I'm sure NAME has some beautiful equipment, but it's not making it's way to Springfield. Considering Illinois politics, I blame the fair organizers.
It's a small midway area for a state fair-pretty amazing given the space that is on the grounds. There is an awful lot devoted to livestock (as there should be at a State Fair) but the area that the rides get doesn't lend itself to more and more pieces.
Astro has some terrific looking pieces, the Freak Out is one of the nicest ones I've seen and the giant wheel went all LED last year.
As far as other pieces go, Illinois State Fair takes place at the height of the season, Kentucky, Indianapolis, and Crown Point, Genesee County, etc. Both Astro Units come in to Illinois, and there are a few rides from another show.
I just don't see the midway adding much until there is more space available and less demands from the fair board.
For one dollar I'll guess your weight, your height, or your sex.
