Actually, this setup this year is half of last years. Last year they had the drop tower and all the toys in there.

Nice photos! I am sorry the batteries died as I would have liked to see more of the rides at the midway. What exactly is that Double Shock? I have never heard of that one before.

The Double Shock is an excellent ride. Its like a "1001 Nachts" or a "Moby Dick" aka "Avalanch" with two cars. It is also a lot shorter in height than a "1001 Nachts" which in turn whips you around more to make you feel like you are going fast. Since it has two cars, it gives an impressive viewing for the midway.

Show looks great as usual! The other unit with the Mega Drop is in Orland Park this weekend, played in conjunction with All Star Amusements.
