Seven New Thrilling Rides

Seven new rides – including three that are the only rides of their kind in North America – debut at the fair this year.

New at Mighty Midway:

• Downdraft: Get in, buckle up and get ready to ride the airwaves in a supersonic spin.
   
• Haunted Castle Dark Ride: Brave souls who embark on this darkest of dark rides will encounter two levels of animated spooks, sounds and lights. Constructed in Italy, this will be the largest traveling haunted attraction in North America when it makes its debut at the Minnesota State Fair.
   
• Rock Star: Hop on board for a rock and rollicking good time on this exhilarating 360-degree thrill ride that spins to 60 feet high.
   
• Super Frisbee: Nothing short of spectacular, this is the only traveling ride of its kind in North and South America. At 52 feet high, the gondola rotates at 20 revolutions per minute and free falls at 3.5 times the force of gravity.
   
• Twin Flip: Monumental, high-flying spins within spins – and in all directions – make this a unique ride in North America and a thrill-seeker’s dream.

New at Kidway (sponsored by DISH):

• Combination Carousel: This colorful ride takes tots on a spin merry-go-round style.
   
• Teacups: A calm rotating teacup ride amidst bright scenery and sparkling lights.
