Tilt-A-Whirl to be official state ride--By: Hannah Mikels
The state of Minn. may soon have an official ride, according to kare11.com.
State Rep., Patti Fritz, DFL-Faribault, has introduced a bill that designates the Tilt-A-Whirl as the official amusement ride, according to wcco.com.
The idea was brought to Fritz's attention by 52 kindergarden students who are proud that the ride was invented in their town, according to startribune.com.
The Tilt-A-Whirl has seven four-passenger carts that spin independently on a wavy, circular platform, according to startribune.com.
The ride was first invented in 1926 by a Faribault man named Herbert Sellner and was debuted at the MInnesota State Fair a year later, according to kare11.com.
The Tilt-A-Whirl will join the ranks with many other state symbols such as the blueberry muffin, the monarch butterfly, and milk, according to wcco.com.
