I have to say yeah their fun, but as I got older, the only thing I could think of was wow, those things are death traps. The people that handle them most of them didn't finish high school, and second you can put them up in a day that should tell you something. But that's just my own option.

Actually you've got a point there.

There's this program on TV here in NZ called Target - and basically they do hidden camera trials and evaluation on companies. So for example, they might get some people from a so called "Professional" building company to go work on a house, and see if it were up to standard. And god it's amazing how poor the work is...

You guys/girls know how to take the fun right out of it, don't you?

[tail_gunner]

I was on this one ride at the fair last year it had four apples on it and you where spinning in circles, and then you have this thing inside the ride to turn your little area wow... you get a little tipsy and go in that...

TBH I actually haven't been on anything like a rollercoaster before lol. I can imagine it's very scary and amazing/fun at the same time lol.

J-Factor, have you ever drawn pics of your dream carnival before? Just curious.
