This monopoly in­ flates prices to the "six-figure area," Skinner said. For example, a new ride called the Hurricane cost $185,000, she said. A children's Ferris wheel cost about $40,000. Skinner estimates it takes about eight hours to assemble a dozen rides and four hours to take down. "It takes two men one to two hours to assemble a ride," Maurice said. "In the old days one ride took up to five or six hours with six men." The rides are mounted on trucks to­ day, he added, and are hydraulically operated: They use electricity, not gasoline.

"People go to carnivals more than they used to." The most popular ride remains the Tilt-O-Whirl, a twirling, half-moon cage on a wavy track, Skinner said. There is room for the whole family. The senior Skinner said he has re­ mained in the business because of the people. "You meet a lot of friends," Maurice said. "It takes the monotony out of it." Fair features
