Children's Rides
Dizzy Dragon - Brightly painted Dragons. A whirling delight for all ages. 45 ft across, the Dizzy Dragons can accommodate up to 20 adults or 24 children. The Dizzy Dragons offer spinning fun as these big friendly dragons take you round and round. You can even increase the speed of your dragon by turning his steering wheel for even more dizzying fun!
Round and Round and Round and Round!
Spring Ride - is an amusement ride that is under the category of drop towers. During the ride, the gondola will reach the top of the "tower". The gondola will then start to "bounce" up and down many times during the ride. These bounces can produce some minimal air time. Sometimes the gondola bounces will raise up and down about 3/4ths of the tower, and sometimes the bounces will only raise up and down a small fraction of the actual tower.
Berry-Go Round - consists of big, brightly colored strawberries. Each strawberry has carefully painted leaves and decals to make it look like the "real" thing. Vines cascading down each arm of the ride and a detailed center give this ride added appeal. The ride rotates in a large circle and the passengers control the spin of each individual Berry.
Younger children may choose to spin slowly while others may want to go fast...up to 30 RPM.
Hampton - Exciting magical combinations that range from cars, trucks and buses. The 30 ft ride gently carries children round & round in the vehicle of their choice! Always a favorite with the younger crowd!
Merry-go Round - A carousel (or carrousel) is an amusement ride consisting of a rotating platform with seats for passengers. The "seats" are traditionally in the form of wooden horses or animals, which are often moved mechanically up and down to simulate galloping, to the accompaniment of looped circus music. This leads to one of the machine's alternative names, the galloper. Other popular names are merry-go-round, roundabout and flying horses.
Fun Slide -The Fun Slide on the park's upper deck is a dry ride made slippery when mounted with potato sack seats. You can race your friend down or just slide down and have fun. People walk up the stairs to get to the top of this slide along with a mat, than sit down, and place the mat on the slide. They then slide down the slide. The ride will also say Fun Slide in lights at the very top of the slide. Not only that, but there will be triangles on both slides of the slide as decoration.
These are some of the rides that Triple Treat Shows use at fairs and festivals. This site makes no guarantees that these rides will be at the fair.
Adult Rides
Pharaoh's fury - Buckle into the Nile's turbulent boat ride that sends passengers to heights exceeding five stories, in this unforgettable swing-a-long. Swinging in an arc 54 feet high, the Pharaoh’s Fury takes passengers from horizontal to vertical at 39 feet per second.
Hurricane - Six 35 foot long arms are attached to a 40 foot tall central tower. At the base of each arm is a car carrying four people, in pairs sitting side-by-side. Riders are restrained by a locked lap bar, with no divided between the side-by-side riders. Most operators of the Hurricane require riders to be 42 inches tall or more, with smaller riders usually required to be seated on the inner seat of the cars.
The ride starts off at a slow spin, propelling the arms upward due to both centrifugal force and a series of pneumatic pumps housed in the centre shaft. The speed is increased until the cars are almost in line with the top of the tower. The operator will then begin to "bounce" the cars by releasing the compressed air contained in the six pumps, resulting in the cars dropping until both centrifugal force and pneumatic pressure restore the cars to their height. This is repeated multiple times, before the ride begins to slow down.
Round-up - is an amusement ride consisting of circular horizontal platform with vertical cage like wall around the edge. The platform is attached to a motor on a hydraulic arm. The ride starts out by spinning until the centrifugal force is enough to push riders against the wall. Then, the arm raises the horizontal platform to a vertical position in which riders, instead of spinning horizontally, are now spinning vertically.
The ride spins for a predetermined cycle until an automatic timer releases the hydraulic fluid from the arm causing the platform to return to its horizontal position. The operator may be required to manually control the spin of the ride such that the ride's exit aligns correctly with the exit gate. Most Round Ups require the rider to be at least 42 inches tall.
Paratrooper - also known as an "Umbrella Ride" is a type of fairground ride based on cars suspended below a wheel which rotates at an oblique angle. The cars are free to rock sideways and swing out under centrifugal force and the wheel rotates. Invariably, the cars on a paratrooper have an umbrella or other shaped canopy above the riders. In contrast to modern thrill rides, the Paratrooper is a ride suitable for almost all ages (except for infants and very small children).
Ferris Wheel - (also known as an observation wheel or big wheel) is a nonbuilding structure consisting of an upright wheel with passenger gondolas suspended from the rim. The Ferris wheel is named after George Washington Gale Ferris, Jr. He graduated from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and he was a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania bridge-builder.
Sizzler - The Sizzler is a unique ride in that it spins riders in two directions at the same time. As the center of the ride spins, its satellite sweeps rotate giving riders a SIZZLING experience! Just try to figure out what direction you are headed in! The SIZZLER is another major thrill ride. It features a spectacular color and light show and is 60 ft across. Riders are seated and safely secured in comfortable cars while the ride moves in a swift scrambling motion!
