Carnival:

Our traveling show, The Mighty Thomas Carnival, presents thrilling rides, fun games, and tasty carnival treats at Montana ExpoPark for the 27th straight year.

The Beach Party:

The Beach Party, a two-level walk-through, laugh-throughout, funhouse makes its first appearance at State Fair this year. Built by Owen Custom Trailers in California, the Beach Party features bright yellow and blue scenery, wacky obstacles, and a walk-through spinning barrel that evokes the roiling waters of an incoming tidal wave. Harken to cries of "surf's up!" and have your sunscreen ready!

The Star Tower:

The Star Tower is a gentle but thrilling 90-foot chair swing ride, with many hundreds of color-shifting LEDs combining to create mesmerizing, ever-changing light displays that tower above the fairground. This attraction accepts wristbands and regular carnival ride tickets. Star Tower is popular for selfies-everyone takes a photo with their riding partner.

Black Out:

And joining us in the extreme ride genre-the exhilarating Black Out. The Black Out made its continental U.S. debut last year, and is only for those with a sense of adventure! On this mega attraction, twelve passengers are secured into gondolas that rotate and flip as the central arm launches them up, up - and over! The ride swings up to a highpoint of 80 feet in the air and makes a complete circle as it swings back down in the other direction.
