George Consider Hale was the fire chief for the Kansas City Fire Department and retired in 1902 at the age of 52. He was a prolific inventor who held over 60 patents, mostly for firefighting equipment. At Olentangy Park, his invention, "Tours of the World," was a "Phantom Ride" that used the building's interior, effects, and film to create what we'd now call a virtual reality experience of traveling without actually moving.[1]
