I went on Canvey’s Wild Mouse so many times. Watching the footage here I can remember that cranking noise as you went up to the top and when it stopped as you reached the top you felt as if you were going straight over the edge as it jerked right – thrilling ride at the time for a young child! Great footage of the Helter Skelter and Bumper Cars as well.

Ahh what a wonderful film.. I loved the Wild Mouse, the way it slowly creaked its way up to the top and made sharp turns before plunging back down again. This film brought back lovely memories of coach trips to Canvey Island and Walton on the Naze in the late 60’s early 70’s .. Thank you .
