No history or technical descriptions. Just feelings...
This happened once every few months, more often in the summer... For exemplary behavior and excellent grades, or when someone came to visit us with children, a holiday began... You look forward to the weekend as something special, since the parents PROMISED to take to the park!
Any landmark for an amusement park is, of course, the “Ferris Wheel”, or popularly the “Ferris Wheel”... Every time you look at it with mixed feelings - it’s so HUGE... creepy... Many people were afraid of heights, and their parents told them to wait when I turn 14! So I waited until I was 14 with fear and delight!
The Ferris wheel is the King of attractions... Silently looking at the whole city...
I think everyone has heard about the horror story that someone you know is sure to get stuck on the Wheel, and if this happens, then no one will get you out of there for a very long time... So you will sit in the booth and coo :)
I had many favorite rides. The first one is Orbit. We called it Chamomile...
When the Orbit accelerated, its roar was reminiscent of the sound of a jet plane taking off... The vibration of the seat tickled the whole body... Adrenaline took over as it dived down... Your legs touched tree branches...
A light version similar to Orbit...
Boats, of course! An adequate partner was needed to try to make the “sun” and hear the employee’s swearing!
Colors according to preference. The most interesting thing was to BRAKE! Strike the stand and hold on tight to the handrails due to the impact...
Illusion. In our opinion, "vomit". I haven’t been to every park, I think only in large cities. We did not have...
Chain carousel (“Chain”). One of my favorites! You can swing and touch your neighbor with your feet, which cannot be done in Orbit :) Or you can spit at your hated classmate sitting behind you))
For smaller ones - “Sun”. I don’t know how the little ones felt on it, I never had a chance to ride it, I grew up by that time
"Cabin Boy" is also for small children, but I managed to do it too! Characteristically swayed like cutting through the waves
"Fun Hills" for all ages
Where would we be without the legendary children's Carousel! We called them "Horses"
What was the most important thing for the boy on the rides? Of course it's...
Ram everyone indiscriminately!
And naturally, the legend of our time is the Moskvich pedal car. I don’t remember how much it cost to ride it... But when I once couldn’t fit into it because I had grown... That was my first disappointment in life!
I also remember this “Rocket”
Finally, a couple of photos with happy faces! There was an atmosphere of absolute childish happiness in the park...
And this is what most parks have turned into now... A sad picture...
A bygone era...
Although now there are much cooler attractions, THESE WERE SPECIAL...
