Here’s some more info about Final Jeopardy (I probably should credit my Google Adsense consultant, Mykle, who suggested this idea for TJ!F a few months back):
About the ride known as a helter-skelter:
A helter-skelter originated in Blackpool in the early 20th century, as pictured above, it’s a building with a slide nestled around the outside. You climb stairs inside of the tower and ride down to the bottom on the slide.
