Ahh, I love the Cabarrus County fair. I know it's a bit early in the year to bring this thread back from the dead, but I was just thinking about the fair this morning.
I really liked The Claw, the mini drop-zone tower, the Freak Out ride (we need that one in Intimidator's field...) and all of the animal exhibits. They were doing rodeo last year in the Cabarrus Arena. There's so much to do there, and everyone is so friendly. It's always a thrill to go there!
The fair just lights up at night as well. I really love the light show on the ferris wheel!
The food isn't too shabby, either. I could easily gain 50 pounds in one night if I had the money....
Based on your recent experiences, how do you think the Cabarrus County fair compares to other fairs around the area? This is the only one I've been too, but I'm eager to try out some more.

Very nice, clean midway. Friendly ride ops. Rides in EXCELLENT shape with vibrant paint jobs!
Rides that stood out:
Chance Zipper (long turbulent ride)
Eyerly Spider (ran well, actually called "Spider")
KMG Freak Out
Larson Ring Of Fire (new topless vehicles -- looked very good)
Flying Bobs (operated without roof - "Flying Bobs" stenciled on each vehicle; peppy DJ )
The Claw ( looks better than it rides, uncomfortable when tilting)
VERY impressed with this fair. Much better than in years past. They need a signature coaster. How about a nice Schwarzkopf Wildcat or that elusive Dopplel Looping that we used to enjoy at the SCSF, Miami Dade Youth Fair and Toronto's CNE ...
Check here for a few photos from the fairs. The LoopOPlane is from the USCSF, while the others are all at the CCF:
