Here is a Carnival, its Shaw & Sons which means lots of oldies, lets take a journey back in time to the era of the late 70's to a group of rides that are dwindling and hard to find all together in our modern midways. What surprises lie ahead?
Here we see a Hrubetz Fireball and Chance Rokn'roll
Here's the Hrubetz Round Up dwarfing an early Wisdom Sizzler
Nice Hrubetz Hurricane
Look what I found, probably the rarest flat ride in the country, a Hrubetz Fireball akin to a "Poor Man's Octopus" guess it was never well recieved, This is one of 9 that were built
Classic Florescent and Incandescent bulbs on this Hurricane
Whats that in the distance towering over the Round Up? shall we investigate?
Hey there's a First generation Wisdom Sizzler
Chance Roknroll not too many of them left, and one of two in the state of Maryland
Every classic midway needs a Tilt a Whirl and a Zipper
Its a Eyerly Rock O Plane, sadly there quite rare, a good height piece to frame the far end of the carnival
Now there's a Childress Fun Slide which is also rare
Beach Party fun house behind the slide
Wow LEDS on a classic? Sure looks like this rock got the LED treatment
What a perfect day in May for a carnival
Nice little ATV kiddie ride
Wow some ominous clouds i hope it doesn't rain
Another shot of the slide
Looking straight up the slide
I smell Cotton Candy and Caramel apples
Some dark storm clouds behind the Rock
