Ahh brilliant, thanks for letting us know buddy! I completely forgot to ask when I walked past it the second time. I've done the wheel when it was at another fair a few years back but can't remember the price and they didn't advertise it then either for whatever reason

£10 for Apollo, we paid £6 to go on it at another fair. That's why I like to include the ride prices in my videos, anything to help people 🙂

The Moor is still in a bad state from loosefest last summer (which was a couple weeks after the Hoppings) On your comment about prices. People don’t realise the showmen don’t want to charge £3/4/5+ per ride, they have no choice, the rents from Newcastle council have gone up, the cost of fuel is sky high all the rides and stalls run on diesel, maintenance, replacement parts are getting more expensive, staff costs, insurance costs, travel costs. Everything costs money, it’s a business they’re running, they can’t run it at a loss. I travelled for years on the fair, and every year it got more expensive to run. Just remember before anyone makes any uneducated comments about the showmen and their rides their way of life prices etc, we’ve all gotta make a living, we’ve all gotta eat, we’re just out here trying to entertain the public while making a living. You’ve also gotta remember some of these snowmen will still be paying of the cost of buying the ride itself, which are worth 100s of thousands of pounds.

Same old rides and prices going up. I totally understand showmen need to make a profit. I've been going to fairs for years and do appreciate what work goes into these machines. Over the past few years I've seen the number of folk going to fairs drop massively due to cost. Take a family of four and costs the price of a weekend away.
