A Carnival Being an Amusement Park

Talk about anything that has to do with the amusement park industry here.

I have a feeling that this will get shot down very soon, but hear me out. Carnivals aren't really that bad as you all think they are. There are a lot of good rides at carnivals that you may or may not realize. Instead of a carnival going to place to place every week, why not a carnival or carnivals join up to become an amusment park.

Of course, this amusement park wouldn't have a lot of roller coasters because carnivals don't carry many. So, you are out of luck. In my opinion, this would be a great idea!!! I have looked at a lot of amusement parks (not Six Flags), and they just aren't that great. They have really old rides that are outdated, and aren't really that enjoyable.

So, these are my rides I would love to see at an amusement park that was a carnival. I'm including two carnivals by the way. One is Windy City, and the other is All Star (NAME). Of course, I do understand that this would probably never happen, but anyway.

The rides are:

WINDY CITY

Predator
Purple Zipper
Tilt-A-Whirl
Century Wheel (Big Ferris Wheel)
Gravitron
1001 Nachts
Pharoah's Fury
Super Sizzler
Himalaya
Fireball
Scooters (Bumper Cars)
Cliffhanger
Swinger (Swings)
Carousel
Bear Affair
Speedway
Balloons
2 Hampton Umbrella Rides
Flying Tea Cups
Raiders
Orient Express (Dragon Coaster)
Mini Enterprise
Fun Slide
Peter Paul (Dragons that go up and down.)
Fireman Fun House
Rio Grande Train
Spring Ride

ALL STAR (NAME)

Power Surge
Furerball
Spider
Convoy's (These are little 4X4's that go around.)

Also, how about adding a Galaxi, or a Zyklon coaster (Something in that order).

Technincally, they could still have another carnival going around (Windy City) if they wanted it to be this way.
It would be a Ferris Wheel (Eli 12 or 16), Tornado, Tilt-A-Whirl, Round Up, and a Red Zipper. The kids rides would be Submarines, 1 Hampton, Air Planes, Aladdins, Carousel, Wacky Shack, Dizzy Dragons, Super Slide, and Taxi Cabs.

^ Yeah carnivals are fun, its just that if the rides are $2.50 a piece like the on buy me is, you run out of money VERY VERY quickly.

I've never bought that reasoning, $55 dollar tickets to 6 flags (lets say $40 after discounts) and you need to ride 16 rides to make it $2.50 a ride, so i'll pay up to 7$ for sigle ride (like on a single roller coaster like avalanche or Daina Beach Hurricane)
I'd rather be riding the Voyage

I'd definetly like to see a cleaner looking Zipper run in an amusement park. And I don't mean a Chaos, the Zipper is way more insane.
