Facade for The Devil’s Disc by British scenic painter Herbert Darby, 1920s.
The Devil’s Disc = German name adapted for the original American ride, “The Joy Wheel”; basically a giant spinning dish that discards thrill-seekers who aren’t secured in. This facade lovingly shows the gates of hell as the entrance to the attraction.
