The festive 17-day Alameda County Fair continues today with a bevy of activities and events, including children’s rides, motocross shows, and plenty of fair fare.
Among the highlights is the fair’ new A.R.M Vertigo, which towers over the midway at 100 feet in height and seats 24 passengers.
Once the ride begins, the entire center twists in a circular motion. Riders enjoy a swinging sensation as the entire center track lifts up slowly until reaching the top of the ride. Once the swing ride reaches the top it begins to slowly swing in a descent.
The Fair continues through Sunday, July 7.
