Do not trust this company, they are a bunch of rip offs! They will steal from you, they have been proven to have stolen from many people including churches. Any oppurtunity they see to rip you off, they will. They have a horrible reputation because of their unethical business practices. They have been sued by many and have many judgements against them. Insurance coverage is questionable and they have been known to forge contracts for a return of providing a carnival.The owners names are Vicky Jinright and John Jinright, go under the Hillsborough County clerk of the circuit court website and see for yourself what comes up under those two names under official records and see for yourself.

I don't think I've ever been to one of your carnivals or whatever. But, I can tell from this thread you are pure trash. Any business owner that argues with customers is a complete wuss. A good business owner would see all these complaints are the exact perception of said business. A good business owner would see complaints as a gift to see what you're doing wrong and fix it! Instead of arguing with the ones that PAY YOUR PAYCHECK. What an idiot. You could make so much more money if you weren't so ignorant ( and obviously a thief that hires thieves). Rather argue with people who spend their hard earned money at your [censored]hole carnivals. You should be ashamed of yourself.

This is 100% untrue I never signed a contract with you nor did I receive $8500.00 dollars from you. I would not provide 6 rides for the sum of $8500.00 dollars. I do not even know who you are or where you are located. You need to delete this lie.

Well I suppose I should have read some reviews on JCJ Amusements before doing business with them because now I am out of $8500.00. I signed a contract for Vicky Jinright to have her provide our church with 6 rides for our charity event for pediatric cancer patients and she simply never showed up after she insisted I get the money to her as soon as possible, she is avoiding my calls and the day she was supposed to be here has come and gone...I cannot even begin to explain what this has done to us, we receive donations and we had to car washes and other work by volunteers to raise this money and now it is all her her hands and we have nothing. Not only has this hurt us financially because we have to start all over again but the kids this was supposed to help aren't getting exactly that..help. I have absolutely begged and pleaded with her on her voicemail to please give me my money back for the kids sake and she won't even call me back! I am floored and tremendously hurt by her doing this to us..all of us!

I recently had a really bad experience with this carnival company and I thought I had better warn people of them. I went to buy tickets and this big older woman who I assumed was the owner didn't give me all my money back from a $50 dollar bill, I told her she owed me another ten dollars and she argued with me and told me I was trying to cheat her...CHEAT HER! I couldn't believe this woman! I had just come from the bank and took my money out of the envelope and purposely out of habit looked at it before giving it to her! Then she calls some guy over named John who was burly looking and tells him what I was saying and he starts to cuss at me in front of all these people, the bad thing was it was at the ticket booth and of course there was a bunch of kids around it and this guy or woman didn't even care! I was blown away by the audacity! I called the cops and told them what had happened and they basically said it is my word against hers, needless to say we didn't even use our tickets, I was of course completely disgusted and sick over it. I work hard for my money and I just wanted my kids to enjoy themselves but instead I had to turn it into a lesson about life and how some people can take advantage of you. I don't even know how to begin to say how hurt we are over this...never again will I take my kids to a side of the road carnival.

Now the owner Vicky Jinright is making up fake reviews to try to make herself look better. No one coming in off the street knows the owners names...nice try Vicky! This company is horrible, they yet again ripped another company off for tens of thousands of dollars I learned after trying to track her down and she is still in business waiting to rip someone else off. Take heed to these complaints, they are real, people have warned people by her extensive bad reviews so if you choose to do business with them and you get ripped off know that you can only blame yourself. Ask her about the atm she stole or the many companies that have judgments against her for her not showing up to do a carnival after THOUSANDS had already been paid to her for a deposit. Our organization is a fundraiser from three counties for families of sick and disabled children that need help with medical expenses here in Florida and I can tell you it really hurt us when she took our money because there were a lot of people involved in this that gave donations to have a carnival and when she never showed up we kept calling and calling and she would never return our calls! People do not get a bad reputation by being innocent! Public record of what kind of family runs JCJ Amusements, copy and paste this link to see what kind of thieves these people are: http://pubrec3.hillsclerk.com/oncore/search.aspx?bd=1%2F4%2F1965&ed=5%2F27%2F2016&n=jinright&bt=O&d=5%2F27%2F2016&pt=-1&st=fullname

Here's one where Vicky Caldwell Jinright gets arrested for domestic violence:

This company is horrible, they yet again ripped another company off for the sum of $30, 000. And she is still in business waiting to rip someone else off. Take heed to these complaints, they are real, people have warned people by her extensive bad reviews so if you choose to do business with them and you get ripped off know that you can only blame yourself. I was a victim myself. Ask her about the atm she stole or the many companies that have judgments against her for her not showing up to do a carnival after THOUSANDS had already been paid to her for a deposit. Our fundraiser for innocent sick kids never happened because this woman took the deposit and ran...imagine how disappointed they were that they weren't having a carnival after all the anticipation...she is evil and selfish! People do not get these these reviews against them by being innocent!

