For the adrenaline junkies out there, Kissel Entertainment will supply rides for all ages, including a new, one-of-a-kind thrill ride with a custom soundtrack, lighting package and hand-drawn designs. Kissel is committed to guest safety, operator education and site efficiency, and, to add to your peace of mind, recently became the first carnival company to become iROC (International Ride Operator Certification) certified through International Ride Training. Their dedication to safety and inclusivity goes beyond the rides – they are also
Sensory Inclusive certified through Kulture City®, providing accessibility modifications throughout the grounds.
