Carrol Manor Fire company Carnival

Hi everyone 

I have made it to my 4th Carnival of the season on June 10th 

It was Snyders Amusement's small unit at the Carroll Manor Fire company Carnival

Nice little event with rides, a live band, Bingo, and refreshments and food for sale to benefit the fire dept.

Here's the ride list: 

 Rides were Eyerly Sidewinder, Roknroll,Swinger,Cliff Hanger,sizzler, Eli Hy 5 wheel, Mardi gras fun house, several kiddie rides including a WF Mangels Fire trucks from 1943

Several food and games provided by Snyders

Now on to the pictures

 Started the evening off with an Eyerly Sidewinder which is very rare

 It still Tilts horizontally 

 Last sidewinder view, we'll come back to it later 

 Chance Rock N Roll (second one of the year, I rode it) and a Pink Watkins Swinger

 Cliff Hanger really looks out of place in this lot, surrounded by vintage rides

 Rock N Roll is very fun, you never really know when the operator will flip your car, I got 4 flips in my ride

 The cliff hanger aka Hang glider on some shows still does not fit with all these vintage rides

 Sidewinder really has a nice Glow to it

 The cable driven Hy 5 wheel shortly after sunset is just beautiful in the evenings after dark!

 Herschell Helicopters ride

I smell  Candy Apples and Funnel Cake!!!!!!!!!!

 Herschell Carousel probably from the late 40's or 50's, but could date from the 30's

 Funnel Cakes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

 Yet another game

 more games

 Even more games

 Carousel

 The Skee Ball game, quite rare to find these on carnivals in this modern era

 Midway

 Kiddie land section

 Carousel close up

 Skeeball 

 The Herschell Carousel, all the controls are mounted to the center shaft so it must date to the 40's if not older

 Mardi gra

 Hampton ride

 W F Mangels 1943 Fire Trucks, yes that is 71 years old and still running nicely

 another Hampton

 Swinger

 Cliff Hanger yet again

 Swinger in all her glory

 The sidewinder and Rock N Roll make for a beautiful sight once the sun sets

 Sidewinder certainly has a nice white glow to her

 She looks great!!!!!!!!
