Y. It is the most original and successful ride produced since Paul Boyton’s “chutes.” It has played to capacity since its opening on July 12. It embraces all that appeals to the public. It is the first time the riders are placed in a standing position. It carries them through dark tunnels. It gives them the sensation of waltzing without effort. It rises. falls, turns and reverses, going through all the movements of the waltz. It is absolutely without danger. It appeals to all ages. The young and the old can enjoy waltzing without practice or exertion. Those who haven't waltzed in twenty years, those who have never waltzed, or the “waltz fans,’’ can enjoy the greatest of all pestioneewaltzing—without effort, but with novel and added inducements, which appeal to every class. It offers special inducements to the Park Manager and Concessionaire, which must appeal to every business man. ane Skis lier ascent eae ae ®)22S C We f 7 te | SPSL! cee O35 139 ‘ofa cer THURSIOSS S155 FI Ns) 14 cOMMUNIGATION WITH NEARLY 3 etice* eine = — ee i RR 200 PARK MANAGERS AND CON AMUSEMENTS.
