I have been experimenting with making different things for the fair ground. So far i have managed to create the basic look of a Ferris wheel and a short animation for a roller coaster.
the Ferris wheel was created by using 2 circles (with smaller circles drawn over then and the Boolean tool used to cut them down so that 2 thin outlining circles were left) after this a series of cylinders were created to look like the supports holding the circles in place. the stand for it was a triangle with a smaller triangle used for a Boolean inside. Once this was done i cloned it to make the other side of the Ferris wheel. I then went to create a ramp in the middle to act as the ramp to get onto the ride. when all this was put into place i connected the 2 sides of the Ferris wheel with a large cylinder, this acts as the main support and also the point at which the wheel moves. Upon completing all this i made the seats using simple boxes and then cloning them around the Ferris wheel.
This is the final result, i am very pleased with it so far. I need to work on the maps, lighting and animation to finish this off.
Roller Coaster
I have also created a short animation for a roller coaster. To create the tracks i used a torus and then converted it to a editable poly in order to create the bumps and turns. I then cloned this to create the inside track and scaled it down. The Slats connecting the tracks are just cylinders angled to fit right.

It's nice to see that you've experimented with animating the rollercoaster before attempting the final animation.
It's all looking pretty cool, although I feel that I would probably be sick on a rollercoaster going that fast hehe.
Yeah, it's good how you've done it in a first persons perspective view. It does feel like I'm on the rollercoaster (yep!) =D
But yes I agree with Abby, I'd feel sick too! Probably a good thing though - it means its realistic Martin!!
