What old fair ground item are you buying?

[purplepoppy]

In local news this week Coney Beach fair ground has closed after 100 years and is selling off memorabilia to the public. Originally set up to entertain American troops during the first World war the locals kept it going but after a string off serious accidents and lack of investment the park recently closed.

So here's a selection of stuff that was up for grabs. What would you have bought and why?

Some signs

A mad hatter

A big head

A sarcophagus

A plastic horse

A pink elephant

They don't have a roller coaster like the one at Jantzen Beach, so I will not be buying anything from them.

I think that a sarcophagus would be pretty cool to have.
I don't know where I'd put one, but yeah, cool.

None, I don’t need anymore shit collecting dust. I need to get rid of shit, not collect more.

[RandomGirl42]

Oh! Oh! I want the pony!

[Iron_Man]

I’m buying one of those large very tall curved bottles with the sand in it different colored sand. And T-shirts and the plastic horse 🐎 plus I will get you whatever you want maybe a Coney Island beer with a large turkey leg 🍗

I'd buy a FARE sign and put it on the bedroom door. 😎

I would look for a fried dough machine or a popcorn popper.

Is that big slide still available?

[purplepoppy]

Probably

[DJB72]

Guy with one leg, giant slide... What could go wrong 😂😂

[purplepoppy]

One amusement Park near me had a slide that put quite a few kids in hospital

[DJB72]

Swansea? I used to stay in Mumbles every year as a kid. I recall a massive slide back then, but that might be because I was a little person at the time...

[RedInnocent69]

Any if those would be incredible, but I’d probably go for signs, easier to display or store, if not exactly practical 🤔😂
