I remember riding as a kid something called the Troika, and also the Spider. It had to do with centriforce and not so much height as some others. We all get our kicks on different ways, don't we?!<br />;)~ <br />HUGZBruno Lalibertéhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09607511642101907283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2645573232665842025.post-17138506256063335622012-06-25T16:22:59.001-05:002012-06-25T16:22:59.001-05:00Great post!

Thank you for sharing these; I guess that these expositions must have been a common thing back then.
