Help on an episode

I could be confusing it with another cartoon....but I distinctly recall a Flintstone episode where they were all at a carnival or fair and whenever they decided to go on a ride that had no lines...by the time they got to that ride, a huge crowd suddenly appeared there out of nowhere....and it kept happening to them over & over and was funny.

I've referenced this scene over the years with people when this situation happens in real life...like at a check out line or anywhere there's crowds....I just say "Flinstones" when the crowd suddenly appears where a second ago there was none.

But after Googling all over the internet, nothing pops up....Am I crazy for remembering this from The Flinstones?? Was it from another cartoon?...Or even worse....did it never exist and it's a figment of my imagination?!

I'm 99% sure this is from the Flinstones....if anyone can confirm with the episode i'd be SO grateful to know i'm not nuts!!

Only one that I can think of is Season 5's "The Time Machine",[1964-1965 TV season] with just the grownups only...

Took place at the 1964 B.C. World's Fair..

Amanda Bynes is hot and Lindsay Lohan is not.
"Jewish People driving German cars"-Sarah Silverman.

Nope. You're not crazy. This DID happen in an episode of "The Flintstones".

It is from the episode "Circus Business" (season 5).

From the description on wikipedia:

The Flintstones and Rubbles visit a financially shaky carnival. Fred decides to buy the carnival unaware of the problems it has. After being forced to put on some shows, as the carnival workers had just walked out, Fred shows that the carnival could be a success and the seller buys the carnival back from Fred. The teaser is a scene from the middle of the episode.

As already answered by two others, already, you maybe thinking of two.
Season 6 & episode 5 is "Circus Business". It's immediate IMDb link to it is
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0580155. I like the earlier "circus episode" titled Dial S for Suspicion (Season 3 & Episode 14) & its immedate IMDb link is
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0580160 (it is 9 episoded before Pebbles' birth).
The address title page is:
