Pharoh's Fury (4 Tickets)
A Chance Pharoh's Fury
An egyptian themed pirate ship ride. This one swung fast and high within its arc.
Predator (4 Tickets)
An Orbiter
Sort of like a cross between a Scrambler and a Troika. However since the base of rotation in the arms is much smaller, the ride is much more intense. I rated this 'best of show'.
Ran like all flat rides SHOULD be run: Fast and furious!!!
Hurricane (4 Tickets)
Sort of like a Swing Around, except that instead of the cars rising and falling in alternating patters, on this ride they all rose or fell simultaneously. Used 4 seater cars.
Pumpkin Patch (3 Tickets)
A variation on Sellner's popular 'spinners'. You know the deal, get in grab the wheel in the center and see how fast you can make those puppies spin.
Carrousel (2 Tickets)
Billed as the finest looking portable carrousel in Cincinnati. (But then again how many competitors does it have?) It did look nice though.
A Hampton car ride (Umbrella Ride) (2 Tickets)
Games of Skill Midway
Consession Stand
Opinion:
First time for this show, but it was 'good enough' although nothing to go out of your way for. I caught it when I was going to Norwood Plaza for other things.
