I'm not going to write a whole long Trip Report, so I'll just post pictures with captions explaining things. But here's the deal. Every year, the Staten Island Mall has a carnival, and this year we had a new Fair circut, so we went to go check it out. Dreamland Amusements, the emphasis of suck!
People
Me
Anthony, my twin brother
Cassie, his GF
Walter
Jackie
Kenny
Andrew
TJ
Kenny, Andrew, and TJ joined us when we were going to leave originally, so we stayed later. And then chilled after the fair

Here we are at Dreamland! I've waited my whole life to be here
(http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g33/CycloneMan/Dreamland%20Spring%2008/DreamlandAmusements2008_0002.jpg)
Anthony said this will be better than Tokyo DisneySea. It just seems so amazing!
(http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g33/CycloneMan/Dreamland%20Spring%2008/DreamlandAmusements2008_0011.jpg)
Uppon entering, Anthony and Cassie seemed very excited
(http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g33/CycloneMan/Dreamland%20Spring%2008/DreamlandAmusements2008_0006.jpg)
Wow! This really is better than Tokyo DisneySea
(http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g33/CycloneMan/Dreamland%20Spring%2008/DreamlandAmusements2008_0003.jpg)
This was the first Ring Of Fire any of us have ever been on. This one was called, "Fire Ball"
(http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g33/CycloneMan/Dreamland%20Spring%2008/DreamlandAmusements2008_0004.jpg)
They even had a Herschell Mite Mouse
(http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g33/CycloneMan/Dreamland%20Spring%2008/DreamlandAmusements2008_0005.jpg)
Which we'll come back to!
(http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g33/CycloneMan/Dreamland%20Spring%2008/DreamlandAmusements2008_0008.jpg)
This is Dream Catcher. You have to be dreaming to ride it! El Oh El, get it? LyKe ZoMfG!!11!
(http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g33/CycloneMan/Dreamland%20Spring%2008/DreamlandAmusements2008_0007.jpg)
I just love to eat at the Sizzler
(http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g33/CycloneMan/Dreamland%20Spring%2008/DreamlandAmusements2008_0012.jpg)
It took two guys to get Walter and Jackie off
(http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g33/CycloneMan/Dreamland%20Spring%2008/DreamlandAmusements2008_0013.jpg)
Cassie and I getting on
(http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g33/CycloneMan/Dreamland%20Spring%2008/DreamlandAmusements2008_0010.jpg)
Okay, so this Zipper was the most painfull, and scariest Zipper I've ever been on. I'm convinced that it hasn't been inspected since 1967
(http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g33/CycloneMan/Dreamland%20Spring%2008/DreamlandAmusements2008_0014.jpg)
They will never be the same again!
(http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g33/CycloneMan/Dreamland%20Spring%2008/DreamlandAmusements2008_0015.jpg)
Jackie seemed very nervous about the "Land Side"
(http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g33/CycloneMan/Dreamland%20Spring%2008/DreamlandAmusements2008_0017.jpg)
As did Walter
(http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g33/CycloneMan/Dreamland%20Spring%2008/DreamlandAmusements2008_0018.jpg)
The view from the top. This slide was scary as hell!
(http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g33/CycloneMan/Dreamland%20Spring%2008/DreamlandAmusements2008_0019.jpg)
It also hurt my butt
(http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g33/CycloneMan/Dreamland%20Spring%2008/DreamlandAmusements2008_0021.jpg)
This Fun House had no spinning barrel, LAME!
(http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g33/CycloneMan/Dreamland%20Spring%2008/DreamlandAmusements2008_0020.jpg)
The slide at the end did give Walter a little problem!
(http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g33/CycloneMan/Dreamland%20Spring%2008/DreamlandAmusements2008_0022.jpg)
Yay! The Mouse was testing, so we should run right on!
(http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g33/CycloneMan/Dreamland%20Spring%2008/DreamlandAmusements2008_0023.jpg)
Oh! What's this? Oh, just Anthony stuck on the block brake. Which is totally my fault. I got stuck on one of he brakes and they couldn't move my car, so they stopped the ride, and then they had to push my car back to the station, and then re-start the ride.
(http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g33/CycloneMan/Dreamland%20Spring%2008/DreamlandAmusements2008_0024.jpg)
Now the same thing happened to Anthony
(http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g33/CycloneMan/Dreamland%20Spring%2008/DreamlandAmusements2008_0025.jpg)
Oops...looks like Cassie is still going through the course
(http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g33/CycloneMan/Dreamland%20Spring%2008/DreamlandAmusements2008_0026.jpg)
Wait...never mind. She's stuck now
(http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g33/CycloneMan/Dreamland%20Spring%2008/DreamlandAmusements2008_0027.jpg)
