Morning view of the midway from the monorail. John, Keith and myself rode three rides at the midway: Pole Position, Tilt-A-Whirl, and Viper (located in the lower-right of this picture). We didn't ride any of the four rides at the State Fair that hailed from Michael Jackson's Neverland, but we all thought those rides looked excellent, and reflected well on Michael Jackson's taste.
