The Ocean Wave was a swinging ride at Olentangy Park installed in 1909.[1] It was an amusement device that was made to imitate the motion of a boat in the water.[2] Although found on playgrounds, this ride is often called a "witch's hat," but 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.[2]
