Without a doubt, the Wild Boar has to be one of the wildest rides I've ever seen at faire. Not only does it swing back and forth, but the swivel located in the center (shown just below the foot of the operator in the photo, above: ) allows the Boar to spin around and around simultaneously at the same time. It certainly made the riders scream in delight (Photo, below: The Boar taking off on another wild ride)!
Yet another "child frightener" was the Sea Horse ride, (Photo, below). This one is more straightforward, along the lines of a giant swing. It still makes its riders scream and squeal, especially since the operator gets it going high and fast quickly! No one taking either ride seemed disappointed with their experience -- even if some of them had a bit of difficulty walking straight, afterwards!!!
