(Long time lurker, first-time poster here, so please be gentle :)
As a great lover of the fairground/ theme parks, I was pretty disappointed last year when we didn't get a Creator Expert Fairground set. I decided to take matters into my own hands and set about designing some rides of my own.
I present to you; the Swing Carousel and the Drop Tower!
(apologies if these photos are too large; I am nowhere near technically skilled enough to choose sizes myself :)
Both rides function exactly like their real life counterparts - in the Chair-O-Planes' case, via lots of gearing and a drive wheel, and in the Drop Tower's case, by a large conveyor belt running up the centre.
Here are some videos of them in action:
I think that's all I'll say on their design and just let the pictures do the talking.
Both rides are on Lego Ideas, and you can find their project pages (with a couple extra pictures) here:

Drop Tower
Any and all support would be hugely appreciated (I know 10,000 is pretty unlikely, but it's worth a shot :)
Please feel free to give any feedback and constructive criticism - I'm always looking for help and advice on how to improve my MOCing skills.
Thanks for looking!
