SOLVED. YA/Horror-ish - teens at a fair, but it's a an evil fair, they need to escape, ferris wheel on the cover, possibly a murder involved? [s]

I remember a book I read maybe 8-10 years ago when I was in high school or middle school. It was about some kids and there's a fair/carnival in their town I think but it's turns out to be a horror fair (or at least a lot of scary stuff happens there). I think there maybe have been a murder and they only have a certain amount of time to solve it, or escape or something.

There was a red Ferris Wheel on the cover I think

Something Wicked This Way Comes if it was a carousel, not a Ferris wheel, on the cover. That is, the book is fairly old (1962) and has a zillion different covers, but it's a carousel that figures into the plot.

That said, this cover does have a Ferris wheel.

Or Full Tilt by Neal Shusterman? It does have a red Ferris Wheel on the cover

Thanks for the response, it is Full Tilt, but I just read Something Wicked This Way Comes which made me wonder about the other book!
