Randomness at the Fair

Roland and I went to the NYS Fair last night to see Journey in concert, but we were able to go down a bit early and walk around, people watch and grab some delicious fair food. We haven't been in a couple of years so we definitely took it all in and felt our age in certain circumstances. We stood and watched some of the crazy a@# rides and couldn't believe how much people loved them, but felt nauseous just standing there watching.
This ride started flat on the ground and ended up looking like this, straight in the air. UGH!

These swings also started on the ground where people's feet were actually touching and look how high is lifts them. Double UGH!

I couldn't get a picture of these guys faces, but they are wearing "Morph" suits that totally cover their faces. 1. That's so odd. 2. It was 80 degrees with the sun blaring and they had Lycra spandex on from head to toe.

This ride was like para gliding on your stomach. All I could think was if someone got sick and you were standing under them you were in deep trouble.

Another massively high set of swings.

No lie...we actually got to see one up close. Two donuts used as the buns with a burger in the middle.

A fair must...roasted corn!

It was a great evening filled with food, food and more food, crazy sights and great music. I have to say that I was disappointed in Journey, but Foreigner stole the show and was fantastic!
