OHIO STATE FAIR 2011 Friday night storm

[@tornadomatt3660]

What's is the ride called at 0:28

[@Paneeks1960]

I cannot believe just how much rain settled in the fairgrounds. When it rains in Ohio, it really rains in Ohio. My favorite shot of the fair was at 1:11. The sky looks amazing in the background. The shots you took from under the Ferris Wheel was also magnificent. And of course when the sky was clearing is always my favorite in your videos as well. You do incredible work Bob. It makes me feel as though I got to experience the fair from Boston. Thanks a lot, Rob

[@countrycajunfan1959]

WOW, those are some nasty looking skies! GREAT video! (Wish we'd get some rain or relief from the torrid heat wave that we've been experiencing; no relief in sight! :( )

[@btrcarlospenaisawesome1447]

I absolutely love your fair videos. I wish I could go to this fair one day.

What’s That Swing Ride Call? 1:01

[@CoasterBob62]

Its generic name is Mini Wave Swinger. I don't know what the fair called it.

[@UrLocalMaja]

CoasterBob62 Ok

[@tornadomatt3660]

Family wave swinger

[@tornadomatt3660]

What happen the thrill rides in the storm

[@tornadomatt3660]

I like your videos

[@CoasterBob62]

@fantasybarn The fair IS amazing! Only rode the ferris wheel...didn't see Gravitron...

[@MestizoFilipino]

This video is unintentionally, exceptionally eerie.

[@young321bookie]

I hope you have a good year my friend! God bless you. :)

[@tiffanycardosa2405]

great video.I love storms and rides.

[@Predatorocks]

Why were they running the Giant Wheel in the lightning?

[@balletbod1]

hahah Tomb of doom With lightning behind it..... Scary...... I remember there was a storm in spain and i was driving 2wards a paradore, lit up ornage, It looked haunted with lightning behind it.

[@CoasterBob62]

@Paneeks1960 Thanks as always, Rob. I'm a storm cloud freak as well as a ride nerd and this was a perfect mix for me. I was surprised at how much water was left behind by the storm. A very surreal evening.

[@fantasybarn]

this fair looks amzing did u do the gravitron ??

[@tornadomatt3660]

They did not do the graviton

[@CoasterBob62]

@cincybengals101 It's not for everyone. It's certainly not as clean and tidy as, say, Kings Island. The ride ops are allowed to smoke on duty (not cool around kids in my opinion,) there are wall-to-wall food vendors, and buildings full of pigs, sheep, and chickens nearby. But that's what being at a fair is all about! It's very affordable, too.

[@rollercoaster1111]

@CoasterBob62 Whenever I try to record a coaster with my Flip cam that's all I get is people staring at me. I'll try not to let it bother me though. I love your videos man. Keep up the good work!

[@CoasterBob62]

@rollercoaster1111 Yes. It used to bother me, but I've learned to not worry about it.

[@rollercoaster1111]

Do people ever stare at you when you film?

[@mandygrooms9731]

I like your show

[@familyplushies6775]

I remember that my city summer fair called the ex on every June there would be a storm i don’t know why

[@inkandtheblueberrychannle3729]

was that in orrville ohio

[@CoasterBob62]

It's in Columbus, Ohio.

[@TheJennabug5]

They run the giant wheel to cut down on the wind so it doesn't topple over. Same way with the skywheel (Double Ferriswheel)

[@CoasterBob62]

@countrycajunfan1959 Hey there! We've been experiencing the hot stuff as well and this storm brought some relief for the evening. And as luck would have it, I had a couple of cameras handy!

[@CoasterBob62]

@wwefan70511 Ohio Expo Center in Columbus, Ohio.

[@shawnbianco8325]

My state fair got delayed on because of some rain too, and it was on a Saturday. Rain did clear up thank goodness

[@deletedaccountdnd]

@CoasterBob62 I'm a storm cloud freak, and a ride nerd too! :D

[@TravisEngland222]

its my dream to one day experience the fair in a storm...

[@LumityCanon4131]

I was at the state fair that day too.

[@fantasybarn]

@CoasterBob62 oh hahah i go to the fairs in pa alot and i thought the buttler fair and candfeild fair was good this looks soooooo big!!!1

[@tiffanycardosa2405]

Good qustion. They don't get it in their head that lightning is attracted to metal

[@CoasterBob62]

@NoLimitsTycoon GREAT IDEA!! :D Thanks.

[@anthonyk]

it always seems like when i go to a fair there is a big storm and also this scares me because i live in ohio

[@tiffanycardosa2405]

ikr?

[@tiffanycardosa2405]

No.It's probably one of the rides.

[@cjman87]

i was sitting in my room last night when this storm came nd was freakin out! lol

[@booth2710]

Now if that was England that weather would not stop anybody. In fact if it was above 8C people would be buying ice creams

[@mandygrooms9606]

I love it

[@tornadomatt3660]

[@tiffanycardosa2405]

[@DragonFighter1133]
