How to conquer amusement park and carnival games

I rarely play the games anymore. Used to play one at CP where you put quarters down on colors or a month/holiday and a ball is tossed. If it lands in the little box with your color/month, you won a medium sized stuff toy. I'm not even sure if they have that game anymore. If they do, I'm sure it's much more than 25 cents

I have great luck with the Guessing Game. They rarely guess my correct age. But at the $5 a crack now, the prizes aren't worth the money.

My son and I played Pachinko (sp?) at CP on our last trip. I won some mardi gras beads (should have seen my husband's face when I came home with THOSE), and my son won a stuffed dolphin.

Where do they have Pachinko Machines at in CP?!?!

Weird story, Walking through the crowd at the state fair midway(sat.) some guy came up to me and asked "What is the name of the guy who is Spiderman?" I answered him and he gave me $10. Maybe it was that dude from the game show oblivous (SP) new one on TNN? ----------------- Part of a Flight Attendant's arrival announcement: "We'd like to thank you folks for flying with us today. And, the next time you get the insane urge to go blasting through the skies in a pressurized metal tube, we hope you'll think of us."

That's what I was thikning. i saw the commicail for that. But wouldn't that have been on T.V. or atleast taped?

I hate Dippin' Dots

This is kind of my area, I worked in Games at CP this summer. I'm sure the only thing this guy has to say is common sense. there aren't any real "tricks" to the games (the ones at CP at least). The "Pachinko game" is called Scatter ball and is in the games midway on the way to DT and WT. It's on of the island games toward the end. The easest game to win, at least that's my take on it.

If I ever spend any money on games it's usually good ole.......SKEEBALL! Every now and then I will get a "wack a mole" urge. Arcades are fun, but the midway games I have never been good at, and won't pay the money to practice.

Coaster Counter: 85+...I need to sit down and figure it out :)

Here's a tip for Bank-a-Ball:

DO NOT throw the ball as hard as you can at the center of the backboard. This will result in a little girl in tears with a near black eye (as seen at SFOG). Parents, please make sure your son or daughter knows the objective of the game!
