Just in case anyone is interested, I thought I'd post information about the Fiesta Carnival:
*****
Fiesta Carnival at Alamodome to feature free entertainment, bargains
The popular Fiesta Carnival is set to open April 16 at its new, larger Alamodome location and run through April 27.
Admission is free, and there’ll be free entertainment every day. Prices for rides, food and beverages are the same as last year.
But the carnival is offering a special bargain available through April 18 at local H-E-B grocery stores. The $15 H-E-B Super MegaPass is good for unlimited rides any one day.
Other special offers include:
* April 16: Free rides all night on the world’s largest slide.
* April 21 & 22: Dollar Nights. All rides, food and games will be $1 each.
* April 23: Free Ride Night. Buy a ride for regular price and your friend can ride free.
Parking is another bargain at the carnival. Parking Lot B has 1,000 spaces for just $5 each.
And for those who love to combine a carnival visit with Fiestas Fantasías at Market Square, VIA will have shuttle service between the two locations.

I've tried to find information online as to what rides they will have, but so far haven't found anything specific. There is also a bit of contradictory information, as one page says the carnival opens April 16, and the other says it opens April 18, so I guess I'll have to call and find out which is correct. If it does open Wednesday night, we may drive down for a peek... and see what they have (I 'smell' a photo opportunity here! :cool:)
