From the classic Merry-Go-Round to the Teacup rides and the Break Dance, there is something for all ages.
Kids with courage may tackle the children's rollercoaster while others may opt for the pony rides or a trip down the big jumbo slide.
Showmens Guild of Australasia president Aaron Pink said sideshow alley was packed with rides and many of the 2023 ones had made a return.
He said the Twister would be a major drawcard this year.
He also expected the Triple XL and the Freak Out to be popular.
"The Twister is our newest one, it spins around and lifts up in the air - it's a bit like a Cha Cha style of ride but it also raises up in the air," he said.
