This gal stole the show as the final "longest hula" competitor. Instead of the same multi-hoop tie-breaker, Miss Saturn asked the finalists if they could walk while hula hooping. She made a face like "is that all?" and proceeded to prance up and down stage with ease.

This girl was having a great time but didn't last too long in the contest.

This competitor had no difficulties with two hoops, and was the last one standing with three.

But things fell apart for Sabrina when Miss Saturn upped the ante. Everyone added a second hoop and she dropped one almost immediately...while the other continued whirring undisturbed.

Hula contest. Sabrina, the girl on the right was almost too good...never looked tired, just stood there with her arms calmly folded as the hoop spun. She competed in the "longest time" contest twice.

Hula contest. This first one was for the "troopers" who weren't necessarily good at hula hooping. Beautiful little Angelina went nuts! Couldn't keep it on her hips but she twirled the hoop wildly around her neck and wrists, dancing the whole time.

Kind of crazy gal, but in a funny way. Performing hula hoop tricks every weekend in August. The kids loved it.

For my money, the best ride in Astroland after the Cyclone.
