AtmosFEAR
Oaks Amusement Park reopened last weekend, and showed off its newest ride, AtmosFEAR. The new AtmosFEAR is Oregon s most extreme attraction, vaulting riders to just shy of 100 feet at the full inversion swing, with extreme G-forces in play with every loop, said Emily MacKay, marketing and events director. It is unique in that it is two rides in one riders can opt for the traditional pendulum 180-degree ride, or for those looking to take the thrill to the next level, there is a 360-degree ride that takes the terror over the top.

Clowns Without Borders
The show must go…online! The annual Clowns Without Borders fundraiser will offer “Pandemic Pandemonium” streaming shows featuring favorite local performers joined by prominent international artists. The circus moves into guests’ living rooms to raise money to send clowns around the world so people can experience laughter, play, and feel hope, especially during humanitarian crises. The benefit includes two shows: one for children and all-ages with interactive elements and music starring Marisol Kimberly Rosa-Shapiro, Mike Funt, and Meredith Gordon; and an adult-focused show including performances by Portland’s Leapin’ Louie Lichtenstein and Poki McCorkle.
