When I was a kid, the was a ride at Buckeye lake amusement park. It was like one of those spin around swing rides where
the riders are in swings and whole thing spins and the riders swing out as it goes faster and faster. This thing was
basically a little fuselage with a 'rudder' you could deflect right and left as you spun around. If you really got it
right you could almost do a wingover as it spun around. Not a very good description, but it was a blast for a 9 year old
kid! "They don't make them like that anymore" * ;-)


I remember those! The one I rode was at an amusement park at Summit
Lake in Akron, Ohio. Great fun!
