DaveStroem Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 This photo is from the Library of Congress, Detroit Publishing collection that was posted on Shorpy.com It shows the Whirl of the Whirl at Coney Islands Luna Park. It reminded me so much of WindSeeker that I had to share. It too seems to have a pretty fancy light package Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanna Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Haha! I Love Shorpy! I can lose a few hours once I start looking. It's a great reference library. I always wonder about those old pictures on the beach, where people are fully dressed laying on the sand. That would be the most uncomfortable picnic ever.

McSalsa Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Wow. That DOES really resemble WindSeeker...a lot. Then again, WindSeeker-type rides aren't that rare, only the 300' tall ones...but even that seems to be changing as more are built. Great pic!

kingsrattler Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Thanks for the pic, Dave! If only I had been around back then to enjoy the ride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKlockster Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 It's like a steampunk WindSeeker! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
