Yeah I agree. I’m not sure it even makes sense to compare state fairs and especially county fairs to theme parks; they’re aiming at a different experience altogether. They have more kitsch like fried butter and tractor pulls, the ground tends to be just dirt or whatever pavement was already there, and it’s all temporary so they feel more like a community event. In contrast there are plenty of regional parks even lesser known than Six Flags like Adventureland, Kings Island, Dorney Park. These are much more similar to Disneyland (albeit scaled down) than they are to a state fair.
