Ellie's Garden Caterpillar was a Roundabout built by US manufacturer Allan Herschell Company that was previously located at Blackpool Pleasure Beach in Blackpool, Lancashire, England, UK.
History
The ride was originally built in 1960 and opened at Blackpool Pleasure Beach as Jolly Caterpillar as part of the Emberton's Kiddies Park.[1][2]
It would continue operation for over 50 years, surviving the retheming of the children's area into Funshineland and Beaver Creek.[3][4] At some point during its operation in Beaver Creek, the ride was rethemed to Ellie's Garden Caterpillar and repainted into new colours.
The ride closed after the 2008 season. It was then scrapped.
