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 kids will probably be disappointed if you don't rent the Spider Zone. This seems to be the favorite of kids of a certain age. It does not actually qualify as a ride however. It's a giant inflatable slide attached to a seven level climbing structure. The seven levels are completely enclosed with mesh for safety. The kids have to get to the top in order to access the slide.

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 similar to the Dragonfly, but only holds six riders at a time. It is a much smaller ride than the Dragonfly. There are controls in front of each rider. As the ride starts spinning, the operator tilts the ride. The riders can push the controls in different directions to make the ride go up, down, or backwards.

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 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.

Fall carnivals are a lot of fun and usually big successes. This is especially true when there are plenty of good rides, great food, and challenging games. They are usually big money makers as well. You will know you've succeeded if everyone has a fun and the school benefits.
