Closed	1937 (park closure)

Little is known about the Airplanes ride at Olentangy Park. This could have been the successor to the Flight Tutor rides since they lasted until the park's closure in 1937. The "Aeroplane" or "Airplane Ride" at similar parks was a Circle Swing type ride. This airplane ride was sold to the Haenlein Brothers' Zoo Amusement Park the following year.^[1] (also called Scioto Ranch Park).
