Personally, I enjoyed this video: www.britishpathe.com/record.php?id=81144 I wonder why we don't have bumper cars like that nowadays? _________________ --Laura Personal count: 55 (CoasterCounter) | Last.fm

(deathbydinn) That's what it means. I never knew there were looping coasters in the early 1900s. When I was in high school, we watched some films where they showed them, and I thought, "Hey, they say that the Revolution at Magic Mountain is the very first looping coaster, but look at this..." Revolution was the first STEEL looping coaster ever, and the first in the modern age. In many instances, rides we thought were novel and feats of engineering in our lifetime were actually first done back when our grandparents and great-grandparents were kids.

It must be something in the German water or something, considering the origins of some of the greatest designers (Anton, for example). The ride looks like the old K'Nex looping coasters of the early 90's- and nearly as similar cars! _________________ Unified Pride: Skin isn't Dead.
