LONG BEACH CA AMUSEMENT PARK -WOOD ROLLER COASTER PHOTO

GREAT SHOT OF THE WOOD ROLLER COASTER, CIRCA 1930. NOTE THE WOOD SHIP WRECKAGE ON THE BEACH. This would be a fantastic addition to your collection! It is a reproduction 8 x 12 inch glossy photo with white border. It is crisp and clear and perfect focus. Rollercoaster info: The first rollercoaster in Long Beach opened for business in June 1907; it was named the Figure 8 after the shape of the tracks, and was built on pilings that reached out over the water. In 1914 the Pike Amusement Zone undertook several upgrades and a new roller coaster named the Jackrabbit Racer was opened May 1915 becoming the second largest racing coaster in the country. It was part of the Silver Spray Pier which included several new rides and concessions. In the mid twenties, several expansions were made to the area and the Jackrabbit Racer was remodeled raising the ride's dips to a greater height and steepness but it was soon removed to make way for the Cyclone Racer roller coaster -The World's Greatest Ride- that opened May 1930. The new coaster was also built on pilings over the ocean, but as the breakwater was built and the harbor expanded, the sandy beach extended. Eventually the entire pier stood over the beach. When demolished in September of 1968 the Cyclone Racer was the only two track roller coaster in the United States. You will love it! I will ship in a photo mailer for safety.
