Used to love this ride.

Happy Daze.

The oldest rocker in town!

Yes, the Waltzers.

In my early 20's I made the big mistake of getting on the ride with a mate, and as you used to do, you would holler out to the operatives to keep spinning you more and more.

After getting off the ride I could hardly walk, and it took me hours to recover.

Ever since then I have not been able to go on any fairground ride that spins you around, not even a kids merry go round when my Daughter was young, unless very, very slow.

You certainly live and learn.

Who needs a signature anyway......

When at the Exmouth fair, the operators would allow us to stand on the revolving floor and ride. Not much chance of that now is there. Quite funny outside spinning your mates seat around

The waltzer was never improved by having a few beers beforehand.
