Funfair, Rides

Photo: Norman Print, 1986.

Well without the rides, it would not be a funfair, most of the old rides have been replaced, the picture shown is a Satellite, Clever motion of an off-centre counter-rotating base.

The ring of seats tilts drastically and then dives and climbs in a seemingly erratic fashion.

Travelling under the names Satellite, Trabant, Mexican Hat, Razzle Dazzle and Hully Gully. Its introduction into the UK paved an important part of our fairground heritage in that it helped to establish the Long Eaton based engineering company set up by Ivan Bennett.
