New rides for the Stampede
Conklin is no more, 5 companies merged into one and now it's called North America Midway Entertainment. Could it be the end of the creepy looking clown that we have all grown up with on the rides? I just hope they still have that real cool DJ that runs the Polar Express or I'm writting a letter!

Omg, that clown scared the living sh*t out of me when I was 11. Scarred me for life. It's the one that's got the manical laughter right?

Good, there needs to be newer rides. The rides were getting repetitive.
I'm getting kind of sick of the Stampede though. It was more fun as a kid, that's for sure

oh comon, they have polar express as a top ten ride? WHERES THE ZIPPER?
anyways, stampede is the same thing every year though. pay 10 dollar admission or so, spend 30 dollars for a drink and something to eat. depending on who you go with (girlfriend/boyfriend, younger siblings, friends) you could spend so much money playing games, buying tickets ect.
then next thing you know, you're inside the casino...

I hate the stampede, but every year my wife drags me down so she can get her yearly fix of a corndog, a smashed spud, and them frozen dots (the ice cream of the future  ).
I used to go to the casino but the last time I walked in the top 2/3 of the casino was visible smoke from the smokers. I swear I lost one month of my life for every minute I was in there.

Midway is awful, I hate Carnies and the rides are ridiculously over priced, but the Chucks and rodeo are fantastic

It's in the basement of the Big 4 building. They take a big baked potato and make it very flat in front of you with a wooden mallet. Then add any combo of butter, sour cream, bacon bits, chives, chili, and cheese that you want. All for about $4. Pretty tasty actually.

Everything he said. Depends who is working sometimes you get to smash your own spud (potato debris everwhere).
