County Fair Thrill Rides (From 1994 To 2011)

Various thrill rides / roller coasters, with on-ride (POV) and off-ride (ground) footage shot from the Miami-Dade County Youth Fair, South Florida Fair, and Old Town near Kissimmee, Florida. Footage shot during 1994 / 1999 (older hi-8 footage) and recently in 2008 with a digital camcorder and a GoPro HD camera in 2011. See the ejection seat / slingshot ride, as well as the more traditional "Orbiter", spinning / flipping rides, and small coaster type attractions. "Be there" at "the fair"!

[@alexiswilliams845]

I've got on that ride that goes back and forth and around I no the name I just cant think of it

[@SkyChaserCom]

@cindyfresh83 The first one was Doppel Looping, a German-designed double-loop coaster that has been at the Miami-Dade fair since at least 1988 until 2009. Sad they removed it.

[@SkyChaserCom]

@Elisee58 Good day ... It's called "Nemesis 360".

[@SkyChaserCom]

@ShadowLinkxMaster Some of the night-shots were from 1994. Pretty much the same layout, but different rides over the years. They removed the Doppel Looping coaster in 2009 ... Bummer!

[@evilspin]

OMG the ride at 2:35 is the "Crazy 8's" I still remember it which was next to the Doppel Lopping (Double looper) it used to flip 8 times forward and 8 times non stop backwards. That ride had tohe most audience watching in awe, terror and intriwue and the longest line next to the wildcat. no one remembers this one and thinks I imagined it when I have spoken about it. This was in the 90's and only appeard once and after that is was replaced by the better known "Crazy Flip" which had a stadium style seating facing forward and only fliped three times forward and held u upside down for 20 seconds and then rock and end. now they took the crazy flip out and now the fair sucks cause they remove the best and most talked about rides and replace it with fewer rides and rides that do similar motions. :/

Does absolutely ANYONE know the name of the ride @2:34 - 2:46? I've searched & searched for years to find the name of that one!! I remember it SO well, but I can't remember the name. It seemed to only make an appearance at the county fair that 1 summer, 1994 I believe!

[@evilspin]

This was when it was at its peak and really good. Catchy songs, Conko the clown as its classic symbol, best times for youth, best rides while introducing new ones and keeping the good ones and classics still. Now the song sucks or no music at all with no lyrics and catchy tune, no more Conko the clown as its identifiable symbol of fun who all recognized, park is not that fun anymore and has become a bit more ghetto and street and not family friendly as it was, a lot of rides shut down or break down and accidents occurr, and now they give us three new rides each year and take off at least 8 best ones and no more classic rides abound the fair while the new rides they introduce are mainly drop rides and 2 takes of the same ride they already have in their roster. What the hell? Beloved classics they removed: The rainbow (classic favorite) Tidal wave (classic favorite) Double Sky wheel (classic favorite for couples) Cobra Scorpion Mark 1 roller coaster (been there for years and was the smallest and first roller coaster chosen for beginners) Wildcat roller Coaster (the bigger coaster than the mark 1 and the second main attraction every year with longest line) Chaos Tornado/Touchdown Swiss bob coaster (a strange and unique classic ride that was underrated) The Runaway train coaster (a classic underrated ride, a dragon wagon coaster for adults) Break dance (classic favorite) Enterprise (classic favorite) G-Force (one of the new ones that became a favorite) Crazy 8's/Crazy flip/flip n out (became the most talked about and favorite) Gravitron (classic favorite removed cause one girl got hurt when the walls opened during motion) Zipper (classic favorite) Round up (classic favorite) Doppel Looping (Double Looper roller coaster which was the most iconic and main ride) Polar express with best announcer and music and many different takes of the Himalaya rides were removed which is like a staple classic in every park . who knows how many more were also removed I cant think of now but now you walk the park and we have nothing shown that is iconic, no roller coasters but the crazy mouse which is fun but does not provide the thrill the wild cat and doppel looping did, took off the classic spinning classic park staples for what? For at least 3 variations of the drop rides, 3 types of orbiters, 1 Himalaya ride, and 4 versions of the Fireball (which I love but no need for 3 more that do the same motion with different paint jobs in exchange for removing classic beloved rides) and the class of people that go now and fights that occur and no happy children around...Fair sucks now best rides are in southern areas and Germany I hear the city is commissioning to move the fair in a different lot due to FIU grounds expanding. Contracts have been signed 2014. Lets see what happens and where it will be.

[@Reempte]

What has this world come to. Shit. That's what the world has come to
