From Whimsical to OMG-What-Was-I-Thinking: A Ride Rundown
For the Faint of Heart (or those with a full funnel cake stomach):
QuickTip: Keep a notepad handy.
- The Dizzy Doozy: Don't let the name fool you. This teacup ride is about as wild as a spinning grandma on shuffleboard night. Perfect for calming those pre-fried-twinkie jitters.
- The Happy Hippo: A gentle carousel adventure featuring everyone's favorite land-dwelling water horse (because apparently, those exist?). Fun for the little ones, and a hilarious photo opportunity for adults who can still fit on a carousel horse.
For the Thrill Seekers (who like to keep their lunch down):
QuickTip: Look for lists — they simplify complex points.
- The Great American Scream Machine: It's a classic for a reason. This upside-down, inside-out, corkscrew monstrosity will have you questioning your life choices while simultaneously begging to ride it again.
- The Zipper: Imagine a giant metal zipper that yanks you up and down and flings you sideways. Now imagine it covered in flashing lights and questionable 80s music. That's The Zipper, folks. Buckle up.
For the Truly Fearless (or Completely Reckless):
Tip: Stop when you find something useful.
- The Catapult: This aptly-named ride blasts you straight up in the air, leaving you hanging weightlessly for a moment that feels like an eternity. Just don't think about the sketchy cough syrup-colored safety harness.
- The Tilt-a-Whirl: This carnival staple is a right of passage for any thrill-seeker. Just remember, the key to surviving the Tilt-a-Whirl is to strategically position yourself next to someone who packed a Dramamine chaser.
Don't Forget the Midway Classics!
Tip: Reread if it feels confusing.

- The Ferris Wheel: Because sometimes you just want to enjoy the view (and maybe puke discreetly over the edge. We won't judge).
- The Bumper Cars: Mayhem on wheels! Perfect for unleashing your inner road rage in a socially acceptable way.
Important Note: This is not an exhaustive list. There are more rides at the Georgia State Fair than questionable souvenir hats (and that's saying something).
How to Conquer the Georgia State Fair's Rides Like a Champ:
FAQ:
- How to avoid waiting in line for hours? Patience is a virtue, but strategically timed bathroom breaks and questionable life choices (like ditching your friends for the single rider line) can be your friends.
- How to survive a day of gut-wrenching rides? Pace yourself, grasshopper! Alternate between the thrill rides and something a little tamer (like funnel cake consumption).
- How to not lose your friends in the ride chaos? Matching t-shirts are always a good idea. Alternatively, agree on a meeting spot beforehand, like by that giant inflatable pickle nobody can figure out how to climb.
- How to prepare for the inevitable "I'm gonna throw up!" moment? Strategically placed napkins and a healthy dose of self-deprecation are key.
- How to maximize your fun? Embrace the absurdity of it all! Laugh at the questionable safety measures, sing along to the terrible music, and most importantly, don't take yourself too seriously.
So there you have it, folks! Your hilarious guide to navigating the Georgia State Fair's magnificent (and sometimes terrifying) world of rides. Now get out there, scream your lungs out, and make some unforgettable fairground memories!
