This was the 200th roller coaster I've ever ridden and it is a classic. This coaster was designed by Edward A. Vettel, built by the TM Harton Co, and opened here on May 17, 1940 and still operates using manual brakes which makes it the third manually braked coaster I've ridden behind the Wild Chipmunk at this park and the Rollo coaster at Idlewild Park. According to RCDB.com, this coaster is 2,800 ft. long, 80 ft. high, and has a ride duration of about two minutes long. It originally had trains that were designed by Edward Vettel but the park decided to rebuild the trains on their own. This coaster was given the ACE Coaster Classic award in August of 2003 by the American Coaster Enthusiast club.
