Midway Ride Models

The photos on this page were taken at the Great Buffalo Train Show on November 23, 2008. They show the midway of Amusements of Rochester, which is almost 15ft long, and has 27 rides, 25 of which were actually operating. An incredible amount of work has gone into this display, and it is always an attention getter at this show. With rides like Starship 3000 (Gravitron) Sky Diver, 2 Ferris Wheels, a Top Spin Wave Swinger, Zipper, the list goes on. The midway also features the usual games and food trailers.
