On September 11, 1906, Harry G. Travor submitted a patent application for a roundabout that operated as a centrifugal swing with suspended seats. The patent detailed the historic Rocky Point ride known to generations of park enthusiasts as the Circle Swing. Before the swing's retirement in the mid-1960s, it was retrofitted and repurposed into other notable rides such as the Seaplane Deluxe and the Rocket. The park also had a similar swing suspended over the water near the pool.
