The Double Whirl was a ride at Olentangy Park that opened in May 1911.
Description
The ride was a steel structure that has a dome 30 feet (9 meters) tall that spins horizontally. On each of its six steel arms, there is a six-seat Ferris wheel that spins vertically. The ride was covered in electric lights to add a sense of wonder at night[1].
