Hi David,

I used to be the ride manager of your Waltzer for about 3 years 91-94. I'd love to see it. Is it viewable in a museum?

Thanks

Neil

I used to work there and also do seasonal maintenance. Who are you may I ask.

I'm Neil and worked there in 1989 then 91-94.

I worked there for 4 years and was ride manager for Wilkies Wonder Waltzer for 3 years and did a lot of maintenance on it.

Where is it in preservation as I would love to see it?

Neil

I was the ride manager on the waltzer from 91-93/4 and was spinning some cars when car number 7 (green) came off owing to the shearing of a tungsten locking bolt.

It landed on the flat back and wedged between the platform and the barrier and stayed where it was. 4 or 5 people in the car but no injuries sustained to any person.
