A piece of Michael Jackson history is on display right now at the Eastern Idaho State Fair and fans can experience it up close.
It’s a piece of property from the King of Pop's Palace--straight from the Neverland Ranch.
The ride is known as Balloon Samba and is a popular attraction at this year's fair.
Riley, age 8: "It was very dizzy and fun. Especially when it went up and then down. It was sort of like a rollercoaster ride."
It's a thrill ride by the man behind the hit song Thriller. Taking back Michael Jackson fans both old and young.
Jim Heft, Michael Jackson Fan: "I just can't believe that they were able to bring it to Southeast Idaho. It's amazing that a piece of Michael Jackson legacy has made it here to Idaho. It's incredible."
The ride was purchased from the Neverland Ranch and today it travels around the country.
Some children know of the ride's origin...
Jordan, age 7: "It used to be owned by Michael Jackson."
…and others have no idea.
Riley, age 8: "It really was?"
Just like the ride going round and round, so do the conversations about the man behind it all.
Tanner and Robert Martin: "Tanner will probably listen to his music someday, right? Yeah."
The Balloon Samba ride is just one of 16 new rides to the fair this year.
