Chutes Construction
Looff was known to be a quick builder with an eye for engineering. Space was limited on the two frontage lots, so Arthur made sure he would utilize as much as possible. Rides like the Chutes and Big Dipper were huge structures. Space was a premium, so Looff engineered many of the concessions into the structure of the rides.. The more concessions you can lease out the more money one can make. Not only did Arthur bury the concession into the Superstructure of the rides, he built the rides to interconnect with each other. Overlapping and intermingling the rides.
