Witching Waves

Witching Waves is a historical flat ride that was installed at several amusement parks worldwide.

The first was at Luna Park on Coney Island, New York, United States, in 1907,[1][2] where it was one of the most popular rides.

[3] It consisted of a large oval course with a flexible metal floor.

The whole of St Giles' … is thick with freak shows, roundabouts, cake-walks, the whip, and the witching waves.

[5] The ride can be seen in use at Luna Park in the silent movies Coney Island with Roscoe Arbuckle and Buster Keaton from 1917 and Speedy with Harold Lloyd from 1928.
