TUCSON, Ariz. — Picture this: The anticipation of the upcoming Pima County Fair reaches its peak, only to be met with a surprising twist...the fair's brand-new ride is still making its way to the U.S. and won't make it to Tucson in time.Chris Lopez, Vice President of Ray Cammack Shows , the carnival provider, said the Baltimore bridge collapse caused the delay.
“It was due to leave the port and make it here for Tucson," Lopez said."When that happened, other supplies and containers take precedence. So although it wasn’t stuck or even on the water yet, it was backed up to things that needed to be delivered in the wake and in the shadow of that tragedy.” “It’s gonna be spinning around very fast and the cars, the gondolas, the cars that you’re in spin the opposite direction," Lopez said."Although it’s not a ride that spins you up and flips you like the 'Joker' or the 'Titan' or the 'Mach 1.' This is a Himalaya-style ride; a sleigh-ride if you will.”
