Del Mar Fair!
For those of you in the San Diego area through the 4th of July, check out the Del Mar fair. I was overwhelmed by the sheer number of rides. Just about every ride imaginable...and 6 or 7 fun houses to boot. On top of that, 3 coasters! The Looping Star (a little painful), Wild Maus (spinning mouse that was quite fun), and the Hi Miler (see comments below).
Yes, the Hi Miler was well worth it! I would imagine it was built by Miler. It has steep drops and VERY sharp turns. Rickety as all heck. I was coming out of my seat on just about every drop. Wow! And the layout is unique and green color quite pretty.
Question: Does anybody know who manufactured the three coasters mentioned? Schwarzkopf, Mack, and Miler??? The first doesn't seem quite right...but perhaps built by a company that he was affiliated with at one point?
PS...I want the Hi Miler for my back yard! I'm going to check my Lottery numbers right now! If I win, y'all are invited! :)

Forget about it. It can't be THAT bad! *** This post was edited by janfrederick on 6/25/2001. ***

Spinning Mouse: Reverchon (almost the same layout as The Exterminator at Kenywood.)
Looping Star: Pinfari (crap)
Hi-Miler: Well, Mr. Miler, of course! (great little coaster!)
I also enjoyed the Del Mar Fair, but I'm STILL trying to get my equilibrium back from that Hard Rock spinny ride almost a week later!

Hey thanks! I agree with you totally. You have the option of getting spun in just about any direction conceivable. I'm not that big a fan of the flat rides, but the large ferris wheel with the view of the ocean is unbeatable. I'll be returning just to ride the Hi Miler.
