VIRGINIA REEL "Tyrolean Tubtwist," Joyland, Great Yarmouth, England

The last in the world! Virginia Reel Off-Ride/ POV, last ride of its kind. "This is the world's only remaining operating example of a quasi-Virginia Reel, albeit powered and in miniature form. The base of the channel is concrete with two superimposed metal tracks providing current to power the motors incorporated within each tub. The four tires that a) guide each tub and b) make it spin are in contact with wood panels at the side of the channel. As such the whole circuit is powered, although there are one or two sections where the downhill gradient allows the tubs to more-or-less freewheel." -rcdb.com Follow me over on socials for the most up-to-date information: My Travels:   / amusementinsider   Amusement News:   / amusementinside   Facebook:   / amusementinsider   News and Editorials: https://behindthethrills.com Virginia Reel Joyland Childrens Fun Park, Great Yarmouth, England, UK.
