A Spin Through History!

A Spin Through History! My article about the park world's oldest operating amusement rides is published in the November IAAPA special edition of Amusement Warehouse, the print magazine companion to the amusement industry website carnivalwarehouse.com. It's available by subscription but you can pick up a copy at the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions Expo in Orlando this week. Among the century-old rides featured in my story are Vienna's Giant Wheel (1897), Coney Island's Deno's Wonder Wheel (1920), Luna Park Melbourne's Great Scenic Railway (1912), Seabreeze Park's Jack Rabbit roller coaster (1920), Blackpool Pleasure Beach's Sir Hiram Maxim's Captive Flying Machine (1904), and the hand-carved, 19th century carousels at Lake Compounce and Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk.
