The Pride of Texas carnival is already underway. As always, the show will be set up adjacent to the Victoria Community Center. This year's carnival will run through Sunday, March 2nd.
Here are two options on how you can enjoy the rides: You can ride all the rides you want for $30 with a wristband. If you prefer, you can purchase ride tickets for $1 each and rides are 4-5 tickets.($4-$5 dollars each).
Check out a few of the rides that are setup in Victoria.
KAMIKAZE: This falls under a classic carnival ride. However, I remember it being blue and white.
STORM: This ride is a no for me, dog. Be prepared to get super dizzy and possibly sick.
NO-LIMIT: This is a premium ride and will require additional tickets even if you have a wristband. On a side note, there is a weight limit, which I went over. I was denied entry to this ride.
THE SEA RAY: This one is super colorful with super bright LED lights.
THE CLIFFHANGER: No duct tape on this one.
THE FERRIS WHEEL: Over 50’, guests will get a birds-eye view of the surrounding area!
VERTIGO: Side note, this ride will not fly on a super windy day.
THE PUPPY ROLL: The Puppy Roll is a family ride. It has a double circular motion. I have actually gotten sick from spinning too much on this one.
THE ORIENT EXPRESS: The Orient Express is a kiddie roller coaster that mom and dad can ride along to!
ALIEN ABDUCTION: Most of us grew up with the name the 'Gravitron' Riders experience the feeling of weightlessness as they are pressed against the wall. I can still handle this one.
