Four new rides — the Freestyle, the Speed2, the Rockstar and the Crazy Dance — mean everyone from families to thrill-seekers wins a prize.
Owner of several rides Les Chant said the extreme rides weren’t for the faint-hearted.
“The extreme rides are right up in the scary department,” he said.
“They are 40 metres high, spin around then throw like you’re going to hit the ground.
“There is a lot of good entertainment too so, for $10, you could come and spend no money and still have a good time.”
Lower entry fees and more free entertainment is expected to draw a big crowd.
It's show season and we've covered quite a few so far!

Albury Show Society treasurer Kevin Wild said the size of the crowd determined the number of rides on offer.
“Because we get a good crowd we attract the better rides — that’s how the new ones came about,” he said.
“The grounds are the best they have looked this year.
“There is not a space left so it is the best year we have had.”
Entry is $20 for families today and $25 tomorrow and Sunday.
It is $5 for children under 16 and pensioners and $10 for adults.
