Cool! Is that a Vollmer kit? I know Vollmer and another German model company make a lot of amusement park stuff. I don't have anything like that on the layout yet. Right now I'm working on a gauge 1 prewar tinplate layout.
I do have plans for some sort of amusement park/carnival type operation.

No, but I'd like a circus ;) I've noticed more and more HO-scale amusement stuff in Walther's catalogs - all European though.

Many real amusement park rides are of European manufacture. Lots of companies in Switzerland.

now if they made a wooden roller coaster in tune with a post war layout, I would be tempted.

Disneyland's Matterhorn is considered one of the first steel coasters disguised in the mountain. You can't get more post war than this. Granted it doesn't hang from the track.
