The Kiss Waltz, also known as Thurston's Kiss Waltz, was a track ride proposed to be moved to Olentangy Park in 1913 after its debut at Luna Park the previous year. It was invented and built by famous magician Howard Thurston[2][3][4], a Columbus native.[5] The ride consisted of barrels on a track that traveled through caverns and dark places. A man and woman each ride a barrel, holding each other in the position of waltzing.[5]
