This article is about the fairground ride. For other things with this name, see Helter Skelter (disambiguation).
A helter skelter is a funfair or amusement park ride with a slide built in a spiral around a high tower. Users climb up inside the tower and slide down the outside, usually on a mat. Typically the ride will be of wooden construction and, in the case of fairground versions, designed to be disassembled to facilitate transportation between sites. The term is primarily (but not exclusively) found in British English. The ride inspired the Beatles song of the same name and is also mentioned in the song Tonight, Tonight, Tonight from Genesis and Oasis' "Fade In-Out" .
