(CNN) —The Iowa State Fair won't allow Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump to give kids free rides on his helicopter on fairgrounds, but the real estate developer has secured a nearby location.

The helicopter will take off from a parking lot outside the fair in Des Moines, campaign state chairman Chuck Laudner told CNN on Friday, adding that Trump may hop on a few rides as well.

CNN previously reported that the Sikorsky is one of three that he owns, seats 12 people comfortably, including the pilot.

Trump will arrive in the $7 million helicopter before holding a press event

It would have been a lot bigger deal if they had given him space.

Don’t laugh - at Trump Tower there is not only Trump Steaks, there are Trump Hamburgers, Trump/Caesar Salad and Trump Brownie a la Mode.

I wonder how Trump covers the legal liability against being sued if something goes wrong.

I can't see him getting parents to sign releases. But then he might.

I was at the Iowa state fair a few years ago. It does draw huge crowds, and there is plenty of good places just outside the fair grounds for Trump copter rides.

No one was going to break dozens of contracts at the last minute, or eliminate scarce camping and parking and cut down trees. It is a very cool idea though.

I fully expect the United States of America to be renamed the United State of Trump if he wins the office President.

I figured out how Trump would get around parents signing releases.

He would get his aircraft insurance company to indemnify him for any losses.

He probably already has a policy in place.

Wait until you see the huge gold sign “Trump!” on the White House. Not since Mary Lincoln has there been such a redesign.

Imagine hoisting Krespy Kreme like that. O well no need to worry any Krespy Kreme may give up knowing he is losing.

When the helicopter arrives it needs concert speakers on the skids playing “Ride of the Valkyries”. ;)

I knew Trump would figure out a way to make this happen.

When the State Fair said no way, I figured he tasked someone with making it happen at a nearby venue.

Trump got it done.

Jeb would have said, “Oh, OK.”
