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] Invented by Charles Albert Marshall of Tulsa, Oklahoma, the Ocean Wave was the precursor to modern Pirate Ship rides.[2] 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]
