It is not hard to snap especially with a ride full of those of us who know what it is.  There are no signs that say "no snapping" and the ride operator didn't caution us against it but during our rides (three times when Paul and I were on) after a few wicked sets of snaps (once you get going you really can't stop) the ride operator slowed the ride down so much I thought it was over.  He just looked at us and then sped it up.  With no warning not to ride it like the car allows we went back to what we were doing and he slowed it down again and again.  I don't know if we were breaking the rules but it would be nice if we got something other than a stare.



Get out your quarters as it is Fascination time!



Mix Bingo and Ske-Ball and you have one of the most fun and addicting games that I can't pass up wherever I run into a parlor.



There is no skill just chance as you roll the ball and let it fall through a hole that corresponds with the light on the board.  Depending on the game you try to light up a row or for the big prize games you light up the whole board as Kate did here.



What do you get when you win?  Lots of tickets that can be used to purchase any of the various consumer goods located all around the Fascination parlor.  Kate and Brittany won a ton and turned all of those tickets into a huge bag of candy to propel us around Knoebels for the rest of the evening.
