The Flying Cars was an attraction at Riverview Park in Chicago, Illinois, that was introduced in 1954.
As the drum would spin, the single person cars would follow the track and eventually begin to go upside down.
[2] The drum steadily increased its speed and the cars would let it roll beneath their wheels as they followed the track.
The cars' brakes were then applied causing them to quickly accelerate up to the speed of the drum's surface, around 30 mph (48 km/h).
[citation needed] There was also a fatality when a young female failed to properly fasten her safety belt and was killed after falling out.
