simon8899 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Rutschebanan (1914) at Tivoli Copenhagen here also oldest wood coaster ever ridden. The oldest steel would be the Matterhorn Bobsleds (1959) and the Schwarzkopf Wildcat (1964). All are still in operation - the Wildcat even travelling on german fairs.

GigaG Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Oldest - Thunderhawk @ Dorney Park  Oldest Steel - I don't know, Cedar Creek Mine Ride probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroDan Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Big Dipper, Pleasure Beach Blackpool 1923 although parts of the Nick Streak opened originally as the Velvet Coaster in 1909. Â My oldest steel is probably Steeplechase, Blackpool (1977) or Thunder Looper, Alton Towers - which originally opened 1977 at Kings Dominion as King Cobra.
