Rides From The Past - Episode 4 - The Chance Rides Sky Diver UK

Welcome back to the mini-series from Fair-Pix Videos.

Martin talks about novelty rides which graced the UK fairground scene in the past. For Episode 4, Martin talks a ride that really fascinated him and he really got some enjoyment in compiling this 23 minute video.
Between 1987 & 2002, there was a Sky Diver wheel from Chance Rides touring the UK, only two showmen travelled this iconic ride William Summers (1987-1995) and George Wharton (1996-2002).
The detail of its career is highlighted mostly with photographs, screenshots and some video clips resourced from third parties. Below is the list of all sources used and links for you to
