Did anyone go on that "Trebuchet" ride, it looks enormous fun, flails you up in the air at incredible speed and shakes out the contents of your stomach at the top as you hit the top and float around weightless prior to going ar$e over t#t and then soaring back down to ground level to do it all again.

I made a mental note to go on it at this years GDSF but unfortunately didn't attend the show this year - you win some you lose some I guess!

Its strange, I have made a mental note not to go on it. I must be getting old...

I do like the pics though - I guess the one of the fairground was taken from the ferris wheel?

All the pics are great.
love the traction engine, yellow wheels look great.
The bus is far better than Mamods.
