The old AH Looper worked that way. Now that was a chunk of iron.

As in other cases, the Herschell was a better machine.

I thought those had a live spindle from the tire rolling on a track and there was a brake pedal in the tub hooked to a disc brake rotor so you could control the roll or was that an early version of the ride?

But then it would cost a million dollars 😑

What about a redesign with 4 person, outside facing seats. Could be a cool "new" machine.

Pinetar did have one, bought it new. It had its own problems. The center wasn't all that solid, tendency to rust or crack. Chance sent out a modification but that was poorly designed. On ours I pushed the sweeps up and welded 1/4 X 4 flat stock cut in segments around the center. Kept it together for about 10 years. Pinetar sent it back to Chance to have the center reworked.
The tubs roll as the tire run over a strip of track that raises when the operator flips a switch. It always needed a different restraint system either over the shoulder or a cushioned locking lap bar.

Many years ago i was fortunate enough to fall out and cracked my head open on the middle bar inside the seat. Since then i have viewed the ride differently. i still like it and i would buy i. Easy up easy down fast loader...

I remember the strap for sure, didn't bother me then really, but sure it would now as I have gained a few pounds.

I believe you right on the tire, seems I remember seeing them and hearing them when we "rolled".

I remember riding the one that Johnny's United Shows had for several years at the KY State Fair and then remember riding one that was at the FSF a few years back. It wasn't as much fun as it was a kid and it is fairly painful with that strap for sure. If I recall correctly isn't there a wheel on the end of each arm that hits a section of "tracking" near the spindle that causes the cage to roll? Or am I imagining that?
