Wasn't the Waltzer and speedway the same machine - Just with different things attached to it? That was my memory of it.

 

I also like the Cyclone, but it was probably called different things in different places.

 

(edit: this one) - just don't sit the wrong side of someone heavy

I'm not a fan of Waltzers - love big dippers, and log flumes especially!

That was my favourite. We called it the scrambler.

 

I can't do the tall scary ones - weak stomach for heights. I remember the log flume at Alton Towers in the mid 80s, and the other water one with the huge tyre boat things that seated about six. Can't remember what it was called now
