The Great Dorset Steam Fair, 2009

One of the great things about the fair was how spectacularly decorated most of the rides were. Here is a spectacular looking Waltzer.

You can't quite make out that blue sign, but it says "No Alcohol No Drugs". Surely if your in a mindset where you would risk taking drugs or alcohol on a fairground ride your not going to pay any attention to that sign.

A spectacular looking Jump n Smile ride.

As well as the mouse coaster there was this small well decorated kids coaster.

A very well decorated Tagada ride. I'm not sure if all those images from the late 80's are deliberately retro, or if it's an old ride that's been well maintained.

Another well decorated ride called the Superbowl.

It features Waltzer like spinning cars on this large tilting spinning disc.

Another example of some great airbrush art was found on this Matterhorn called the Midnight Express.
