New Rides, New Game Promotion

Windstorm and Rock-It are the newest additions to the Fair's Fun Zone. Windstorm is a roller coaster, making it the third coaster at the Fair. It's intense, with dips, twists and drops, and it reaches speeds of up to 60mph. Rock-It (pictured) is an extreme thrill ride that takes you upside down at 80 feet in the air and twists and turns you in all directions.
Kiddieland has added Daytona Truck.
You can save on midway games for the first time with our new Try Your Luck For A Buck days on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Or, buy game sheets, 20 coupons for $20.00, to play for a buck any day. More info on the Best Pass Ever page.