The game people were equaly friendly.. We would definately go to it again. Thankyou for all you do. We felt happier than a big park. Come again. Thankyou for bringing so many smiles to so many people everyday. God Bless to the owners Vicky, Jim, Cody and staff...
Sincerely from a very grateful family...

I was compelled to take the kids to the church carnival that we had passed on the street and was looking to giving them a good time. Unfortunately we found out to soon that the rides were in need of some face lifting and creaked when the rides began and the ride people could have used some clean clothing, as they smelled. I don't know why there are businesses that can operate in such a way and still be in business. I would hope that there would be some sort of governing agency that looks out for these things. Passing by the games we were shouted at, whistled at and even one person running the game came from behind his game and touched my sister telling her she can have one free turn. After refusing him he returned to his game cussing such language, I think it would make a sailor blush. We left immediately. This carnival was a disgrace and anyone that would sponsor them for an event must not be looking in the right places as I can't believe that all carnivals are as dirty and indifferent to the public as this one is. What a shame that people go to such lengths to take your money with a smile on their face..

have to agree with you. I had to call the police on these people. I was at a church function and this JCJ AMUSEMENTS carnival was there. I had 300 dollars cash STOLEN from us by one of their ride operators, literally put his hand in my purse when me and my children were playing a game and took the money out. When I confronted JCJ AMUSEMENTS, they ganged up and threatened me. They tried to have us escorted out of the park area, but we called the police and filed a report the next day. The Church had to reimburse us for the money that was stolen. I tried to resolve the issue with the owner Vicky, John and Cody, but they got really nasty with my family and didn't care that someone that they employed stole money. I've never felt so mistreated and violated. Vicky refused to give us the operators name and contact information. We later saw him at the corner gas station buying beer, and he smirked at us as we pumped our gas. Who are these people? In what world is this okay? BEWARE AND DON'T USE THESE PEOPLE!

JCJ amusements are a bunch of scam artist fraudulent pedophiles. Keep this group away from your kids and don't have them at your church! My family had a terrible experience with them, especially Cody. They do not do background checks on their ride ooperators or their booth runners. ### of the earth!

These people are crooks, do not believe anything they have to say and definitely do not trust them as far as money is concerned. I agree with the first poster, they have ripped off people left and right and they are the epitome of low life thieves. They make their living off from screwing people over and never see fault within themselves. Be warned, if you do business with these people prepare to get ripped off. To confirm what the above poster stated I found it is true of the many judgments they have in the Hillsborough County Clerk of the Circuit Court, I put in the name "Jinright" and was taken aback on how many pages came up. No matter what this thief Vicky Jinright says if she was really on the up and up why are there numerous upon numerous legal issues against these people on that site? The proof and reviews on the internet prove she is a liar, this carnival company is a bunch of bums, she has even been arrested in Hillsborough County for domestic violence and for not showing up for court when someone was trying to sue her. The reason she does not know who I am is because she can't figure out who it could be because she has ripped off so many people! I am NOT another carnival company nor am I any business competition as implied, there is no ulterior motive other than to expose these crooks as they truly are. Disabled people depended on money from a fundraiser and you disappeared in the middle of the night...I truly don't now how you can even look in the mirror, you are a horrible person Vicky Jinright...

This is totally untrue, we have no idea why this person would be complaining. First of all they cannot even give the name of the church that they are referring to. If a problem existed they would of came to the office or went to the church office. All of our employees are well groomed, in uniform shirts and do not behave in that manner. So really if you have something to say come to the office so the problem can be handled. All you are trying to do is give us a bad name.. If this was for real then they would of wanted it taken care of. Maybe you should go to the Father if you have such a problem or maybe you should ask for forgiveness since all you are doing is telling lies. God Bless You!

I had a really bad experience from this carnival company. The people that run the rides are dirty, filthy and foul mouthed. I went to put my twins on a ride and these three derelict looking people that worked for the company were huddled in one area and they were spewing off cuss words left and right and one even was spitting on the ground. I was so embarrassed I didn't even want my twins to get on the ride to hear anymore of that type of language. Needless to say I had to leave without even using our tickets, I didn't think it would do any good for me to complain to the owners because if that is the type of people they hire to run their rides that just goes to show what that says about them. Disappointing day for us...I really thought my church would have hired more professional individuals than they did.

These are the ramblings of someone who is just trying to give us A bad name and trying to steal our contracts and this is the only Way they know how to go about it. And here is the truth it is impossible for us to forge a contract when all contracts are done through attorneys and are signed by both parties and there has to be a third-party witness. It is also physically impossible to steal from our churches considering that they sell all the tickets and hold all the money until we settle up at the very end of the spot. And another thing that this person said which just tells me that they have no idea what they are talking about They said that our insurance is questionable well I am here to tell you that we hold a $2 million liability for our insurance and you have to show proof of insurance every week you get inspected or you cannot open. So whoever chooses to believe what these jealous no good people have written then all I have to say to you is you are just as stupid as they are. So for anymore questions please feel free to contact us our numbers are on our web page So have a nice and wonderful day

Trying to give you a bad name? Which is why you all just didn't even show up for a county fair with no calls no word from you all?
