New Attractions on the Midway

Fun Slide: The 100 foot Thomas Carnival Fun Slide is a perennial family favorite at the fair, and the carnvival has purchased a brand new model for the 2011 event. This one has a fancy L.E.D. lighting package from Fredericksen Industries of Tampa, Florida. The Fun Slide folds up neatly and travels on an all-aluminum trailer. Customers slide down the colorful ridge guided pathways on old fashioned burlap bags. Paul Atkins is the Fun Slide proprietor. Originally from Tea, South Dakota, he has been serving Thomas Carnival customers for four decades.

Mini Jet: Italy’s Zamperla Manufacturing built the Mini Jet.  It is designed for children and features 8 bold ships shaped like barrels melded into fantastic flying airplanes. The ride’s air compressor sends the ships hissing into the air for the imaginary trip over the fairgrounds. The crafts glide smoothly back down to the ground after a 90 second flight.

Fun Zone Fun House: This family walk through Fun Zone Fun House starts with fresh and friendly fun cartoon figures painted on the front’s façade. Inside, look for easy obstacles, visual tricks, spinning disks, and an exciting Barrel O’Fun at the exit.

Happy Face Bounce: Children under 42 inches enjoy jumping in the Thomas Carnival bounces. Our air supported jumpers feature Jumpin’ Beans and Happy Faces.

Mighty Thomas Gopher Golf: Nine holes of challenging miniature golf are included with each day’s wristband. See the tall red, orange, and blue canvas on top of the carnival caddy shack. Keep score and ask about weekly tournaments.
