Minnesota State Fair, 2004 Various pointless photos from the Minnesota State Fair.

A view of the Skycoaster at the top of Machinery Hill. Another view. Because you can never see enough of the Skycoasters. Third view. Note the early morning sun. The North end of the Skyglider. Very popular with the ambulatory. Long view of the Skyglider. It's early. No riders yet. The tables in front of Coasters Restaurant. Cute, huh? See? I'm not lying. Coasters. A row of food stands leading up to the Mighty Midway entrance and the Top Spin. Bungee/slingshot/skyshot, or whatever the hell this particular one is called. Mutant art on the Zamperla Skater. I forgot to shoot the actual ride. Tard. Big Ol' Ferris Wheel. Big Ol' Ferris Wheel, part two. Turn around and shoot the Skater! Tard. General Midway Madness. Nothing says Fair to me like a Zipper making people throw up. Techno Power. Oddly enough, they were playing disco. Disco Power? It's not the Mighty Midway without "Giant Head Magnum"! You frighten me with your giant head, Giant Head Magnum. Elephant Ears and a Double Ferris Wheel. Nothing better. Except for the Zipper next door, of course. I love this shot. This just hollers "Summer!" to me. The Avalanche. I don't remember it being pink, blue and yellow. Some shots of the Double Ferris Wheel. And another shot, because I'm a tard and wasn't shooting the Skater. Note the overwhelming amount of Yellow. The sign. If you're going to restore an old ride, tell people. It's so high up in the air! Whoops. We're on the ground now. My poor photography almost shows the drive cable. Big Motor and Transmission. The other Big Motor and Transmission. Back to the first Big Motor and Transmission. Complete Tard. A great shot of the candy coated colors. I admit it. I'm hypnotized by these rides. Fine. Yet another shot. What about the Skater, you idiot?
