Scrambler (ride)

[2][better source needed] In 1941, Harris was granted a U.S. patent for the design,[3] which was then acquired or licensed by the Eli Bridge Company.

[2][better source needed] In late 1953, the Eli Bridge Company road-tested its Scrambler ride,[4][5] and sold the first five by the end 1954.

[6] The Eli Bridge Scrambler had one of its first major showings at the 1955 Florida State Fair, where it grossed $1,700 (at 25 cents a ride) in a single day and interested many additional buyers.

A Cyclone, also known as a Lifting Twist, manufactured by ARM UK, has very much the same function and appearance as a normal Sizzler, except that the centre structure begins to lift with the cars once it reaches up to normal speed until it reaches above the fence level, where it remains for the duration of the ride.

After the full speed part is over, the centre structure begins to lower back to platform level as the ride slows down to a stop.
