The first time I remember going to a carnival was when I was five years old, of course Fiesta San Antonio. I remember I was terrified by the loud sounds of the midway. I first thought the big Pirate boat was the one making the loud whoosh sound but it was the holiday bounce next to it. The hurricane blowing air, and the mother of all loud f***ers, the Love Bugs[}:)]. I remember watching as all the light's inside turned red then blue or white, sirens going off, then the loudest horn ever![:0] The holiday bounce also "changed colors" everytime it wooshed. We would go to Fiesta every year after that. I was able to ride "brand new" rides throughout the years like the crazy dance, tumbler, Hard ROck(my favorite ride for many years), Evolution, Kamikaze, and the Space Loop(everyone just watched in awe the first year 1991). Sadly, recently the fair hasn't been too great.[:(]
