Rides at the Fair

  • THE KING XXL
    The King XXL towers over almost every other carnival ride on the midway (over 130 feet tall) and holds up to 20 passengers in 4 gondolas. Riders swing on a claw pendulum back and forth until  they reach the pinnacle of the ride at a 90-degree angle. One of the newest thrill rides only from Butler Amusements!
  • VERTIGO
    The Vertigo, manufactured by ARM, towers a full 100 feet in the air and seats 24 passengers. Each seat holds two riders who are secured by a lap restraint. Once the ride begins, the entire center twists in a circular motion. Riders enjoy a swinging sensation as the entire center track lifts up slowly until reaching the top of the ride. Once the swing ride reaches the top it begins to slowly swing in a descent.
  • CENTURY WHEEL
    A towering tradition of Butler Amusements, the majestic Century Wheel dominates the Midway day and night, offering patrons a sweeping view from a height of nearly 80 feet! Passengers are seated in separate gondolas and then whisked smoothly up, around, and down again, a motion reminiscent of the Ferris Wheel.
  • GIANT SCOOTERS
    A new innovation on a traditional ride, our Giant Scooters are state-of-the-art. Riders, seated in their “cars” begin a trip over a rectangular floor, bumping and dodging other drivers in their way! The Giant Scooters are a custom-built attraction – the first of its kind in the United States, available only through Butler Amusements.
  • SUPER SHOT DROP TOWER
    The world-class Super Shot Drop Tower is one of Butler Amusements’ most popular rides. Unlike any other ride on our mid-way, the Super Shot will bring a new dimension of thrills to your carnival goers. 12 passengers are loaded into each circular passenger station. Over the shoulder harnesses secure patrons while they are gently lifted up the 90-foot tower. Once the passenger station reaches the top, it is released in an accelerated freefall and riders experience G-Forces more than 3½ times normal. Riders are then cushioned by a magnetic braking system stopping the station before it reaches the base of the tower. The Super Shot is an exciting spectacular addition to the Butler midway.
  • ZIPPER
    The Zipper has been one of the Midway’s most recognizable attractions for years, providing thrills to riders from teens to adults. There’s more spinning going on with the Zipper than an out-of-control top. While the ‘cages’ holding two passengers each rise and descend on a tower boom, each spin independently and the entire boom turns, too. Three times the action, backed by spectacular lighting bringing them back for more.
  • MEGA FLIP
    The Mega FLIP, from Holland, lifts riders high into the air, 24 at a time. As the main boom swings back and forth, the base of six groups of seats begin to spin, giving the passengers a feeling of weightlessness while they soar through the air with their feet swinging free! This ride creates a thrilling, unforgettable experience for its riders and provides a spectacular show.
  • INVADER
    The Invader is one of the most exciting rides on the midway. Made in England it stands 45 feet high and has 6-4 passenger seats. Passengers sit in one of four on the outside edge of the ride. As the Invader begins to rise six sets of seats begin to spin. Up, down, and around passengers’ thrill to the sight and feel of the Invader.
  • SOUND WAVE
    The brand new Sound Wave is a spectacular bright ride on the midway and is a thrill to fairgoers. It is a platform ride that goes completely up and over in a circular fashion as riders leave their stomach behind. This colorful attraction is also energy efficient as it has been equipped with state-of-the art LED’s.
  • VIPER
    The Viper is a colossal, adrenaline-pumping ride with a striking green snake theme that promises an exhilarating experience! As the ride begins, the massive arm extends across the top of the ride, tilting and spinning in wild, unpredictable motions. At each end of the arm, two clusters of two-part seating spin independently, adding an extra layer of thrill as passengers feel the full force of the twisting action. The open-air design provides breathtaking, dizzying views as riders soar and twist high above. With a seating capacity for 24 passengers, the Viper uses state-of-the- art shoulder bars to keep everyone secure as they embark on this thrilling whirlwind journey.
  • WELCOME TO MY NIGHTMARE FUNHOUSE
    Passengers are invited to climb aboard coffin like carriages which seat two passengers at a time. When the operator engages the ride, passengers creep along a winding track which takes them to Welcome to my Nightmare Carnival. Complete darkness awaits riders as their carriage navigates twists and turns.

  • TILT A WHIRL
    Round and round they go and where they stop, nobody knows! An old favorite that has thrilled and excited patrons for generations, the Tilt-A-Whirl is a swirling experience for teens and adults. Separate cars rotate individually as the entire ride revolves up, down and around!
  • CROWN MERRY GO ROUND
    For decades, audiences have been awed by the beautifully handcrafted majesty of the carousel. This 28-foot Americana Themed Carousel features 18 jumping horses, and a chariots. Parents and children make memories while they enjoy the sights and sounds of this beautiful ride together!
  • WACKY WORM COASTER
    The Wacky Worm coaster is designed for the whole family. This two-level family roller coaster is a great way for the entire family to enjoy the carnival. This brightly painted worm, surrounded by flower cup lights, is a charming addition to the Midway.
  • JUMPING JUNGLE
    The Jumping Jungle Funhouse is a walk-through funhouse with a wild twist. Patrons can enjoy scenes from the jungle while negotiating obstacles. Unusual sights and sounds mixed with classic funhouse tricks make the Jumping Jungle fun for the entire family. The beautiful scenery and two stories of fun will attract all funhouse enthusiasts.
  • ELLA’S BOATS
    This kid ride features individual mini boats that float in water along a circular path. A great carnival ride for first timers!
  • PIRATE JET
    U.S. Passengers climb aboard and join an armada of six pirate ships, each capable of holding 4 children or 1 adult and 2 children per ship, while they gently rotate around a central friendly pirate character. Each ship sails up and down, simulating a trip on the high seas!
  • WACKY SHACK
    Step into the Wacky Shack—a zany, colorful fun house full of surprises! Navigate your way through quirky obstacles, unexpected twists, and laugh-out-loud turns. It’s a playful, high-energy adventure that’s fun for the whole family!
  • TOMMY KANGAROO
    Experience the graceful, gentle ride of a baby kangaroo carried in the safety of his mother’s pouch. Four Kangaroos welcome children and parents aboard for a smooth ride. Passengers sit inside each kangaroo and as the ride turns, each kangaroo slowly revolves as well.
  • FIREHOUSE
    The Firehouse is an all-time favorite to the little ones. Fun for the whole family. Featuring walk through punching bags, a cargo net climb and many more features will keep the littlest of visitors wanting to come back for more.
  • PUPPY ROLL
    Hop aboard the Puppy Roll, where four adorable puppies greet children and parents for a delightful, smooth ride! Each passenger controls the fun by turning a giant steering wheel inside the puppy’s belly, spinning themselves around while the entire ride gently revolves. This charming ride is the perfect introduction for young ride enthusiasts before they take on more exciting adventures like the Tilt-A-Whirl. Get ready for a tail-wagging good time!
  • CHOPPER HOPPER
    Kids of all ages can swirl and twirl through the air like a chopper flying daredevil. The Chopper Hopper is a family ride and boasts eight cartoon-themed helicopters. Each helicopter holds four passengers and is large enough to accommodate children as well as adults. The helicopters move up and down the center pole, and riders control the spinning action with a push of a button.
  • ROADSTERS
    The Roadsters is an exciting yet gentle ride, ideal for children who are just tall enough to enjoy carnival adventures. Featuring "souped-up" classic cars, each car seats two kids and travels in a slow, circular motion. Equipped with honking horns, kids can add a fun touch of excitement as they cruise around. With its easy pace and playful atmosphere, the Roadsters is the perfect introduction to carnival rides for young thrill-seekers!
