Trip Report: City of Fun Carnival, Nephi, UT (7/17/2020)

Posted by

After going to Palisade Park, it was time to go to my first carnival of the year! Now with all the irrational panic of 2020, sadly most carnivals got cancelled — which is heartbreaking, as carnivals are one of the staples of summer. So, when I saw that City of Fun was going to Nephi, I realized that I had better jump on it, because who knows when I would get another chance. And this ended up being a really good idea, because they did get cancelled before moving to their next destination. 🙁

This was my first trip down south to Nephi. It’s a VERY rural town, with a lot of cows. I bought a few tickets and should have worn more ghetto shoes.

Sorry about my finger lol. But the conditions were right for a summer thunderstorm.
Can’t do this as a single rider 🙁 and since I was visiting the carnival alone, no mini-Star Flyer for me.

Also, visiting alone was super awkward because there were only like 10 people in the carnival the entire time, not counting the employees. They wouldn’t let me ride unless there were other passengers, too, so I couldn’t ride Spin-Out and had to wait to ride the Fireball. The guy operating the Scrambler was super cool, though I ended up bursting my water bottle (because it was in the pocket closest to the edge of the seat) and spilling it all over the place.

This was really fun!
These guys were tools and wouldn’t let me ride Fire Ball until a group of people showed up.
I never ride these, unless I have an unlimited ride wristband and all day. They make me feel like my chest is getting crushed.
COW
Positive aspect of an almost empty carnival…They let me ride this for a really long time! It just kept going and going and going 🙂
Another shot of the mini-Star Flyer that I couldn’t ride.

This was the ground. Gravel, and dust. Quite gross.
Looking back at the fun little carnival…
What a great (if short) trip! I had fun! Though it was a little bit awkward going solo with so few people there.
