Hope you all had a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! I've been saving this video as an Xmas present of sorts, as I think it's the best video I have to share. The 2014 edition of the State Fair Meadowlands had rides from Amusements of America, Strates Shows, and Reithoffer Shows, along with some independent operators.
One of the better midways of the past 20 years or so, however nothing beats the early 2000s when the fair had Space Roller, Evolution, Tango, Rainbow, Mondial Shake (Magnum), and more on the same midway.
Included in the video are on-ride shots of Sky Flyer, Sky Ride, and Orbiter.
