Platform rides resource section

This section gives access to researched ride lists for platform rides. It includes resources for Arks, Waltzers, Autodromes, Caterpillars and Swirls (not traditionally a platform ride, but included here for nostalgic grouping). Historical research into these rides has been ongoing, with recent efforts by researchers such as Kevin Scrivens, Michael and Stephen Smith, Ross Jones and Tommy Green producing ride lists and articles. The approach up until now has been a pooling of resources and knowledge, and an acceptance that completion and accuracy is always something to be aimed for rather than stated as being acheived. It is hoped that the NFA online resource of these lists will allow a continuation of this spirit of working together.
