Spannheuser Funfair and Amusements Company was founded in 1883 by John-Peter Foster Jr, the son of a candy/tire magnate (one was made with the by-product of the other, but they never say which is which). Spannheuser wasn’t the original name, as is was changed in the 50s to reflect changing audience tastes.
You can theoretically rent rides from it, and they have a desk for this, but when you try you “get run around in circles” by the person manning the desk.
The Funfair appears periodically in different parking lots throughout Bluff City. When seen in Anomaly, it has set itself up in the parking lot of the St Andrews Church.
Rides
The Woods of Woe
An old-school dark ride in that it is based on hell/scary stuff. There is rumoured to be real skeletons in the ride (as these are cheaper than fake skeletons). Inside the ride there are trees, diaphanous dirty fabric, and old recorded laughter where you can hear the metallic tinge because the speakers are broken.
Adventure Galley
A pirate boat ride.
The Zipper
A rollercoaster which would duplicate items that fell off of people during the ride.
Snakeasauraus
A new ride, which was gained by the Funfair by killing someone within the Funfair.
Virtual Rollercoaster
Moving chairs with VR goggles.
Food
Funnel cake.
Park 2
After the success of the first location, a second location appeared on the other side of Bluff City.
