HISTORY & INFO

It's been hard trying to find out exactly what this ride was. After some research and a few helpful emails, I found an old photo of the Rockets with airplanes attached to the cables instead of rockets. It seems that the Aeroplane Swing was the name of the ride while these planes were on it.

I still don't know how long it was like this, but I doubt it lasted past the 1950's. It's possible that the planes were destroyed in the Fire Of 1953. The tower wasn't taken by the fire, but many of the buildings which they used for storage during the winter burned down. It's possible the planes were being stored in one of the buildings.
