SPECTACULAR RIDES
Enterprise
The Enterprise, manufactured by Huss of Germany, features 20-two passenger vehicles. As the ride begins to spin, the free swinging vehicles swing out, and the ride rises at a 85 degree angle twirling riders upside down!
Giant Wheel
The Giant Wheel is one of the largest portable gondolla wheels in the USA. Standing at a height of near 100ft tall, the Giant Wheel features 20 gondollas. The Giant Wheel is transported on four semi trailers and takes up to eight hours to erect.
Hang 10
The Hang 10 is a spectacular, multi-trailer ride that spins riders in multiple directions. As the ride spins, the cars swing in and out, sending riders dipping, gliding, and whipping through the air in a wave-like motion
Hydra
The Hydra is one of the most popular rides on the midway. Upon boarding, riders are secured with over-the-shoulder restraints. As the claw begins to rotate, it starts to swing back and forth until it reaches its full height of 60ft in the air!
Riptide

Rock 'n' Roll Himalaya

Sea Ray
The Sea Ray is a large swinging ship. As the ship swings higher and higher, guests get that classic stomach-drop feeling with big laughs. This one's fo the riders who want just the right mix of fun, height and hold-on-tight excitement.
Spaceport
One of the tallest rides at the Fair! Take a spin around at speeds up to 60 mph as you spin in your seat. Spaceport sends riders soaring high above the Midway on a massive rotating arm, with open-air seats on each end built for maximum “why did I agree to this?”
Super Shot
Riders are safely secured in the ride vehicle using a seat belt and over-the-shoulder restraint. As the vehicle slowly raises, riders enjoy a breathtaking view of the surround Midway. Once at the top, the vehicle pauses and plummets to the ground when the riders least expect it!
Typhoon
The Typhoon is a giant magic carpet ride. As the ride motion begins, the vehicle slowly starts to rock left and right until it reaches its full height of 50ft. At full speed, riders can experience the sensation of weightlessness as the vehicle descends from full height.
Vertigo
The Vertigo is a high swing thrill ride that swings riders 90 ft. above the Midway! Riders sit in open-air swing seats with their feet dangling as the tower rises, spins, and sends them flying in a wide circle over the Fairgrounds. This one a true Midway showstopper
Wave Swinger
The Wave Swinger is a classic swing carousel that lifts riders into the air in individual suspended seats, then sends them gliding in a wide, graceful circle above the Midway. Beautiful by day and glowing at night, this Fair favorite delivers big views, fresh air, and just the right amount of “look, Ma, no floor.”
THRILL RIDES
Cliff Hanger
Ever wanted to experience hang gliding but never had the opportunity? The Cliff Hanger features three passenger vehicles in which patrons lie in. After being safely strapped in, the ride begins to turn. When the ride reaches full speed, it lifts into the air flying you at an angle, safely gliding through the air.
Fire Ball
Ready to go for a loop? The Fire Ball is a giant, 60ft tall, 360 degree looping roller coaster. Riders are secured using over-the-shoulder restraints in an open air vehicle.
The ride soon moves forward and in reverse until it builds enough speed to make a full loop. Halfway through, the ride direction is reversed.
Haunted Mansion
A spooky dark ride filled with eerie surprises around every corner. Inside, guests will encounter unique scares, creepy characters and mechanical props that spring to life when they least expect it. Climb and journey deep into the shadows of this classic Midway attraction. Strange sights, sudden frights and plenty of haunted-house fun,
Music Express
The Musik Express is a fast-paced ride that races in a circle—both forward and backward—over a hilly track. Its booming sound system keeps the energy high with today’s top music hits playing throughout the ride. Riders slide together as the speed builds and the cars sweep through every rise, dip and turn. With flashing lights, loud music and nonstop motion, the Musik Express turns the Midway into one giant dance floor on wheels.
Starship 4000
Step into outer space aboard the Starship 4000! Riders enter the giant spaceship and take their places standing against the wall. As the doors close and the ship begins to rotate, centrifugal force takes over, lifting riders off the floor and holding them against the padded panels. With room for up to 45 passengers, the Starship 4000 turns the Midway into one seriously spinning space mission. Prepare for liftoff—and a ride that’s truly out of this world!
Storm
The Storm is a high-intensity thrill ride that sends riders racing around a circular platform in open-air cars. As the speed builds, the cars twist and twirl in multiple directions, creating a whirlwind of spinning, sweeping motion. Bold storm-themed graphics and dazzling lights add to the excitement— especially after dark. Buckle up, Duval because the forecast calls for nonstop thrills!
NO CAP.
Zero Gravity
Get ready to defy gravity on Zero Gravity! Riders stand against the circular cage with no seats or restraints holding them down—just the powerful force created as the ride begins to spin. Once it reaches full speed, centrifugal force holds passengers firmly against the wall as the entire ride rises to a thrilling 50-degree angle. With room for up to 33 riders, it’s a dizzying combination of speed, height and weightless-looking fun. Hold on—well, technically, you won’t have to!
The Zipper
This Midway classic delivers a ride that is anything but predictable. Individual compartments travel around the perimeter of a rotating boom, then suddenly flip end over end as they whip around each end of the oblong frame. Because the boom and pulley system rotate at different speeds, every car spins, swings and tumbles in its own wildly unpredictable pattern. No two rides are ever quite the same—exactly why generations of thrill-seekers come back to get zipped all over again.
