State Fair Carnival Rides 1

July, 1986, KMOT-TV, Minot, ND - Every year, the North Dakota State Fair comes to Minot and, every year, we'd scramble to find interesting and fun stories to do at the event. I wanted to do a carnival ride piece that captured some of the motion and fun associated with the rides. It was a pretty good story, but not exactly the piece I envisioned. Like a photographer taking numerous photos of the same scene from different angles, in different light and in different compositions, I would end up doing a carnival ride story several times at succeeding fairs, trying to get that perfect story angle I had in mind. You can check out another carnival ride effort in my YouTube channel. Transferred from 3/4 inch videotape via ADVC 300 and into iMovie HD. From Keith Darnay's personal video collection.

@fabianscool69 I totally know what you are talking about, the problem is, when I saw this ride in person, it had no name on it and it ruins it since I would love to know the name also. They still have it at some places but its rare. Mainly church carnivals have them in California.
