Untitiled (Flying)

$9,000.00

Central to the early amusement park experience, was the chair swing ride — first conceived by Harry Guy Traver, an amusement ride inventor who designed the "Circle Swing" between 1902-1904. Inspired by seagulls, flying chairs or cars were attached to cables that spun around a central tower, creating a “flying” sensation. Throughout the 1900s, this concept developed into the modern Chair-O-Plane, which became a staple in amusement parks and traveling fairs, often using chained chairs suspended from a rotating top.
