For twenty-four years the Sky Whirl was a ride where you could sit down with some friends to talk or you could sit down with your girlfriend or boyfriend for a romantic rendezvous.

Basically the way the Sky Whirl worked is that while one arm is down on the ground loading passengers the two other arms would be in the air slowly spinning around.
