Loop-O-Plane stood on the midway directly across from Paratrooper's original location (which was then home to Aerial Swing). It was the first inverting ride at Waldameer. It opened in the 1930s, and closed at some point in the 1950s.
The ride consisted of one arm with two two-passenger seats. Propelled by an electric motor, the ride would swing back and forth until it eventually would invert its riders.
