New York State Fairgrounds Tours

What's new at the New York State fair? The Broadway Skyliner, a new, permanent skyride that will be running the length of the midway. “It goes about 1,400 feet from the east end to the west end and will take about seven minutes,” says the fair's acting director Troy Waffner. Take a ride on this and you’ll get a beautiful birds-eye view of the fairgrounds!

Went to the RV show which was awesome. A shuttle brought you between the 5 buildings so you didn't have to walk very far.
