Has anyone seen the prices & hours for the carnival at the mall? How long will it be there?
quote:Insurance companies inspect the rides, however, I believe that each ride is only required to be inspected once per year, not at each location. The inspection certificates are then sent to the Texas Department of Insurance.
I've always wondered, who is responsible for inspecting this type of operation? I'm not taking about the food part, but the actual safety of the rides.

Also heard from some of the off-duty cops that I think the city hires for security that it is extremely stressful work because every carnival
worker and half of the patrons look shady/suspicious/creeper/pedi-van so
they are watching everyone as a suspect.

CREEPER ALERT !

Was one of them about 7 feet tall, taking pics of as many people as he could, and wearing an "I FTR'd the mall carnival for Yelp!" t-shirt? Just curious...

No way I'm letting my child get on something that came out of a semi and was assembled overnight. Only to repeat the process the next week somewhere else.

The same people whine, lament, and gnash their teeth about the carnival every year. If you don't like it, then don't go. I don't really like the nighttime crowds they have at those things so I typically take my kids and do the kiddie rides on an afternoon. They love it and have fun. Don't see anything wrong with it. You do typically get a much different type of crowd during the day than at night, I'll give you that. But if you're not out there going to the carnival I'm not sure how it affects you in any way.

When was the last time ANY of you heard about an accident on one of these carnival rides? In my 38 years of existence, I cannot remember a single time I have ever heard of one. But I can remember many stories of accidents and multi million dollar amusement parks

The state of Texas is one of most state who have no guidelines for safety and inspections of the rides.

Do people just make up stuff to sound smart?
