Spent the day at Rainbow's End theme/amusement park. Nothing special from US standards, but a couple of the rides were new to me. They had "bumper boats", big inner tubes with a small outboard motor (heh, I guess that would be "inboard" because it was in the hole) and a platform you sat on. Ramming into other people would cause a nice splash. Also a different form of a "spin you around and upside down" ride that I haven't seen anywhere before. Four seats (two pairs, back to back) on each of six arms, where the wheel of six arms spun around on it's axis and also moved around in the other directions. This ride was much calmer than I expected - yeah, you went upside down, but you never felt pushed around. Almost like being on a big swing.
As usual, see pictures here.
