Nothing too special for he list this year compared to other years... no new coasters- looks like the same as last year- the Van Hull Zyklon/Cyclone, Prime Time Amusement’s Dragon Nest (which was new last year), and Belle City’s Wacky Worm. AoA’s Crazy Mouse looks absent again.

Looks like Jurassic Extreme fun house isn’t returning- a shame as that one was awesome. No Big Bamboo either.

Space Roller and Magnum are returning, my 2 favorites. Space Roller is listed for sale, so I’m wondering if this is the last time I’ll be seeing my favorite ride at these fairs.

Also it looks like the dark ride Mystery Mansion won’t be returning. That one was interesting last year, with its track crossover.

Was also hoping the Magic Carpet Fun House would be back, it was there in 2018 only, it featured the dropping bench at the end which is a great feature.

Also looks like the Frisbee won’t be back either.

And no Moonraker, again :(
I'll probably just skip this year, sadly.

Moonraker was awesome. That one’s owned by Belle City, right? Have they been using it at any other spots?

[CanobieFan]

I don't think they've used it since it had the restraint uh oh

Visited the festival today on opening day. Was a chilly day! A few rides were not open today- Dragon Nest, Power Surge, Nitro, and Space Roller! Fair was not that crowded due to it being opening day on a weekday and the cooler weather (especially after the sun went down). Magnum was running short cycles but did get some good flips a few times. With Space Roller down, I went on Magnum a lot of extra times and also tried out a lot of other rides I usually don’t ride or haven’t ridden for several years, also helped that I ran into a friend who loves pretty much any flat (except Ring Of Fire), so single rider restrictions didn’t apply for us! Sky Wheel and Zipper are two of those- both were fun, Sky Wheel is an under appreciated ride in my opinion. Also tried the Hurricane flat for I believe the first time ever. It was fun! Mystery Mansion and Universal Horror we’re both back this year. The only fun houses were Wacky Shack, Mardi Gras, and Fun Zone (and Mario Land for kids). Neither Jurassic Escape nor Big Bamboo were unfortunately not at the fair this year. We also rode a merry go round which had a few rows of horses with just flat colors - guessing they didn’t finish painting them all in time this winter. I saw the Belmont Magic Show, which I believe they had last year also and was good.

All the workers were really friendly and we had a great time despite Space Roller being down and it being cold. Will be going back next week and will probably try watching the Trampoline show, and hopefully Space Roller be open then!

Visited again yesterday. All rides were running except Spin a Tron (Spin Out). I did notice Space Roller now has a new sign in the operator booth at the entrance that says you must be 12 or older to ride. Seems bizarre to me...

I did ride Space Roller 10x with a few of them being run in both directions, but most cycles still operating only in the backwards direction.

Had a great time and already can’t wait for fair season to start up again in this area.
