Wooden coasters with their base. They are laser engraved and cut and varnished for greater durability. They can be used as 3 separate coasters or as 1 large coaster when they are all on their base. The cells at the base are filled with epoxy resin.

The blueprints for Blue Streak at Conneaut Lake show the out-and-back layout that the roller coaster once boasted.
The coaster opened in 1938 and as of 2018 was one of the last operating roller coasters from designer Eddy Vettel.
Unfortunately, Blue Streak suffered damage from a fire on the park grounds in 2021 and will most likely never open again. (That's a story for another day....)

Two more days until one of our biggest episodes ever drops. You won't want to miss this tale on how a 100-year-old #rollerCoaster has survived some rotten luck over the decades to still be operating today.
The episode is so big we had to bring back our favorite cohost @dattmay to help us break everything down.
See you Friday!

Blue Streak at @cedarpoint will celebrate its 60th anniversary next spring. It is the oldest roller coaster at the park, designed by Frank Hoover and John C. Allen. The coaster boasts a top drop of 72 feet and a top speed of 40MPH.
Peep the view of the park from this 34 year old photo. A lot has changed.

Big Dipper at Geauga Lake was a John A. Miller designed wooden roller coaster that operated at the park from 1925 to the park's closure in 2007. The out-and-back coaster reached topped heights of 62 feet and top speeds of 35 MPH.
The coaster sat abandoned until it was finally torn down in 2016. It's a shame it wasn't able to be relocated.

Do you regularly travel to #Maine to ride #RollerCoasters ? Probably not, but maybe we should for Excalibur at Funtown Splashtown.
Excalibur is a CCI designed wooden roller coaster who is celebrating her 25th anniversary this year. Reaching a height of 100ft (30.5m) and speeds of 55MPH, she may be the best kept secret Maine has to offer tourists. Though we're a bit biased with that opinion.

The most quintessential part of Dragon Coaster at Playland Park has to be the iconic dragon that riders speed through mid-ride.
The ride is a classic - first opening in Rye, NY in 1929. She is an out-and-back coaster with a top height of only 79ft (24m) but is a favorite among classic roller coaster fans.

Look at this gem. A postcard from @knoebels showing the reconstruction of #Phoenix after it was transported from #SanAntonio #Texas
Do you see the parking in front of the ride? Imagine parking there!
If you've been to the park recently you know how different this area looks now. Lots of trees still, but an antique car ride, flat rides, and Phoenix Junction have also been built in this area.

Roller Coaster at Lagoon Park in Farmington, Utah is one of the oldest operating roller coasters in the world, opening in 1921. Designed by John A. Miller, this ride was once the only roller coaster in operation between Chicago and California.
The coaster in the image is painted white, however the park has let the roller coaster return to it's natural wood over the years.

10. Racer - @kenny_kangaroo
As only one of two Mobius looping coasters still in operation, Racer is a one of a kind roller coaster that everyone should have the chance to experience at least once in their life.
Have you ridden Racer? What side do you prefer to start on?
