• The Spitfire display and one large an impressive old-fashioned carousel.
• They keep it quiet that there's not much chance of seeing any balloons.

“Dreadful. I went to the 2006 Balloon Fiesta on Saturday the 12th of August and it was awful. It is essentially a huge, cheap and nasty funfair with huge numbers of stands selling overpriced food and drink. If you went there for a family day out it could cost you an absolute fortune. They didn't have any balloons take off, because it was too windy apparently, (not that we could feel that on the ground, but I bow to their greater knowledge of that). However, the other entertainments were mostly awful, and unless you are willing to pitch a camp right next to the arena fence, you can't hear any of the announcements, so you have no idea what's going on. Also, (although we walked there) we noticed traffic was awful, and there were far too few loss. Go to the kite festival instead - no pony wind excuses there!”
