Notes: | Careful study of the playfield in the flyer seems to show a quantity of eight flags flying over the amusement park. We do not know if these flags were installed throughout the production run, and many playfields that we have seen do not have all or any of these flags. The flags look fragile enough to not survive the life of the game. As well, some playfields may now contain reproduction flags that have since been made available.
The Ferris wheel on the playfield carries the ball for a portion of its rotation. This idea appears earlier on Allied Amusement’s 1935 ‘Barrel Roll’. |
