Everyone loves summer. They look forward all year to the gorgeous weather, no school, and the endless fun of hanging with your friends whenever you want. There are many activities to do in the summer and one of them would be attending your state or county fair. I grew up in Bettendorf, IA which is a part of the Quad Cities. In the Quad Cities, the Mississippi Valley Fair is one week towards the end of summer which draws in a large crowd. The fair is something that people anticipate all summer long and can’t wait for the arrival of fair week. With the use of pathos, the county creates billboards, advertisements, attractions, entertainment and those amazing corn dogs and lemonades that emotionally appeal to the audience. All of these actions draw the audience in and create reasons for why they would want to attend the Mississippi Valley Fair. The audience could be the local county people, but they could also be anyone who has caught word or seen one of the many forms of advertisements from the fair. The fair interests many different people of all ages because of the unique …show more content…
The Mississippi Valley Fair not only has the Ferris wheel, but they also have some popular fair rides that create an atmosphere full of thrill. For example, the tilt-a-whirl and sling-shot are two popular fair attractions. These rides attract kids, which then attract their parents and ends up drawing in many families to the fairgrounds. The roller-coasters and fair rides are a great way to persuade people to come to the fair. Even just hearing the word roller-coaster, I can already feel my heart beat faster in anticipation for the huge adrenaline rush I get from the rides. The feeling of your stomach dropping and the wind blowing through your hair are two great feelings that I enjoy and I’m sure others do as well. These attractions appeal to people because of the thrill and excitement they

...the people of the US a glimpse of alien cultures that many of them had never heard of, much less seen and learned about. In a way, the fair was a cultural awakening for most of the people of the United States. Suddenly, people from Missouri could tell their friends and families that they had seen Camels, or men from Japan. 27 million people went to see the fair, the vast majority of them Americans. That was a little less than half of the population of the country at this time. That many people seeing cultures and people that many had never heard of would have caused a dramatic effect, transforming the people of this country into a more cultured, worldly people.

In 2012, the new CEO of Cedar Fair Entertainment announced a new Long Term Growth Strategic plan for the company. The plan is known as the FUNforward and financial goals for the Company. The CEO is headed in this direction because of the significant barriers to entry and a loyal high-repeated customer base as well as the significant momentum that they have created for the Company over the past two record-setting years (Rotting Flesh Radio RSS, 2012). For example, Kings Dominion is one of the largest theme parks on the East Coast and the loyalty of the younger generation is outstanding. The park is located in an area that is very convenient off of interstate 95. Most parents use the theme park as a baby sitter. They drop their kids off in the morning and pick them up in the afternoon after work. The park is so big and it caters to the younger generation and it adds a new ride every couple of years to make the park even more attractive to its customers.
The rides at The Pavilion are not as adrenaline rushing as the rides at Carowinds. Top Spin is a lot like a Ferris wheel and a boat in one. While one part of the ride is going
In the annals of World's Fairs, the 1901 Buffalo fair is listed, as a matter of record. However, it is one of the lesser-remembered fairs. This is not due to a lack of planning or physical appeal, but rather to the fact that on September 6, 1901, President William McKinley was shot and killed at the Temple of Music. This was the kind of event that is so infamous and carries such bad press that it condemns everything it touches, from the setting, the surrounding events, and the people involved, to the same black blanket of notoriety. Due to the President's assassination, the popularity of the Fair spiraled downward. Despite the deploring of the Fair, however, it was home to some remarkable buildings.

When I heard my parents talking about going to Disney World I was so excited. It was a long trip down to Florida and I could not sit still, because I was so excited. We finally arrived that evening and decided to stay in a hotel near the theme park. When it was time for bed I could not go to sleep for a long time, because I was so excited about going at Disney world. When I saw the big mirror ball from the entrance, I was amazed. Disney world had a wide variety of rides. There were tons of rides that shocked me. Some of these rides made you feel like you were riding in a jet because of how fast they were. There was even a roller coaster ride in the huge mirror ball. It was a slow ride, but I still liked it because there was air conditioning inside the ball. We spent all day at the park until we had ridden everything. That night Disney World had a firework show. The fireworks seemed like they lasted forever with the amazing colors bursting in the air one right after another. When the firework show finally ended my parents told me that it was time to leave. I was...

I have always been fascinated by carnival rides. It amazes me that average, ordinary people eagerly trade in the serenity of the ground for the chance to be tossed through the air like vegetables in a food processor. It amazes me that at some time in history someone thought that people would enjoy this, and that person invented what must have been the first of these terrifying machines. For me, it is precisely the thrill and excitement of having survived the ride that keeps me coming back for more.
