Speaking of Michael's Amusements, i remember when they sat up at the old Wal-Mart parking lot there in Dunn, NC (1995). That was back when that Wal-Mart was still going strong, before they built that new one between Dunn & Erwin. Anyway, that's the year i saw my first ever Loop-o-Plane in person. They had it set up near the highway and across from the Pizza Hut. Luckily, i got to ride it finally last year & rode it quite a bit. It'd be awesome if it made it to Dunn area. I'm with alot of you on the parking lot carnivals, No mud to deal with, unlike a grassy area. I know of a grassy area where Smokey Mtn. Amusements has sat up in the past over there in Garner, NC off of highway 70. When it rains, boy, that mud is nasty. 😞 Last year in April / May time frame, there was some small show there at the old Wal-Mart parking lot. Not sure who it was, but they had these rides : Hi Roller, Ring of Fire, Zipper, Round Up, the new Viper (Cobra), 1001 Nachts, and some kiddies. I can't remember the show's name though.
