wrecking balls were formerly a pear-shape with a portion of the top cut off and they are currently spherical. This picture was taken in the 1950s. Pear-Shaped wrecking balls were used from 1922-1966. They do not make wrecking balls like this anymore and McDonald's did not do PlayPlaces yet when wrecking balls were like this but McDonald's does do PlayPlaces now.

The wreck of the SS Richard Montgomery on the Nore Sandbank in the Thames Estuary near Sheerness.
The SS Richard Montgomery was an American Liberty cargo ship built in 1943, the ship ran onto the sandbank in August 1944 and broke her back. The wreck still contains a large quantity of unexploded ordnance.

Wreck-Gar is one of the characters introduced in the 1986 movie.
