The South Carolina State Fair  is Oct. 9-20 at the State Fairgrounds in Columbia. This year's fair features more than 70 rides and seven new rides. The new rides are: 

Star Dancer

This super spectacular ride will wow fair-goers with its over-the-top spinning motion. As the Star Dancers claw begins to spin, the giant pendulum swings back and forth, gaining momentum with each swing until it loops all the way around 360 degrees -- reaching heights of more than 70 feet.

Double Decker Merry-Go-Round

Giddy Up, Go! This new ride is 40 feet round and 34 feet tall, and features 76 seats in a stunning menagerie of zebras, elephants, rabbits and some spinning bowls for the fearless. For guests who want a bird's eye view of the Midway, the double-decker top floor of this exquisite Merry-Go-Round offer a wonderful impression of all the S.C. State Fair has to offer.

Twister

Twist and Shout! There's no better way to describe these dual-motion cars on this elevating platform. Hand on and have fun!

Morbid Mansion

This attraction offers a fun, leisurely ride on winding tracks. Guests should hold on to their steering wheels and don't forget to ring their bells.

Flivver

This attraction offers a fun, leisurely ride on winding tracks. Guest should hold on to their steering wheels and don't forget to ring their bells!

Red Baron

This kiddie attraction features plane-shaped vehicles that rotate in a clockwise motion. Each plane loads two passengers and soars about 2 meters from the ground. Kids will squeal with delight as they go up and down pretending to fly.

Love Bug

This ride features groovy fun and will take children and parents on a swoop through peaks and valleys to the sounds of lively music and wind blowing through their hair. This colorful 24-passenger ride is similar in look to the Himalaya, with more gentle slopes and speed conducive for younger riders.
