    Oh, that's fine. I just thought that it was actually fitting that it was upside down given the rest of the content in the post. Almost like AB did it that way on purpose.

    Amen to that.
    When I was a kid in MA, at a local year-round amusement park there was a fun house that was open all year. In it they had a big wheel, probably about 3 times the diameter of the one above, but it had nothing to hold onto. When it stopped the race was on to get to the center. Its surface was hard wood flooring and unless you were in the very center there was no way you could stay on it, it was just a matter of how long you could keep your hands planted to prevent slipping. Around the outside was more hardwood flooring shaped like a bowl so when you flew off you just slide to a stop as your body started up the sides of the bowl. It was a blast! It cost about a buck to go inside and you could stay as long as you wanted and ride that wheel all day long if you liked. There were other things to amuse also but the wheel was always where we spent most of our time.

    Ours was just a little local park, no fee to enter, had the wheel, some monkey bars and a large wading pool that was only about a foot deep. It was only a couple blocks from my house so even very young I was allowed to go there on my own. Weren't no big deal really but at the time it was a blast and in the hot summer the wading pool was the go to hang out.

    we had those "whirly wheel" things at all the elementary schools and the city park when I was a kid. Also had jungle gyms, monkey bars, see-saws and swings. Yeah, there was one or two broken bones every year, but mostly girls.

    I also was born and raised there. Went to high school in Arlington. Never been to Lake Jeep; but we all raced [more like a demo derby] on Crosby's Pond in Concord.
