There are going to be tons of rides to choose from, including a couple of new attractions for this year.

Here are the types of rides being offered, according to the event’s site:

  • Spectacular Rides: “For all you thrill seekers and adrenaline junkies, our Spectacular Rides are a must! Whether you’re taking a ride upside down and backwards on our one-of-a-kind Delusion or spinning into outer space on Alien Invasion, Dreamland Amusements has got it all! To top it off, our rides change between 250 different colors throughout your ride, creating a spectacular vision you won’t forget!”
  • Major Rides: “For carnival goers of all ages, our Major Rides provide endless fun! From the classic Sizzler decked out in LED lights, to the high flying Mulligan swings, we’ve got something for everybody! Come take a trip down memory lane with these classic rides and maybe even try out some new family favorites!”
  • Family & Kiddie Rides: “For all of our youngest (and smallest) carnival goers, Kiddie Land is the perfect place to experience all the carnival fun! From the classic Mangel Fire Engine, and Pony Cart rides to the colorful spinning teacups, there are so many fun rides your little ones can enjoy. Height requirements are listed on each ride for your convenience.”

And of course, what’s a carnival without food? Take your pick, from funnel cakes to cotton candy to pizza and more.
