Old Coasters

Hey guys welcome back, hope you all had a great spring break. I am very bored during this period of crisis so I decided to make a new list of coasters. This time I am going to be counting down the top six oldest coasters that are currently operational in the United States. So lets get right into the list. 6. Giant Dipper The Giant Dipper is a historic wooden roller coaster located at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk , an amusement park in Santa Cruz, California. It first debuted in 1924 and it serves one of the oldest coasters in the United States up to this day. The track's layout represents the classic wooden coaster layout that was first adopted during the 1900s. It was manufactured by Arthur Looff. It features the standard chain lift hill launch system. It is 70 ft tall and it features a 65 ft drop.The Giant dipper's track is 2,640 ft long and this coaster can reach up to 55 mph. Sure, it may not be much now but in those times this coaster was like the star of the park
