All of the thrills of the Festival of Fisher’s Ghost are back bigger and better than ever before, with a 35-metre high ferris wheel making its debut in Australia as part of this year’s carnival attractions at Bradbury Oval.
The ferris wheel has joined a list of other rides that have been giving local thrill-seekers an exciting taste of the city’s festival atmosphere since Saturday.
With names such as Power Surge, Extreme Speed and Kamikaze, the carnival’s scariest rides are not for the faint-hearted.
For those who prefer a quieter pace, the family and kids rides certainly won’t disappoint.
Make a splash on the Pirates Revenge, get giddy on the ever-popular Wave Swinger or enjoy the Super Slide or Dodgem Cars. The littlies can enjoy Fantasy Cup, a Bungy Trampoline or the jumping castle.
The carnival is operating over the two weekends of the festival, having kicked off last Friday.
Opening hours for the second weekend will be as follows:
Friday, November 7 – 6pm to 11pm;
Saturdays, November8 – 2pm to 11pm;
Sunday, November 9 – 2pm to 9.30pm.
The second festival spectacular fireworks display will be held 9pm on the Saturday night.
The carnival has more than 20 different rides to choose from and features a variety of amusement games, showbags and food. The monster truck is also back!
Entry to the carnival is free, however, there is a cost for rides and food.
Mayor of Campbelltown, Cr Paul Lake, said the carnival was a huge attraction that lived up to its fun-filled reputation.
“The carnival brings excitement and fun to our city’s largest community celebration, and is a major drawcard that continues to appeal to people of all ages from across our region and beyond,” Cr Lake said.
“Ride or slide – the choice is yours, but be prepared for some huge thrills and lots of fun.”
