Maine's blue ribbon classic, the Fryeburg Fair, returns in 2022 and runs from October 2-9. Anyone who has visited the Fryeburg Fair in the past knows that week is filled with incredible food and entertainment. 2022 will be no exception, with your favorite food vendors ready to go and a laundry list of live bands, educational seminars, and other activities lined up. But there's also the matter of the rides. And this year, the Fryeburg Fair will debut several new rides, including one thrill ride that will make you feel a little bit like Superman.

Dreamland Amusements is responsible for the rides at this year's Fryeburg Fair. One of the featured attractions will be the Superman 360. The thrill ride will take 16 people in a complete circle through the air while the seat you're strapped to also spins. If you've ever wanted to know how Superman feels flying through the air, this might be as close as you get. This Superman 360 ride is the only one on the entire east coast of the United States.

Similar to the tea cups, another new ride featured at the Fryeburg Fair this year will be Crazy Cabs. This ride is meant for all ages, and allows both kids and adults to strap into their "cab" and then dart in different directions as if they were on a mad dash cab ride in New York City.

The Rockin' Tug

Another family friendly attraction, the Rockin' Tug, is a unique ride that simulates being aboard a tug boat that has hit a few big waves. The tug boat moves back and forth between two waves, twisting and turning as everyone rides the wave. The good news is that nobody gets wet.

LOOK: See how much gasoline cost the year you started driving

To find out more about how has the price of gas changed throughout the years, Stacker ran the numbers on the cost of a gallon of gasoline for each of the last 84 years. Using data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (released in April 2020), we analyzed the average price for a gallon of unleaded regular gasoline from 1976 to 2020 along with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for unleaded regular gasoline from 1937 to 1976, including the absolute and inflation-adjusted prices for each year.

Read on to explore the cost of gas over time and rediscover just how much a gallon was when you first started driving.
