Hi Folks:

I am currently in Paso Robles, CA. I visited the Mid-State fair last night. This particular fair contracts with Davis Enterprises, one of the better CA carnivals.

The carnival layout was very nice this year. The two wheels and Sky Diver were very well placed so as to "balance" the mideway. The lot contained:

Giant Wheel
Century Wheel (Shamrock)
Wave swinger
Large MGR
Sizzler
Paratrooper
Sky Diver (The old B & B one)
Crystal Lils Glass House
Area 51 Gravatron (booked in by ?)
Techo Mix (booked in by ?)
Zipper
Mack Super Himalaya
Crazy Mouse Roller Coatser (Vandervorste)
Scooter Bumper Car
German Fun House
Rock N' Roll bobs
Cliff Hanger
Tornado (that popular Wisdom ride)
Loop O Plane
Tilt
Little Dipper Coaster
Orient Express
8-9 other kiddie rides

Tickets were $1.00 each or 20/18.00. Rides take 3-5 tickets. Wristbands were $30.00.

Missing from last year was the Spider, Drop Tower, Casino (Both Shamrock).
Has anyone seen, recetly, the Super Bolt Bobs or the Sky Diver with the red base, yellow sweeps, and flourescent light package? I have not seen either since circa 2005.

The show will be here for 2 weeks before it goes on to Washington for a large fair.

Mike
