The Tumble Bug, sometimes stylized as The Bug, was a steel rotating thrill ride[1][2] at Olentangy Park from 1929 until its closure in 1937. It was designed by Harry G. Traver, who also designed and built the Circle Swing and later, the Airplanes ride.
Installed near the Swimming Pool, part of the Figure Eight Toboggan was removed to make room for the ride. It cost 15 cents ($2.77 in 2024) to ride.
Injuries and Deaths
Donald Kennedy, 20, died from injuries from hitting a post while riding the ride in 1937.
