I'm not going to write a whole long Trip Report, so I'll just post pictures with captions explaining things. But here's the deal. Every year, the Staten Island Mall has a carnival, and this year we had a new Fair circut, so we went to go check it out. Dreamland Amusements, the emphasis of suck!

 

People

Me

Anthony, my twin brother

Cassie, his GF

Walter

Jackie

Kenny

Andrew

TJ

 

Kenny, Andrew, and TJ joined us when we were going to leave originally, so we stayed later. And then chilled after the fair

 

Photos

I don't have a camera, so these are all video stills

Here we are at Dreamland! I've waited my whole life to be here

 

DreamlandAmusements2008_0002.jpg

Anthony said this will be better than Tokyo DisneySea. It just seems so amazing!

 

DreamlandAmusements2008_0011.jpg

Uppon entering, Anthony and Cassie seemed very excited

 

DreamlandAmusements2008_0006.jpg

Wow! This really is better than Tokyo DisneySea

 

DreamlandAmusements2008_0003.jpg

This was the first Ring Of Fire any of us have ever been on. This one was called, "Fire Ball"

 

DreamlandAmusements2008_0004.jpg

They even had a Herschell Mite Mouse

 

DreamlandAmusements2008_0005.jpg

Which we'll come back to!

 

DreamlandAmusements2008_0008.jpg

This is Dream Catcher. You have to be dreaming to ride it! El Oh El, get it? LyKe ZoMfG!!11!

 

DreamlandAmusements2008_0007.jpg

I just love to eat at the Sizzler

 

DreamlandAmusements2008_0012.jpg

It took two guys to get Walter and Jackie off

 

DreamlandAmusements2008_0013.jpg

Cassie and I getting on

 

DreamlandAmusements2008_0010.jpg

Okay, so this Zipper was the most painfull, and scariest Zipper I've ever been on. I'm convinced that it hasn't been inspected since 1967

 

DreamlandAmusements2008_0014.jpg

They will never be the same again!

 

DreamlandAmusements2008_0015.jpg

Jackie seemed very nervous about the "Land Side"

 

DreamlandAmusements2008_0017.jpg

As did Walter

 

DreamlandAmusements2008_0018.jpg

The view from the top. This slide was scary as hell!

 

DreamlandAmusements2008_0019.jpg

It also hurt my butt

 

DreamlandAmusements2008_0021.jpg

This Fun House had no spinning barrel, LAME!

 

DreamlandAmusements2008_0020.jpg

The slide at the end did give Walter a little problem!

 

DreamlandAmusements2008_0022.jpg

Yay! The Mouse was testing, so we should run right on!

 

DreamlandAmusements2008_0023.jpg

Oh! What's this? Oh, just Anthony stuck on the block brake. Which is totally my fault. I got stuck on one of he brakes and they couldn't move my car, so they stopped the ride, and then they had to push my car back to the station, and then re-start the ride.

 

DreamlandAmusements2008_0024.jpg

Now the same thing happened to Anthony

 

DreamlandAmusements2008_0025.jpg

Oops...looks like Cassie is still going through the course

 

DreamlandAmusements2008_0026.jpg

Wait...never mind. She's stuck now

 

DreamlandAmusements2008_0027.jpg

Of course she's a great sport about it all!

 

DreamlandAmusements2008_0009.jpg

Starship 2000 is next

 

DreamlandAmusements2008_0029.jpg

Walter shows off how it sucks his belly in!

 

DreamlandAmusements2008_0032.jpg

They even had a House of Glass that the carnie wouldn't let me film in

 

DreamlandAmusements2008_0035.jpg

We got to credit whore on the Orient Express as well

 

DreamlandAmusements2008_0044.jpg

So, here's Jackie an I on the Mite Mouse. When we got on it, the ride lost it's brakes. I kid you not, there was an air faliure, and there were no brakes. They had to catch our car as it was leaving the station and hold it. About 15-20 minutes late, they decided to just let us go brakeless!

 

DreamlandAmusements2008_0046.jpg

"Owe owe owe owe"

 

DreamlandAmusements2008_0047.jpg

Flying into the brakes....that did nothing!

 

DreamlandAmusements2008_0049.jpg

Isn't the girl in the middle from Full House or something!?!?

 

DreamlandAmusements2008_0033.jpg

Okay...so Orbiter was AWESOME!

 

DreamlandAmusements2008_0050.jpg

Jackie and I on Orbiter

 

DreamlandAmusements2008_0051.jpg

"Cold! Cold! Cold! Cold!"

 

DreamlandAmusements2008_0052.jpg

Anthony was all alone on Orbiter becuse no one loves him

 

DreamlandAmusements2008_0055.jpg

Seriously, it was friggin awesome!

 

DreamlandAmusements2008_0056.jpg

Antony got Cassie to ride...but she was to ashamed to be seen next to him ;)

 

DreamlandAmusements2008_0034.jpg

Ah yea, back to the Fire Ball.

 

DreamlandAmusements2008_0063.jpg

The worlds largest Land Fill, seen upside down!

 

DreamlandAmusements2008_0064.jpg

Jackie doesn't seem too comfortable

 

DreamlandAmusements2008_0062.jpg

Though I loved it!

 

DreamlandAmusements2008_0066.jpg

Um...why is this person running from me?

 

DreamlandAmusements2008_0067.jpg

Oh, it's just TJ

 

DreamlandAmusements2008_0068.jpg

Ghetto wheel which you could NEVER get me on!

 

DreamlandAmusements2008_0075.jpg

I love fairs at night. They look so much better than they really are!

 

DreamlandAmusements2008_0071.jpg

I just love this shot I got of Anthony and Cassie in front of the Fire Ball

 

DreamlandAmusements2008_0072.jpg

Untill Kenny stepped in front of the camera!

 

DreamlandAmusements2008_0073.jpg

I had to wrestle Andrew to get him in the shot!

 

DreamlandAmusements2008_0074.jpg

The whole group. Me, Andew, Kenny, TJ, Jackie, Walter, Cassie and Anthony

The Burlington Farm Fair has most of those rides except the coasters but they use Majestic Midways. That is gross that had a brake run right behind the Port-a-johns, ick.
