Gotta love getting tips from seasoned vets!

So in a nutshell, I should:
  1. Show up early
  2. Try to park in a nearby neighborhood
  3. buy honey from the first stand I see
  4. Get a turkey leg, Garlic ice cream, Garlic fries, Garlic corn, and pickled Garlic
  5. Try to get out of there around 10pm or earlier

I hear that most things there start tasting about the same after a few hours. Do you guys normally get some beer to neutralize your taste buds?

Pretty much -- I can say that you'll be bored and sunburnt by 2PM or so. I say a good time to leave is when you're tired of all the food and the crowd.

Got it!

Should be an interesting experience none the less!

I went a few years ago really early when it first opened so there wasn't a lot of people. You get sick of the food pretty quickly because as I recall, most of it is fried fair food. There are definitely some interesting things to try. Garlic ice cream wasn't bad, but FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, STAY AWAY FROM THE GARLIC CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER CUPS! Most. Disgusting. Things. Evar.

You've been warned

LOL didn't know such a thing existed. A pregnant woman could have came up with it when she was craving random foods!
