    Oh, a good old fashioned giant model train layout. i could stand there and watch it for hours. Couldn't be said about the double ferris wheel though. With shame i say i'd throw up. But it is an amazing contraption, and i'm so glad you showed it and rode it with Zach. Also nice that they had a more easy section for smaller children on one side, and a wilder section on the other side.
    Very good State Fair, and looking forward to some others this week. But Jacob, don't overdo yourself, keep safe, walk straight and show us some fun in good health.

      At one time the Iowa State Fair just had a single midway where the double ferris wheel is.
      I think they had farm equipment displayed where the kids rides are at. Been since 1982 that I have been there. Moved to Arizona that year. State fair here is nothing like Iowa's.

    The “double Ferris Wheel” is a Skywheel which debuted in 1939 by the Alan Herschell Co. Chance Manufacturing took over production in 1970 but the ride has been out of production for a while, with only a few carnival shows offering them due to travel and maintenance costs.

    ❤ I am originally from Iowa and always enjoyed the state fair. In 1982 we moved to Arizona and I miss it so much.
    You did justice to it. With it being such a large fair you seemed to cover it quite well.
    I used to be a seasonal worker for about 6 years and was employed in the Administration Building as an announcer for various things and was amplified over the fairgrounds.
    I am so glad that they had the double ferris wheel there. I rode on it when I was either 10 or 11 with a buddy of mine. We enjoyed riding but felt it was intense as well. That was the one and only time I ever rode it.
    I hope that sometime I can make another visit to the Iowa State Fair.
    God bless

    I Believe, Jacobe, you found the lost double ferris wheel ride, the best, most awesome ferris wheel ride in the world. Their use to be one at Cedar Point in Sandusky Ohio, as you first walked in, it was down a little on the entrance midway. The most awesome ferris wheel ride in the world. I loved it as a child, and was really cool at night time. The ride through fun house really needs to be better, there getting to be a real rip off. Usually when I did not have someone to ride with me, because they were scared of the ride, I would tell the man at the ride, he would yell out any single riders hear and always got me on a ride, you are not the only one looking, and I bet after a short wait you would get on, and who would not want to pass up a chance to ride with the carpetbagger.

    You helped me solve a mystery. My dad grew up not far from Des Moin. Well when I was a kid he always loved the double ferris wheel and he would always look at me and say " come on Deb let's go ride it" it was the only ride he ever told me that, and we are talking out of major theme parks WDW MK, Disneyland, Knotts , Busch gardens etc... So I would take a deep breath and go with him, and at the KS State Fair in the 70s and early 80s we had two double ferris wheels right beside each other, so we would get on my dad was a great dad the best I was trying not to show my fear.. when that ferris wheel has you at the very top and brings you clear down to the bottom, this girl thought we were free falling I had a death grip on that bar, I was never so happy to get off that ride my dad would ask wasn't that fun, I bravely smile and say yeah dad that was great. Lol. So his love for that ride originated in his home state fair! I am impressed you got on that, especially since they had to tighten it up and send it for a few loops to make sure it stayed tight. I so hope your coming to ks would love to meet ya, oh if you are coming don't come on 9/11 that is dillion dollar day and it is crazy crazy busy, but any time during the week is great. Stay safe on those roads and continue the great work! You too sweet Jenny is going to love her stuffed fluffy butter cow!

    I first rode one of the double Ferris wheel in the 70's as a kid at The Pike amusement park in Long Beach. It scared the crap out of me.

    I've seen a double ferris wheel only once in my life, and that was in a large carnival in Wallingford, CT. back sometime in the mid to late 1870's and sadly, I didn't get the opportunity to ride it. I was probably six or seven years old. My parents were really really mean. My parents didn't ride rides at all. They hated carnival and theme park rides. And the carnival wouldn't let me ride it alone, and no one in the line would ride it with me. This is the literal first time I've seen one since then. This ride looks a lot newer and a bit smaller than the one I remember. I think the one that I saw had more seats on it and the wheels were bigger. I seem to remember each wheel on the thing being the same size as a normal ferris wheel. But then again, I may be remembering this through the foggy memory of being a six or seven year old, when everything seemed bigger. I do remember that the seats on the 70's one were different than these seats. This ride looks like it was built out of legos mixed with an Erector set. And yes. You can guess from my comment here that absolutely would JUMP at the chance to ride one of those. Flat rides are a bit of a hobby of mine.

    That whole deal about "Our fair is a great state fair, don't miss it don't even be late" is from an old movie called...what else? "State Fair." It actually has a tie in to an episode of Mash.
