The Great Dorset Steam Fair, 2009

This ghost train has to have some of the best airbrush art I've ever seen.

This funhouse looks unassuming, but it if you look at the back of the lower floor it has one of the most evil obstacles ever. It's a very steep slide, leading on to a wave shaped conveyer belt, made of strips of wood. Just sitting on top creates a real thought of should I do this. On being carried along and thrown around the belt it's a case of; ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch. Then at the end your thrown of the belt on to a crash mat below; OUCH!

This is another one that's painful to ride. The amount of G-Force created from the spinning is at such an intense level that you get pains in your feet from where the blood swells up in your feet.

This is a scary ride known as the KMG Tango. It has a star shaped arrangement of seats, like the Samaria at Thorpe Park, only there's two rows of seats sitting back to back. The arm then lifts up to a vertical level, that sees you spinning around wildly, very high in the air.

Yet another of the many major thrill rides at the fair.

If the Tango ride didn't go high enough for you, you could always try the highly popular booster ride.

One of the many prize stalls found at the fair.

There were a number of fun houses at the fair, including this very nicely decorated one.
