I get to squish my friends when they sit on the end of it and it\u2019s fun,\u201d Riley Kinsella told SooToday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI like the Scrambler because it\u2019s so fast,\u201d said Chase Dittburner.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI like the way the Scrambler spins. I don\u2019t like heights, so anything that\u2019s closer to the ground and kind of fast, I like it like that,\u201d said Craig Maitland.<\/p>\n<p>Others liked it on the really wild side.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI like the Freak Out because I like the feeling of falling when I&#8217;m not actually falling. I like the feeling it gives you in your stomach,\u201d said 11-year-old Gemma Turcotte.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I was a kid, I liked roller-coasters when I lived in Edmonton. I&#8217;m getting too old for it now, but Gemma loves it,\u201d laughed her father, Craig.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI like the Full Tilt. It gives me an adrenalin\u00a0rush and I like scary rides like that,\u201d said Destiny Tanner.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI like the Freak Out. It goes really high and it\u2019s fun to ride on,\u201d said Myla Bjornaa.<\/p>\n<p>The carnival started Thursday and continues to Sunday, May 24.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"From gentle spins for younger children riding with parents to high-flying attractions that left riders breathless, rides by&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":674751,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[45,49,48,248081],"class_list":["post-674750","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-business","tag-business","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-entertainmentsoo-pee-wee-spring-carnival2026campbell-amusements-midway"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/674750","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=674750"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/674750\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/674751"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=674750"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=674750"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=674750"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
