Waltzer A Waltzer is a flat fairground ride that often forms the centrepiece of traditional Scottish and English fairs. The ride consists of a number of cars which spin freely while rotating around a central point, in much the same way as a carousel. As the cars revolve, the floor of the ride undulates over a track so that the cars rise and fall gently as the ride spins. The offset weight of the riders causes each car to rotate. The riders experience varying levels of g-force from the spinning of the car, and the rotation of the ride itself. Because of this it is suitable for young people and adults – operators will impose height and age restrictions.

It was originally known as Hades before the 360 degree roll was added in 2013. It is the largest roller coaster in the park.

The ride was designed by The Gravity Group.

Wedgewood Village Amusement Park Wedgewood Village Amusement Park was an amusement park in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. It was originally started in 1955 by Maurice Woods and located at May and 63rd, where it was known as Duffys Golf. Maurice started to notice that wives and children were sitting in their cars while their husbands used the driving range. Thus, the idea was to place a few kiddie rides to keep them occupied. The rides became so popular that Maurice decided to acquire the land at 63rd and N.W. Expressway. Here he built Wedgewood Village (named after the idea of a wedge and wood golf club). This took place in 1958 and lasted until 1969. Most of the rides were sold after the 1968 season. The park sported a number of rides, most notably the Tornado coaster.
