Tumble Bug

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A Tumble Bug is an amusement park ride. It has a circular track. Only 2 full-sized Tumble Bugs remain operating today; 1 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and 1 in Conneaut Lake, Pennsylvania. All fullsize instances are made by Traver Engineering. The ride also exists in a kiddie form. The length of the full-size Tumble Bug is 100 feet in diameter. The full-size has 6 cars, while the kiddie version had 4 to 3 cars. There are more kiddie versions operating today than there are full-sized.
