When EV comes to San Antonio, he will be doing so during Fiesta, which of course included a carnival.

So...which band member/s would you pick to ride with and on which ride would it be?

Mine is the Gravitron and I'd like to be on it with the entire band.

    Freak show at the BIG E in MA.
    A dwarf inserts a fish hook in his tongue.
    He then attaches a bucket of water to the end of the hook and holds up the bucket only using his tongue.
    He turns beet red while straining to hold the bucket.
    Falling to the ground after I fainted was my favorite carnival ride. What a rush !

    They have height requirements that must be met before a child is allowed on a ride
    In this case, the child's obesity was a risk factor.

    I would SO do the swinging Bungee jump with EV.
    The thing I like most about time is that it's not real. It's all in the head. Sure, it's a useful trick to use if you want to meet someone at a specific place in the universe and have tea or coffee- but that's all it is- a trick. There is no such thing as the past. It exists only in the memory. There is no such thing as the future. It exists only in our imagination. If our watches were truly accurate, the only thing they would ever say is "Now". That's what time it is. It's "Now". - Damien Echols

    No, the floor doesn't drop it just spins really fast, so fast you can hang upside down on the wall or 'stand' on the wall. I'm going before the EV pre-party and will request they play Spin the Black Circle while on it :).

    floor didn't drop out...the padded wall slides up a foot or so off the ground....

    it was the best, when teh jubilee came to town, monday's were all you can ride for 5 or 10 bucks. we spent most of the time in the gravatron and the bumper cars.

    until the last year....then we road the gravitron like 3 or 4 times real quick....haven;t been back on it since. :lol::lol:
