Selecting The Best Rental Carnival Rides For The Next School Fundraiser

By Robert Patterson


When you have been elected chairman of the annual fundraiser for your child's school, you have to think of something that adults will spend money on and kids will have fun doing. Fall carnivals can be great for raising lots of money. You can give committee parents the responsibilities of getting the food and games while you concentrate on picking the right rental carnival rides to maximize the fun and the profits.

The number one ride right now seems to be what some call the Spider Zone. This isn't actually a ride at all. It's a huge inflatable slide. Kids have to climb through a seven level, mesh enclosed, structure to get to the top of the slide. Multiple children can climb at one time, making this a great option for an event with a lot of kids in attendance.

The Dragonfly is another ride kids love. If you have ever been to a state fair, you've seen this ride. Riders sit in the Dragonfly, which starts spinning slowly and speeds up quickly. As it goes faster, the seats start to pull out from the center. Thirty riders can enjoy the Dragonfly at one time.

The Six Spin is somewhat like the Dragonfly, but doesn't take up nearly as much space and holds fewer riders. There are six single seats. Each rider has controls, and as the ride speeds up, the operator tilts it. The ride will begin to go up, down, and backwards as the riders push the controls back and forth.

Turbo Tubs are great for little riders because there is room in the tubs for parents. As the ride spins riders have the option of spinning their own tubs or locking them in place. The spinning action is sometimes too much for little kids. It's the option to spin or not that makes it a perfect ride for the littlest children.

Meltdown is a game for the older elementary school kids. There are eight players, each with his or her own podium. As they stand on the podiums, two arms start spinning and will knock the players off the podiums unless they can time a duck or jump just right. It takes agility, stamina, and quick reflexes to stay on the podium. The last player standing is the winner. This game can take awhile, especially if the players are good at what they are doing.

It would not be a fall carnival without the mechanical bull. This is a ride that adults love as much as kids. You need to make sure the bull you rent is adjustable according to the age and size of the rider. The bull should only gain speed and buck hard with the biggest kids.

You're sure to have a hit on your hands when you plan a fall carnival complete with fun rides, challenging games, and good food. It should bring in an impressive amount of money. In the end, if everybody has fun and the school benefits, the work you did will be well worth it.
