the gondola over the river was terrifying.


My family and I rode the gondola. There was some mechanical problem and we ended up sitting over the river for about half an hour, slightly swaying in the wind.

I remember there was a food vendor that was selling chocolate covered bananas. My old man said that it looked like "shite on a stick."

I remember Seymour D. Fair, the Enterprise space shuttle, and the balloon animal guy at the French Pavilion.

I know my folks have pictures from the fair boxed up somewhere. That sums up my memories of the '84 Worlds Fair.
