A ride called the Hey-Dey opened at Olentangy Park in 1931, just south of the Tumble Bug.[1][2] It operated on a circular track and "combines thrills of several earlier rides such as the Tumble Bug, Merry-Go-Round, and The Whip." It had cars that turned as they followed the track.[3] It had a "triple motion" and went 60 miles per hour around the corners.[4] The next year, it was moved near one of the park's entrances.[5]
