Whirlyfly

I was reading a book on coasters and it talked about the whirlyfly which is the mix between ferris wheel and rollercoaster and it said that noone is sure that it ever came through.all I could gather from it it was bound for Coney island NY

Did anyone else evere here about it?

I have seen artwork of the ride. It shows like a 3 car wheel on a little coaster track The photo is in a few coaster books. Ill look over my coaster books and see if I can scan it.

I dont think it was every made. But from what the artwork showed it was just like 3 box cars of a wheel maybe 10 feet tall. each box car held like 2 people and thetrack looked like it maybe had a 2 foot drop... lol

The have? Where was the news on that? It said in the book by Robert Coker is that it's not confirmed if it was even built.
