    Watching your videos has become a regular for my daycare kids over summer break😅. I turned to 1 of your videos one morning (to listen to while I was cleaning up toys), and all the kids heard your intro music and ran to the living room to sit and quietly watch😊. Starting our morning Carpetbagger tradition. Thank you for giving me a little break in the mornings to enjoy a cup of coffee😅. Now I wish I had gone to the MD state fair this past weekend😢forgot you said you were going to be there. Would have been great to get a picture with you to show my daycare kids. Hopefully, another time.

    • @johnchambers8528
      @johnchambers8528 17 днів тому +1

      It helps keep the horse paying attention to only looking forward so as not to be distracted by other horses in the race. If it has mesh it also helps the horse from getting dirt kicked into its face and eyes from horses in front of them in a race.

    I don't know what else you can call the swings in English. In German, you would call this ride a "Kettenkarussell", meaning "chain carousel". Reason is, of course, the chains the seats are attached to.

    Sorry if somebody else commented this already, but the "blindfold" on the horse is actually a fly mask. They can see through the mesh material just fine, but it keeps flies away from their eyeballs.
    Also, the "faded" raccoon is likely leucistic. Albino animals have no pigmentation at all, resulting in red eyes and white fur, skin, or scales. Leucistic animals have less pigmentation than they're supposed to but aren't fully albino. They could be anything from a white animal with black eyes (so not fully albino) to just looking "faded."

    The undulating swing rides that usually have the ornate panels on them are typically considered "Wave Swingers". The most common at least with amusement parks is made by Zierer and is called Wave Swinger, Zamperla also makes a similar slightly smaller version, I know the ones at Knoebels and Holiday World are made by Zamperla and at a few other places.
    And then Chance rides also made a swing ride called Yo-Yo, not as many of those around these days, but they're about the size of a Zierer or Zamperla swing ride, but don't have the scenery panels, and look more carnival like in decoration and style. Dutch Wonderland had or still has a Yo-Yo, otherwise not sure of too many of those still at permenant amusment parks.
    The tower rides with the chains are usually called Starflyers and the big tower rides at the legacy Cedar Fair parks are Windseekers which were by a different company than Starflyers.

    Edit: the Rockin’ Out ride is a rare Wisdom Rides “Aladin”. They were themed originally as flying carpets, and the original models ran forwards and backwards. Oddly, I believe they used the base of these rides on the Gravitrons as well (the center rail section looks exactly the same!)

    Hi! Just a bit of information to clarify what you saw at the Maryland State Fair: the political poster at the Republican booth was for Larry Hogan, the governor who preceded Wes Moore, the current governor.
    The "turtle" figure in the Dairy building is actually a Maryland terrapin (a variety of tortoise), and he is the mascot for the University of MD.
    Also, despite the fact that the midway rides do make the rounds of the East Coast, they are likely to be the safest carnival rides in the US! Maryland has some of the strictest safety regulations on the books for this type of rides, to the point that many "carnies" hate taking their equipment into MD! The safety inspectors are very well known for showing up on site, even before the rides have been completely set up......definitely NOT a bad thing! Lastly, the race track at Timonium Fairgrounds has the shortest racing season of all the tracks in Maryland - they only run horse races during the time the State Fair is open.
    I have to say, I was truly tickled to see your video on UA-cam. I was born & raised in the Baltimore area, but I have lived in Florida for the past 19 years. I hope you enjoyed your stay!
