carnival rides
Spinning fairground attractions
Carnival rides are the mechanical amusement attractions found at fairs, carnivals, and theme parks—Ferris wheels, roller coasters, merry-go-rounds, spinning teacups, and the like.
The term covers everything from gentle kiddie rides to stomach-churning thrill machines: We spent the afternoon on carnival rides until someone got sick.
