Tell us about the time the fairground came to town and you were sick in a hedge; or when you went to a theme park or circus and were sick in a hedge

Or am I the only sad act in the northwest that went to Camelot and Gullivers World.
Camelot is fun, not only the thrils and spills (sometimes literally) of the rides but also the Lankyshire weather, Horizontal rain, Arctic wind. Then there are the delights of Gullibles World, a theme park for children and migets, in salubrous Warrington no less.
The traveling fairs were great in the 80's, Riding the Bars on the speedway, 4 up on the grasscutters with your fattest mate on the inside edge squashing everone in the carridge. Riding the Walters with the safety bar up. Good idiotic times.

in Derbyshire. As you say, it's for kids and those too scared to ride proper roller coasters (like, er, me).

No your not the only one! I went to both as a child (the tower of terror was ace!) there's also a gullivers theme park in Milton Keynes.
You didn't happen to go to Frontierland in Morcombe as well did you? I noticed that hadn't been mentioned either.
Edit: Forgot to mention a few years ago on the train ride at Gullivers the driver was killed when his head hit a tunnel. news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/beds/bucks/herts/6169610.stm
