Nola does large events pretty well. It’s the only redeeming quality.

I remember riding the Ferris wheel and the gondola over the river.

Begged my parents and they were having none of it.

I remember it. It was really fun. As close to a Major theme park as we’ve ever had. The gondola rides over the Mississippi River was cool.

I remember me and my brother being terrified riding the gondola over the river. That thing was high in the sky

I was 12. The only fun thing I remember is the gondola over the river. Everything else at that age was torture.

Had the tallest or largest Ferris Wheel in the World. Saints great Hokie Gajan got married at the top of that Ferris wheel.

Man that pelican logo really brings back memories. I wish I could experience it as an adult to see if it was really as big as I remember

I was young too, around 7 years old. I remember playing in a kids car wash and a pirate ship that went upside down

Should have been the Pelicans mascot IMHO
I still have a Seymore stuffed animal in my office that I got from the fair

... but I never rode that cable car crap across the river. It kept jamming up.

I had a 84 expo themed yo-yo, and I remember the gondola across the river.

I was at that biotch and rode the gondola across the river.
