One of the last remaining examples of the classic "Tumble Bug" ride can be found at Kennywood under the name of the Turtle. Originally known as the Tumble Bug, new cars resembling turtles were purchased in the late 1940s. The entire line of six turtles roll around a hilly track in a circle, upon desecinding from each hill gives riders "airtime". Due to the circular seating within each turtle and no restraints, this makes for a very fun ride.
