Summary[edit]

Description

Edwards’ Super Sonic Skid at Dingles Fairground Heritage Centre, Lifton, Devon


The Skid was another of the fast thrill rides built in the 1930s. This particular example was built by Robert Lakin of Streatham in 1937 for Hill Brothers of Bristol, but it stopped travelling when war broke out in 1939. Robert Edwards bought the Skid during the Second World War to open at the popular ‘Holiday at Home’ fairs in Swindon. Like the Dodgems and Chariot Racer, the Skid has been rebuilt over the years and had new scenery added in the 1950s, all decorated by Hall & Fowle.
