During the 2015 New York State Fair, your State Fair Hound has greatly increased the site’s photo file, many new images having been shot by crack Hound photojournalist, Nick LoPresti. COASTER FROM OT 15Saturday Nick, defying all risk, took some new pics from the Observation Tower ride, new to the Wade Shows midway this year (Tower of Power, Aug. 8, 2015).

CONE STAND 15The photos shot from the 100-foot-tall ride offer a proverbial birds-eye view of nearby rides, the infield and buildings near and far.

RIDE CLOSE-UP 15The Hound appreciates the courtesy of Wade Shows staff in getting Nick airborne early for these panoramic shots.
