Old Amusement Park ride: "The Tickler"

[BlueLine7045]

Just wanted to share this picture real quick. Was reading a blog post online today showcasing old amusement park rides that are either still around or no longer around and this is one of the ones I came across, the Tickler! Obviously, the name is why im posting it here. Must not be around anymore because I've never seen it before today.

This is Luna Park in Coney Island. The Tickler ride is still there but now it’s a roller coaster version of this old ride from the early 1900s.

I've seen an old postcard, beginning of 20th century. It was the same sort of ride, in south of France named "le chatouilleur", french word for "the tickler"...
