Disko Coaster next year! (one with the air time hill in the middle). They also have Go Karts and a few other attractions that you would probably enjoy!

AeRo Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Rich, I went to Funderworld in Cardiff 2 years ago and I agree £15 for a whole day of Big Ben and Space Roller is probably the bargain of the decade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubbly Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Has anybody ever been to Rhyl Fun Fair (now closed down) and ridden on the Pepsi Cola Loop? It's moved to Ffrith Beach Fun Parc now but it was the first looping rollercoaster (if not the first ever rollercoaster) I went on:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
