The Ocean Wave was a swinging ride at Olentangy Park. It was an amusement device that made to imitate the motion of a boat in the water.[1] Although found on playgrounds, this ride often called a "witch's hat," this version appears to have been much bigger.

Injuries

In July 1909, Earl Sands, 14, suffered a badly crushed leg after his leg became caught beneath the platform. It took three stitches to close a gash in the leg below the knee.[1]
