How was the Scrambler ride created? Whats is the ride's history?

Question

The scrambler is a ride that has three long arms which revolve around a central post. At the end of each arm hangs a group of seats on which the victims sit. These seats revolve in a circle at the end of the arm. The rider travels in a circle which in turn is moving around a larger circle.

Answer 1

The Scrambler was invented by Richard Hillman Harris of Georgia. The prototype was installed at Lakewood Fairgrounds, Atlanta, in 1938. Harris obtained a patent (US patent 2259691) in 1941. Eli Bridge acquired or licensed the patent from Harris, but more than ten years elapsed before the ride went into production. Eli Bridge's website lists the Scrambler as their first non-ferris wheel ride, and dates it to 1955.
