Yeah, I like amusement parks but not a huge fan of "fairs" or carnivals. The rides always seem rickety too me, it's too expensive for what it is and it's too crowded. The only exception is our local county fair (which is smaller than our ridiculously crowded state fair). At the county fair, you can get a one-price wrist-band that lets you ride all the rides. My kids like all the small fun-house kinda things so we can get a good days entertainment for not too much $$ (and have a fried snickers bar or something.
)
