It is Nottingham Goose Fair this week. One of the largest travelling fairs in Europe (allegedly).
We always go for a walk around the site and I always have my camera in hand.
This is the Waltzer, a real 'old school' funfair ride. You get spun in a Car on a roundabout...'old school thrills' and one I'd never ever go on. I'd photograph it though.
So cheery and colourful...I used to go on all the daredevil rides and loved it...haven't been to a theme park or carnival in a long while ...would still go on a big roller-coaster 😁
I love that ride! They used to have one at Myrtle Beach and it was called the Coaster here. It had a DJ and they played music while you went forward and backwards - faster and faster. Nice capture!
All the fun of the fair captured here with the motion and all the bright lights and colours , Such a long long time since I was on one of these , happy memories , but not for me these days!
Nice to watch, but I don’t do spinning round either. Always used to enjoy Loughborough Fair, which I think often included rides from the Goose Fair, after they had moved on from Notts.
@annied Annie , I'd do a roller coaster , no spinning !
@marlboromaam thanks mags , the man stood by the car / cab spins it faster !!
