Picking Rental Carnival Rides That Will Complement Your Fund Raising Activities

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 ride that seems to be the favorite of all the kids right now is not even an official ride. It's called the Spider Zone, and it is actually a huge inflatable slide with a multi-level climbing structure attached. Children climb through seven levels, all mesh enclosed, to reach the top of the slide. A number of kids can play on the Spider at one time making it a good option for events with a crowd of children.

Another ride that's sure to please the kids is the Dragonfly. This is going to be familiar to anyone who has ever gone to a state fair. Riders take their seats, and the ride begins slowly and quickly gathers steam. The faster it goes the farther out the seats go from the center of the ride. The Dragonfly is designed to take thirty riders at a time.

The Six Spin has some similarities with the Dragonfly, but it will not hold as many riders. It requires much less space than the Dragonfly. There are six seats with one rider each. Every rider has controls. When the Spin speeds up, the operator gives it a thirty degree tilt. The riders make the ride go backwards, up, and down by pushing the control bars back and forth.

You want to make sure there are rides for the youngest students. The Turbo Tub is a fun ride that little ones can get on with or without their parents. The ride spins in a circle, and the riders can spin their individual tubs or lock them so they do not spin. This gives parents the option of deciding how much of a ride their kids can handle.

Meltdown is an action game rather than a ride. Eight people can play at one time. The players stand on individual podiums, and two foam spinning arms try to knock the players off balance. To avoid the arms players have to duck or jump. This is a game that requires agility, stamina, and quick reaction times. It's not for little kids, and the game can take awhile to play if the participants are good at it.

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.

A fall carnival, well planned, will be a big hit with everyone who attends. As long as there is plenty of food, challenging games, and fun rides, the profits will be impressive. More importantly, everyone will have enjoyed themselves, and the school will benefit.
