    There was also one in Paris as part of the Moulin Rouge Garden Party that was apparently designed with inspiration from the Coney Island one.

    Whilst digging, I also learned that the giant structure had been inspired by James V Lafferty’s “Elephantine Colossus”, a seven-story tourist attraction and hotel built on Coney Island in 1885, pictured below.
