The Kiss Waltz, also known as Thurston's Kiss Waltz, was a track ride that was proposed to be moved to Olentangy Park in 1913 after its debut at Luna Park the previous year. It was invented and built by a Columbus magician named Howard Thurston.[1] The ride was supposed to be in 40 parks by 1913, but there was no other mention of it being at Olentangy Park.
Description
The ride consisted of barrels set on a track that travels through caverns and dark places. A man and woman each ride a barrel, holding each other in the position of waltzing.[1]
