Carnival Vomit Scene

I was nine years old when this movie came out. My mom and I went together one afternoon. In the original version that played in the theater, we both distinctly remember that the vomit scene was significantly more disgusting and lasted an EXTREMELY longer period of time than shown in any other version we've seen (either on TV or DVD).

We both vividly remember this because it went on so long that we were both starting to get queasy and the scene lasted long enough for both of us to comment to one another about how 'extreme' this scene was.

Does anyone else recall seeing this originally in the theater and remember the extreme length of this scene??? I can understand why it's cut when it is shown on television, but does anyone know why it appears to be shortened in the DVD version?

Good times, and it's a (strange) memory that I still share with my mom!

I haven't watched this movie but it sounds like it might have been a take on the vomit scene at the fair after the eating contest in Stand by Me.

I think the Netflix version is the unedited theatrical version, or at least close to it. Puke is flying all over the place, and the boys are coated with it at the end.

Watched in theater as a kid, just watched on DVD. I was like, well that scene was not nearly as gross as I remembered. Must be because it was edited.

I thought the carnival vomit scene was pretty tame compared to the carnival vomit scene in Problem Child 2, I watched this film for the first time this evening after several years, I don't remember there the carnival vomit scene being shortened at all.
