Similar to today's Himalaya rides, a train travels in a circular, undulating track. A canvas canopy then covers the train, with a fan underneath the ride blowing air onto riders. The Caterpillar was manufactured by Traver Engineering, Beaver Falls, PA; Spillman Engineering, North Tonawanda, NY; and Allan Herschell Co, North Tonawanda, NY. 

Remaining Examples

Canobie Lake Park, Salem, NH (still has canopy)
Heritage Park, Calgary, ALB (still has canopy)

A spinning ride in which passengers sit in large gondola vehicles suspended by cables, the Circle Swing was made popular in America by the Traver Engineering Co, but none of Traver's Circle Swings remain. Sir Hiram Maxim's Flying Machines at Blackpool Pleasure Beach, Blackpool, UK is the last remaining vintage ride of this type, built in 1904. A modern replica of the Traver Circle Swing also operates at Disney California Adventure Park, Anaheim, CA.

Riders sit in four-person cars that travel along a circular track. A ramp sends the car into the air, and the car is then slowly lowered back to the ground with hydraulics. Manufactured by Norman Bartlett of Miami, FL, the last permanent Flying Coaster is at Kennywood in West Mifflin, PA. Some Bartlett Flying Coaster rides also travel the fair circuit overseas.

Two-person cars are suspended from a center arm. Passengers can use the wing in front of each car to control the motion of the ride. The Flying Scooter was first manufactured by Bisch Rocco of Chicago, IL, and a modern version is made today by Larson International.
