lovely day today, will take the kids for a once and only walk round

I asked the wife if we could take them today and she said that it was mean...... I countered with a but it will save a bundle of cash argument.

I lost we go midweek

So what's the average price for the rides this year?

thank god my kids are grown up and can go on there own

i hate the place

£2 for the ones we went on. We always start on Sea Storm which was £2.50 each so that was a tenner down after 5 minutes.

There was one I'd not seen before for kids about 12 and under - giant inflatable beach ball type things you climb inside on a giant paddling pool. Youngest went on that and really liked it although it was £5.

Your life

I used to go on the rides but when you work in engineering and you look closely at the way those things are put up, and who they're put up by its scary

No, it isn't, these guys put the things up and take them down 20+ times a year, all are rigorously checked and have certificates awarded, can you say the same about a bicycle assembled by Halfords?

The Fair is many things, systematically unsafe it isn't.

I was at a tournament on the astroturf the week before the fair and we looked at a bloke climbing up the support strut of the big wheel; he got to the centre and it was only when he swung across that we could see he had no safety harness or rope attached at all; frightening.

i had a door swing open on one of the big ones a few years back, if i hadn't had hold of it, i'd be dead. there answer, well sort it and you can have a free ride!!! erm dont think so.

So your saying they get checked at every fair before being opened to the public? If thats the case than thats good, Things can easily be missed or lost when putting equipment up so quickly though so if they only have annual checks i'd still be dubious about riding them.
And a bike from halfords can always be checked before riding it, plus it does'nt spin you round 80 foot in the air at 60 m.p.h! unless your an extreme mountain biker of course!

Well if anyone of them are unsafe, i know a man who will gladly help you if you get hurt

If you want the night to end early go on the ride called supa spin ( i think ) my son and I went on it....when we got off he was green and had to be sick moments later and I, a veteran of all crazy rides, was definately under the weather, we did not eat before we went either.....needless to say my son was happy to go home and take a new xbox game as consolation
