Texas Tornado (formerly Cyclone) operated at Frontier Family Fun Park in Lancashire UK from 1939 until the park's closure in 1999. The 3,000+ feet of track went through color changes over the years, with the final decade or so of the ride existing in a natural wood tone.
Poor upkeep in the park's final years led to the ride being.....not so very pleasant for a lot of park visitors.

Giant Coaster at the now defunct Paragon Park in Massachusetts. The park was open from 1905 to 1984.
Giant Coaster was relocated to @SixFlags America after the parks closure and continues to operate today as Wild One. Originally built in 1917 by John A. Miller and Herbert Schmeck, Wild One is the oldest roller coaster in the Six Flags chain.
