No.1 Waltzer John Birch Offride

Here's the fantastic machine from showman john birch. This machine moves very fast and always garantees the cars all have a really fast spin. The waltzer always has a good atmosphere, really good tunes all day and night.

Recently the machine has been given some new artwork and a whole new artwork painted on the front board. Other work will progress on the machine throughout the year.
