Some of the major carnival attractions this year include:
The White Water Log Flume
One of only four in North America, the White Water Flume is one of the top rides on the midway. Boats race around the track with two large drops that may get the rider soaked!
The Mega Slide
The Mega Slide has 8 lanes that stretch 190’ long and stands 45’ tall at the launch pad. Traveling on two trailers, the ride is the largest domestic portable slide ever made. Speed is definitely a factor!
The Zyklon Coaster
An honest-to-goodness full-size roller coaster, the Zyklon will keep you coming back over and over again. The wildly exciting Zyklon is only two or three of this type of roller coaster traveling in North America!
The Giant Gondola Wheel
At night, the Giant Gondola Wheel is illuminated with more than 6,000 lights and is spectacular to view. Climb over 120 feet in the air and experience the panoramic view of Springfield and the Ozark Empire Fair!
Super Bumper Boats
It’s bumper cars on water! A refreshing addition to the Fair, cool off while you bring a bumper smack-down to your friends and family.
