Roller coaster at the Stuttgart fair, 1937

A wooden roller coaster rears up in curves and loops of timber trestle, strung with globe lamps on curved posts; a board shouts Hiiinein! at the passers-by, and small cars packed with riders tip over a crest, plunge into a bend and climb again beneath an ornate kiosk tower. Such coasters were built of wood by the travelling showmen themselves and taken down and put up again at every fair of the season.
