The Quiz: Which of these is the oldest working roller coaster in the world?
A The Wooden Minecart
B The Cyclone
C Leap-the-Dips
Leap-the-Dips is a modest figure-eight coaster in Pennsylvania’s Lakemont Park. It may not have the intensity and gravity-defying features of modern coasters, but it gives riders an authentic 1902-era thrill-ride experience. Though Leap-the-Dips was retired in 1985, it was restored and reopened in 1999, leading to its current title as the world’s oldest coaster still in operation.
The correct answer to this quiz is Leap-the-Dips.
