Manufacturer | Leisure Sales, UK |
Type | Round-Up |
Meteorite was a Round-Up ride previously produced by UK manufacturer Leisure Sales. Four units were produced between 1977 and 1979, all for UK-based customers. The relatively small number produced is partly explained by the saturation in the UK market, with companies Sam Ward and Cadoxton Engineering introducing a large number of Round-Up rides to the country during the mid-late 1970s.
