Nottingham Goose Fair 2024: Review & Tips

[@EmilyWalters]

Excellent video! Thanks very much for making this. I’ll stick to the fairground games to save money.

[@OutAndBackTravel]

Ahh thanks ☺️ are you sure I can’t tempt you onto the 215ft tall one?!! Haha

[@SimonLiddo]

£15 for a KMG Booster ride (albeit a huge one) is taking the p*ss! Nice video though 😊

[@OutAndBackTravel]

I know right?! It’s even more wounding when they flip the price from £15 to £10 as we were getting off 😥

[@IeuanPowell]

It’s the only one in the uk it was 3 million pound and imagine how much money it costs to do a ride like that!

[@OutAndBackTravel]

£15 per ride - 32 seats, cycle time of 3mins - so 20 dispatches an hour so easily capable of £9600 an hour - not a bad return on that £3m investment

£15 for kmg aero space is a good price if you go to kmg and buy one it's 3 million pounds plus all showman who have rides have to pay for diesel to run the rides staff rent to the cancel tax to the government they have to pay to have it safety checked they have to pay for security if you own a funfair ride you never make a profit you always loose money it's a money pit

[@OutAndBackTravel]

It’s a lot like the money pit of having a classic car .. only it’s 215ft tall

What a load of shite that statement is,showmen are some of the richest people in the UK,you never see a poor one,they run their sets on red diesel they pay hardly any road tax because it's showman haulage,yes they pay rents on the land they pull onto but to say they don't make money?? Are you joking!! Count how many riders are in each car, count how many car's there is what ride price is and work it out how much they are taking for each 2/3 minute ride cycle,then things again if they make anything or not. They wouldn't travel the country for nothing.

@@talking-sense I have worked at funfairs for 30 years if you think it's easy to have a funfair Ride and make lots of money good luck first you got to get a ride then you got to try and get in to the business they don't just let anyone join it's like a magic trick you see it packed lots of people spending money 80% of funfairs small local funfairs are dead no people bills still have to be paid

7 waltzers & 6 dodgems set ,,,👍🏽not 10 as you stated

[@OutAndBackTravel]

Thanks for the audit - appreciate the scientific result there. In my defence I’d been spun around all over the place maybe I had double vision at the time!
