Carters Steam Fair, North London

The tallest ride at the fair is the Dive Bomber. A ride like a ranger with cars that can freely rotate taking you threw an exciting variety of angles as the ride goes round. One of the hi-lights of the fair.

Another classic ride is an Ark. It's like a Waltzer, but you ride in a chariot, or on wooden animals instead of in spinning cars.

This ride is more thrilling than it looks thanks to the unusual rocking motion created as you ride it, and the insecure feeling while riding the animals.

The main hi-light of the fair though has to be the Octopus ride.

It creates a great thrilling sensation when the pods
dive down towards the ground.

This is something you don't want to see when on a ride. Just before I took this photo he was holding a sledgehammer.

Another big attraction of the fair is a huge collection of classic funfair
machines in a giant penny arcade.
