Ooooh, the fair's moved

[moribund]

Have a look here

It's moved next to the esses between the Dunlop bridge and Tertre Rouge. Is there enough flat ground to fit the ferris wheel in?

Bizarre, the wheel appears to be in the same place it has been for the last few years?

[moribund]

Ahhh... you're right, I didn't notice the little wheel icon. So is it going to be on its own, with the fair moved to just down from the stage? Sort of makes sense to have a music/party area I guess.

Back where it used to be, good stuff.

[fatboy18]

That's where the fair used to be years ago

[DS240]

There has been fairground equipment in both places the last few years.

[gt6]

The fair moved from tertre Rouge years ago, the concert area now occupies most of that space. For the last few years there has been very little left of the funfair and unless the concert is moved the remaining space will be very limited.

[gt6]

I just had a look at the link, and according to that the funfair is on the new banking which slops down at quite an angle, I therefore think it is very unlikely to be there, also the picture shows a type of funfair that has not existed at Le mans for well over 10 years.

When the fair was previously down near the esses, they used to have a rather interesting attraction involving a number of very attractive young girls, who demonstrated all sorts of aerobic type dances while their clothes fell off on stage to loud music. Unlike the other attractions, you didn't get a ride, but you kinda wished you could! Anyone else remember it and, more importantly, can you confirm its return this year? The best 5 euros I ever spent, I recall.

The last time I stayed in Tetre Rouge would have been around 2003 and there was part of the fair there with the most annoying bloke on a tannoy running a ride where you freefall over a big fan. You don't go to LeMans for a quiet night, but this bloke needed a thump. That year someone wrote of a new Range Rover when he hit a tree doing about 50mph in the campsite!
And for the record, at LeMans years ago they even had the 'worlds fattest lady' tent!

[gt6]

I remember the french chap with the upward fan, I think someone had told him what to say in English but he had no idea what he was actually saying, and was therefore informing everyone that he and they indulged in some very dubious sexual activities.

It was funny at first but after a few hours you began to think of how to shut him up. That year he was about the only part of the funfair left at tertre rouge and there has been nothing but food/drink stands since.

I always enjoyed the shooting galleries which actually gave you shot guns with real cartridges (not very powerful but still real). Big bertha the large lady died about ten years ago it was reported in many of the national papers in france.

Fair is back where it should be.....but I suspect the "ladies" tent won't be making a return.....

One of my mates paid so many visits in the late 80s that one of the 'ladies' gave him a pube as a souvenir

[bernhund]

I remember the shooting gallery too. It was definitely live ammunition shotguns! One year I saw a pissed up fella wearing a vikings helmet swinging this gun about all over the place. The fellas that run those stools were not to be messed with, so luckily I didn't see what happened to our viking!
