fairground rides
Spinning park entertainment
Fairground rides are mechanical amusements found at carnivals, fairs, and amusement parks, designed to thrill, disorient, or gently entertain paying customers.
They range from tame attractions like carousels and Ferris wheels to stomach-churning contraptions that spin, drop, or loop riders at high speeds.
The term encompasses both permanent installations at theme parks and portable rides that travel with seasonal fairs.
The kids spent all their tickets on fairground rides before we even got to the games.
