It looks fun and cheap to build. Could it save Six Flags?

Here's video from the 1909 Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition showing how the ride operated:

looks kinda cool, not a crowd bringer, but a nice and cheap attraction.

I'd love to take a ride on that thing. It could be the headline atraction at some of the smaller Six Flags parks (KK). Great video.

I saw a PBS special on Coney Island and I remember seeing a ride similar to this. It was at Luna Park, NY.

I have question about the World's Fair of the past. Was it common to see rides from the World's Fair make to amusement parks back in the turn of the century? Most of the talk of World's Fair rides and attractions involve Walt Disney, but there must of have been other rides that made it into other parks. What recent World's Fair attraction had made it into the park? I know Epcot and Men in Black ride have a World's Fair connection in sprit and idea I just wonder what other thing's have come out?
Thanks
