On the way to the bullfight we had taken a walk past the second section of the park so we knew what we had waiting for us after the bullfight.
First up was the Mega King Tower, which is a ridiculously tall drop tower ride that was making its début at the fair this year. I think it's from the German fair circuit and at 100 metres tall makes it pretty damn big. The ride was being superbly run with a super-efficient ride op group ensuring the ride was being run as well as can be. A loud soundsystem playing tracks like Darude "Sandstorm" and Martin Garrix "Animals" was deafening at ground level but couldn't be heard at the top.
A number of huge covered areas served as exhibitor spaces where you can get anything and everything including the jacuzzis that always appear at these things.

The covered area also housed a carousel and some other rides.
When we explored the fair prior to the bullfight we were going to walk around the exhibition hall to avoid the heaving crowd but Tal thought it would be a good idea to walk through it and we're glad he did as Wacky Worm #5 was in here.

Outside the fair was really busy, I guess the town come out at night as with most hot countries. In fact our receptionist in our hotel told us she was out until 2am enjoying the fair.
Wacky Worm #6 was less than 50 metres from the last one.
This one was called Manzana apparently. My wonderful rusty Spanish got the following using the following
"Como se llama es", then pointing to the ride.
Another Dragon next, this one had a great backboard with real head leering over the central helix. I think we were sent around this for more than 10 laps.
I've no idea why this game had this on the counter. If it was to attract people's attention then I guess it worked.
The next ride is one of those "is it a coaster or not" rides. This is a German model called a Bayern Curve which featured heavily on the fair circuit and some people call it a coaster, others say it isn't because it's powered. I'd like to count it but we'll wait for those who run the websites to decide.
Another Gus ride that we couldn't ride even with our "solo y solo y solo" line :(
Mark1 was another Zyklon ride but not as good as the one on the other side of the fair. The trains were the normal ones and no comparison to the those on the other Zyklon.
Overall the fair was pretty big and one of the largest that we can recall visiting. As an idea of size the distance between the Tsunami coaster and the King Tower was 1.8 miles and the fair took up a good chunk of that.
There were guys here looking like they were doing that scam where a black bag is filled with random items and sold at a cheap price and when you collect the bag they've switched it for rubbish. It was loud here and the sellers were competing with each others PA soundsystems.
We hit the second half of the park pretty quickly and were keen to get back to the hotel. The drive to Quiqueland had been a long one and it was important for the drivers to get some rest.
So that was day 3. 2 parks, 2 parts of a large fair and a bullfight. What would day 4 bring?
