Starcoasters.com has added photos highlighting the South Carolina State Fair, with a midway provided by Conklin Shows and Cumberland Valley Shows. The fair has 2 large coasters, a Schwarzkopf Doppel Looping, and a Schwarzkopf Wildcat.
Did you notice that there where TWO Giant wheels?
That's the same Schwarzkopf model as Dorney's Laser, right? I'd love to have one of those in my back yard.

Amusements of America, for instance, owned a decent portion of their midway, but booked in two or three flats and a Looping Star.
This year, the famous Re-Mix ride (which sent two people flying off it) was booked in by Wood Ent. of Texas.
I would love for them to book in a Log Flume.
That is the same model as Laser. What fun that one is, I just love all Schwarzkopf's rides. I hated when we lost Viper at SFoG but at least we still have Mindbender which is one of my favorites.

Jonathon- Great pictures of the fair! One quick correction, my information shows that the G-Force was sold to the carnival before Soriani & Moser parted ways, so it was manufactured by them, not Zamperla. Conklin does have one of the largest varieties of ride line-ups in North America and for the size of thier show the equipment looks pretty good, especially considering that this is the end of the season.
