This photograph transports us back in time to the thrilling and exhilarating atmosphere of The Helter Skelter at The New Zealand International Exhibition, held in Hagley Park, Christchurch, in 1906. The Helter Skelter, a popular ride at funfairs and exhibitions around the world, was a towering structure of interconnected slides that provided hours of entertainment for visitors young and old. The image captures the excitement and anticipation of the crowd as they eagerly await their turn to experience the thrill of the slide. The Helter Skelter, with its brightly colored stripes and intricate design, stands tall against the backdrop of the lush greenery of Hagley Park. The sun casts dappled shadows across the grass, adding to the sense of joy and wonder that permeated the exhibition. The New Zealand International Exhibition was a significant event in the country's history, attracting visitors from around the world to showcase New Zealand's achievements in agriculture, industry, and culture. The Helter Skelter was just one of the many attractions that drew crowds and provided a sense of fun and excitement amidst the educational and informative displays.
