My favorite carnival ride! They changed the name of around here at some of the fairs. Alien abduction the boys tell me.

They were a ton of fun @Pawsfodocaws, I agree.
They have made the same ride with a bunch of names but no matter the name, it’s still a blast to walk on the walls and step over people. Freaks them out, lol.

It took some getting used to since the backboards moved up and down but once you got the hang of it the ride was a blast. If you were operating the ride you walked the inside rail around the control booth. I never fell but some did. One guy they called Neuf was drunk and fell one night, took many stitches to put Humpty back together, lol. We used to put the ticket box in the first spot by the entrance which had wooden walls that stuck out into the inside of the ride. When buddy went down he rolled across the top like a ping pong ball and slammed into that wall. The operator hit the emergency stop brining the thing to a rapid halt. Problem was the guy was stuck to that wall on the top of the ride, when it stopped the large metal ticket box hit the ground first and he came down on his face right into it. Lost a couple teeth too but in his case, you didn’t notice, lol.

At the age of 9 or 10 I was thrown off one of those in an older, very open version of that. I was hospitalized for three days with a massive concussion.
Edited to add a video of a more modern version of the one I was thrown off of. The one I was thrown off of went to a nearly 90 degree angle and had nothing at the top. I believe the rides were altered within a few years after my accident. That would have been like 72 or 73 and I was 9 or 10 when it happened. I was probably way too small for the ride in it’s configuration at the time. Came up with the age after speaking with my older brother.
