The siblings from George Town said they had already had a ride of the Gee Whizzer before taking to the mud on bikes.
Nine-year-old Isabelle said the show was always fun.
"Imogen crashed into the wall so I had to get off and help her … I like helping my sister,” she said.
Five-year-old Imogen was unharmed by her muddy crash, gleefully telling her parents she wanted a quad bike for her birthday when the girls finished their ride.
“I just went on a motorbike and we’re going to see the ponies because they like to trot alot,” she said.
The girls, their parents, and two-year-old brother Tristan spent the day exploring sideshow alley, followed by a visit to the horse jumping and other animals.
“It’s been probably about four or five years since we've been so today we thought we would bring the kids out and see how they go,” said their mother Jessica Nicholas.
