Uggh,  this crap infuriates me every season.  Yes, focus on the traveling carnivals and fairs.  Thats fine.  But to put federal oversight on fixed rides would be a disaster.  Geez, next thing you know I'll be arrested for spanking my kid in my own house... OH, WAIT.. whats that??? Oh yeah, freaking Mass. has a bill on the table to make that a law.  Oh Canada  here I come!!

I feel confident in the safety of Gadv's rides. Heck, as soon as my nephew Daniel hits the magic 54" mark, i'm going to take him to the park for a day of fun. I wouldn't do that if i felt the rides there were unsafe.
