95.5 WFMS is gearing up for the 2017 Indiana State Fair!  The state fair just released some exciting news today about a new ride!  The Subaru Skyride is an amusement ride operated by North American Midway Entertainment (NAME), the Fair’s Midway operator, and is similar to a ski chairlift. Rising approximately 35 feet above the ground over the span of 1,400 feet, the 90-chair aerial lift will travel east and west in a continuous loop between the Swine Barn and the Midway. Riders can enter and exit the ride on either end for a seven-minute journey above the fairgrounds. Cost of a one-way ride is $5 per rider.The ride will only be operational during the 17-day Indiana State Fair each year. The chairs will carry two adults comfortably, or two adults and a small child. Riders must be 32 inches to ride with an accompanying adult or 48 inches tall to ride alone.    You can follow the progress of the skyride with #SubaruSkyride