Of course she's a great sport about it all!
(http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g33/CycloneMan/Dreamland%20Spring%2008/DreamlandAmusements2008_0009.jpg)
Starship 2000 is next
(http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g33/CycloneMan/Dreamland%20Spring%2008/DreamlandAmusements2008_0029.jpg)
Walter shows off how it sucks his belly in!
(http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g33/CycloneMan/Dreamland%20Spring%2008/DreamlandAmusements2008_0032.jpg)
They even had a House of Glass that the carnie wouldn't let me film in
(http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g33/CycloneMan/Dreamland%20Spring%2008/DreamlandAmusements2008_0035.jpg)
We got to credit whore on the Orient Express as well
(http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g33/CycloneMan/Dreamland%20Spring%2008/DreamlandAmusements2008_0044.jpg)
So, here's Jackie an I on the Mite Mouse. When we got on it, the ride lost it's brakes. I kid you not, there was an air faliure, and there were no brakes. They had to catch our car as it was leaving the station and hold it. About 15-20 minutes late, they decided to just let us go brakeless!
(http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g33/CycloneMan/Dreamland%20Spring%2008/DreamlandAmusements2008_0046.jpg)
"Owe owe owe owe"
(http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g33/CycloneMan/Dreamland%20Spring%2008/DreamlandAmusements2008_0047.jpg)
Flying into the brakes....that did nothing!
(http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g33/CycloneMan/Dreamland%20Spring%2008/DreamlandAmusements2008_0049.jpg)
Isn't the girl in the middle from Full House or something!?!?
(http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g33/CycloneMan/Dreamland%20Spring%2008/DreamlandAmusements2008_0033.jpg)
Okay...so Orbiter was AWESOME!
(http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g33/CycloneMan/Dreamland%20Spring%2008/DreamlandAmusements2008_0050.jpg)
Jackie and I on Orbiter
(http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g33/CycloneMan/Dreamland%20Spring%2008/DreamlandAmusements2008_0051.jpg)
"Cold! Cold! Cold! Cold!"
(http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g33/CycloneMan/Dreamland%20Spring%2008/DreamlandAmusements2008_0052.jpg)
Anthony was all alone on Orbiter becuse no one loves him
(http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g33/CycloneMan/Dreamland%20Spring%2008/DreamlandAmusements2008_0055.jpg)
Seriously, it was friggin awesome!
(http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g33/CycloneMan/Dreamland%20Spring%2008/DreamlandAmusements2008_0056.jpg)
Antony got Cassie to ride...but she was to ashamed to be seen next to him ;)
(http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g33/CycloneMan/Dreamland%20Spring%2008/DreamlandAmusements2008_0034.jpg)
Ah yea, back to the Fire Ball.
(http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g33/CycloneMan/Dreamland%20Spring%2008/DreamlandAmusements2008_0063.jpg)
The worlds largest Land Fill, seen upside down!
(http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g33/CycloneMan/Dreamland%20Spring%2008/DreamlandAmusements2008_0064.jpg)
Jackie doesn't seem too comfortable
(http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g33/CycloneMan/Dreamland%20Spring%2008/DreamlandAmusements2008_0062.jpg)
Though I loved it!
(http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g33/CycloneMan/Dreamland%20Spring%2008/DreamlandAmusements2008_0066.jpg)
Um...why is this person running from me?
(http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g33/CycloneMan/Dreamland%20Spring%2008/DreamlandAmusements2008_0067.jpg)
Oh, it's just TJ
(http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g33/CycloneMan/Dreamland%20Spring%2008/DreamlandAmusements2008_0068.jpg)
Ghetto wheel which you could NEVER get me on!
(http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g33/CycloneMan/Dreamland%20Spring%2008/DreamlandAmusements2008_0075.jpg)
I love fairs at night. They look so much better than they really are!
(http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g33/CycloneMan/Dreamland%20Spring%2008/DreamlandAmusements2008_0071.jpg)

(http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g33/CycloneMan/Dreamland%20Spring%2008/DreamlandAmusements2008_0072.jpg)
Untill Kenny stepped in front of the camera!
(http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g33/CycloneMan/Dreamland%20Spring%2008/DreamlandAmusements2008_0073.jpg)
I had to wrestle Andrew to get him in the shot!
(http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g33/CycloneMan/Dreamland%20Spring%2008/DreamlandAmusements2008_0074.jpg)
The whole group. Me, Andew, Kenny, TJ, Jackie, Walter, Cassie and Anthony

Dream Catcher + Sizzler + Zipper + Fun House + Orbiter = I gotta go.
The Zipper doesn't look that old. I haven't been on a good zipper in 6 years.
I passed up two cedits. I'm not a credit ho. Coasters don't need brakes. The eventually go uphill again.
