    Your expressions on that ride was hilarious! I thought you were going to throw up for sure! Thanks for riding rides that I myself would never ride so I get to get a glimpse of them. You make these places look so much fun! :)

    Awww, that sucked you stood in line so long to be told no single riders. Tears my nerves up just watching some of those rides because I’m a wuss. I too have been to chubby for a ride and it sure does hurt your feelings but I just love food so oh well. Loved you on the Freebird. Your videos are great.

      It's also a bit odd at a fair which sells so many fried foods to not be able to accommodate.

    I'm proud of you for trying and finally getting to ride new rides, buddy! When I was a kid the Zipper made an "unlocking" sound and my Mickey Mouse wallet with 9 dollars in it fell out.. never saw that again or got back on one lol!

    When I was younger the Tennessee Valley fair was so much bigger. It was on both sides of the main road. You would go through a tunnel to travel between each side. Though it is much smaller now, it is still fun.

    • @betsynicholas
      @betsynicholas 3 роки тому +2

      Yes! I thought it was so much bigger too! But was second guessing myself, wondering if it was much bigger because I was so smaller lol. I remember there was a skyride too over a big pond.

    One of these years, try the State Fair of Texas, in Dallas. Big Tex greets you as you enter the grounds, the buildings are an amazement of Art Deco, and you can get almost anything deep-fried and on a stick. All the usual fairground stuff, and lots of it, because Texas.....

    Come to Phoenix, Az for our State Fair. We have awesome ribbon winners that are shown during it. But you could also come for Our Christmas at the Princess, Castle and Coasters, but you should really come for our Renaissance Fair in the Spring. It is so awesome with the bands that visit and the performers.

    Bravery points for riding Freebird. Now you know why no one had taken the first seat 🤢. Dark ride was ok, the outside art is always better than the ride lol. Imagine someone watching this and seeing you featured their exhibit entry! Very fun video, sorry you had to wait for rides that didn’t let you on.

    If you can, visit the Bloomsburg Fair near Knoebels in PA. The 166th edition opens tomorrow. It's a HUGE fair with an amazing midway that still features sideshow attractions, the only fair I've ever seen them at. They have harness racing, animals, so much to see. Well worth it!❤

    Hey Carpert Bagger! This is my first time commenting! I had been watching for a long time but didnt5I subscribe until I saw your video with the Joe Dirt you took home. Your story that you told was so sweet that I cried. I wanted you to know that I live in Tulsa Oklahoma and our State Fair is coming starting September 30th and ends October 11th (I'm not positive about the end date). I'm not sure if you ever come this far but just in case. We have an awesome fair and I go every year. Anyway keep making videos and keep this dirigible in the air!!

    Pensacola interstate fair down here in Florida. The free bird was called the super loop. Then when they changed to Reithhopper. (not sure if that is how it spelled.) It changed to Ring of Fire. I always got seated right in the same section with screamers. I had to stop riding the ride. Since I did not want to lose my hearing. It is a little scary when it first starts up. Then the ride turns fun for a little while. If I remember correctly when you finally reach the top of the loop there is hang time that does not last long.

    That's sad that you had to wait so long to be told no singles. At least the ferris wheel let you know up front. I would not be on any ride that puts me upside down. The dark ride was neat but so short. Haven't been to a fall fair in a while. Keep Safe ❤Keep Well ❤

    Jacob, if you're looking for a quality state fair, I can recommend the Wisconsin State Fair without reservarion. My wife and I love travelling to these state fairs, and in 2018, we travelled to the US from Canada to visit several. Minnesota was very good, but Wisconsin blew me away. Awesome people in Milwaukee, lots to see and do, and the fair is amazing.
