Flying is definitely impressive, though unsettling even when you know the science of it. Air holding up steel doesn't seem possible, though physics makes it so! And I believe knowing how to handle yourself on the internet makes it less dangerous than it might otherwise be. Good to keep a weather eye out!
Oh, good. That would be an awful thing to get cross about, wouldn't it? Angry about losing a contest that was rigged to be unwinnable? I think if we keep our expectations realistic that there's no reason not to have a bit of fun at least. Though I'm not sure about a roller-coaster. I believe those take a bit more of a permanent structure than is usually feasible for a carnival. I imagine there will be other rides, however, as that is usually par for the course.
