FRESNO, Calif. – The carnival is coming to Chukchansi Park as the Fresno Fuego and Fresno Grizzlies are proud to announce a new partnership with Wold Amusements to bring carnival rides and entertainment to Downtown Fresno for the 2012 season. The carnival will be available to families for all Fuego and Grizzlies home games.
“The Fresno Fuego and Fresno Grizzlies have guaranteed fun for the last few years, and the new partnership with Wold Amusements will only enhance our promise to families that a night at the ballpark brings all the fun and excitement at the best value,” said Fuego and Grizzlies President Chris Cummings.
“We are a local company that wants to provide fun for the community. What better place to deliver entertainment for the entire family than a soccer and baseball game, and Chukchansi Park is the right venue for our carnival,” said Jason Wold, CEO of Wold Amusements.
In addition to the existing children’s Fun Zone, the carnival will feature several rides available for fans to enjoy once they enter Chukchansi Park for Grizzlies and Fuego games. Rides include an 80-foot tall ferris wheel, a roller coaster, a funhouse, a chair swing ride, a race car carousel and bumper cars. The carnival is available for all ages, but some rides do have height requirements for ridership. Admission for the rides is separate from purchased tickets to games and other events at Chukchansi Park.
Wold Amusements is a traveling carnival contractor that stages shows across all of California. Based in Hanford, Wold Amusements has offered a clean, safe, family experience for over 15 years.
Fans will get their first look at the Chukchansi Park Carnival when the Grizzlies kick off their 15th-annivesary season on Friday, April 13th against the Tacoma Rainiers, the Triple-A affiliate of the Seattle Mariners. Tickets are now available for the 2012 Grizzlies season.
As in 2011, in collaboration with Univision Radio, Fuego fans will have free admission to all home games (except against pro opponents). The free admission vouchers will be available at Univision Radio and on the Fuego Facebook Fan Page at www.facebook.com/FresnoFuego.
