 Well the State Fair is a place where you can soar to new heights. Josh Peterson shows us what's big and new at this year's Great Minnesota Get-Together. There is nothing quite like the thrills and spills of the Minnesota State Fair. Throughout the 320 acre fairgrounds, you can find multiple forms of entertainment when it comes to carnival rides. For the Minnesota State Fair, two large locations create both the Mighty Midway and the Kidway. There are the many unique aspects of the fair. We're able to contract with a bunch of different ones which means that we have the top of the top. We have the best rides that come here because they're all competing to try to get to our fair. Each year the State Fair staff works to reinvent the Midway and still continue its tradition to provide new staples that can become new family traditions. Even though the rides here in the Mighty Midway live up to their name, the Minnesota State Fair has amusement rides spread throughout their fairgrounds. However, this year's new feature ride takes the rider to all new heights. This year we're really excited to bring the Great Big Wheel. It's up on the north end of the fairgrounds at Randall & Cooper. We're going to cross from Family Fair at Baldwin Park. It's super impressive. It stands 156 feet tall. 15 stories high. From just about anywhere on the fairgrounds, the new family fun feature Towers Overhead. The large structure has drawn steady crowds since the opening day of the fair. For many, it's an enjoyable family ride and an honor to ride America's largest traveling ferris wheel. Yeah, I've been here almost every year since I was born, and so being on a ride like this was cool to see a perspective that I haven't seen before, and obviously with the biggest wheel in the world, it's a one-time chance to get on a traveling wheel like this. I think it's just, it was fun, you know, and you could see forever, but I don't know, I guess it was just, yeah, I think I'm glad it's here. This wheel of wonder is not a permanent structure at the fairgrounds, so fairgoers are encouraged to jump at the opportunity and go for a ride because it's no guarantee that it will be back next year, reporting from Falcon Heights at the Minnesota State Fair. I'm Josh Peterson, Lakeland News. The great big wheel is the second tallest structure at the fair. The Space Tower still holds the record for tallest ride. Stay with us the rest of the week as our Josh Peterson continues to bring us reports from the Minnesota State Fair on Lakeland News.
