"The Teaser, adjacent to the Electric Tower, was a Mangel's designed ride that often made its passengers dizzy. Its main platform slowly rotated while those seated in linked chairs facing each other, could if they liked, grasp the hub between them and cause their seats to revolve around each other."

This was most likely between 1910 and the Dreamland fire in May 1911.

These types of scenarios remind of the movies, it's amazing that not that long ago shows like this actually existed right here in America. I hear so much about Coney Island, and to see it in what might have been its prime is a great treat.
