what Wes said ...
As I look through more old newspapers, I am learning there were many more roller coasters around Wisconsin than I ever knew. There is still a park in Green Bay (has the Zippin Pippin), but in 1930, they boasted the grand opening of The Greyhound - Wisconsin's Largest Roller Coaster. More surprising than that is the local "Waverly Beach" on Lake Winnebago, right there in Menasha, where those folks lived, had a rollercoaster in those days. (Not to be confused with Waverly Beach in Beloit, WI)(or anywhere else)
Here is a description of the "Jack Rabbit" at Waverly Beach (first constructed in May 1924)
"The coaster ... is known as a "figure eight" ... There will be about 3,000 feet of track ... about 95,000 feet of timbers will be required for its construction ... The drops or valleys into which the little tram cars descend will vary in depth, but the biggest drop will be 45 feet."
and I found a historical photo - though most of the coaster is obscured
