Out of all the carnivals you have visited, which one has been your favorite? Which company's carnival or midway do you think is the best? What is your favorite ride found at a carnival?

My favorite carnival has been the Marshfield Fair in Marshfield, Massachusetts. It has a giant variety of rides from my favorite carnival provider, Fiesta Shows. My favorite carnival ride ever would be the Raging Rapids, a Reverchon, portable log flume.

I hate all carnivals. I can't stand the crowds and overpriced rides.

Do any of the carnivals you visit have a pay-one-price option? Fiesta Shows' carnivals have them. I do agree that crowds at carnivals get insane, sometimes worse than actual parks!

Meadowlands Fair hand down. They have pay-one-price nights for 20 bucks. I love carnivals because you get to see all kinds of flat ride you don't normally see. Unfortunately the Big M didn't have any of the Super Spectacular rides this year such as the Top Scan and Fireball. Still, it was cool.

Fiesta Shows just gets better and better. In 2006, there carnivals will have spinning wild mouses. In 2005, they added a new dark ride, a frisbee ride (KMG Freak Out), and new bumper cars.

I remember the Meadowlands Fair used to have a Niagra Falls log flume. That is such a weird attraction for a fair.

Was Niagra Falls just a standard carnival flume?

I've ony been to a few fairs. I really don't care for them. you have to pay to enter the fair and then pay even more for the rides. but Fiesta shows has normaly good prices POP options.
For starters I can tell you the one not to go to . Deerfeild fair. It's 7 bucks to gget in and not POP option and they are expensive. the ride solection is terable and the fair has good shows but the exipits are terable. most of the fair grounds is packed sholder to shoulder food stalls at prices that make SFNE look like a bargen.
this is th eonly fair I've been to latly and it was terable. ther is a fair with fiesta shows further north I might go to next year since its allot cheaeper 5 bucks for the fair(often discount tickets available) and the POP is like 25 bucks for a very large ride solection.
