Playland Coaster Gets ACE Landmark Status


Recommended Posts

Everybody who's ridden the old wooden roller-coaster at the PNE knows it's a classic. And it's been around for 51 years, which makes it one of Vancouver's true landmarks. Now it's official.

Roller-coastering's most prestigious body, the American Coasters Enthusiasts (ACE) will be conferring official "landmark" status on the PNE coaster today at Hastings Park. It was already rated a "classic" coaster, which means it's one of only five roller-coasters worldwide that have both honours.

Twenty roller-coaster aficionados will be on hand for the ceremony, including ACE officials from New York, Ohio and Washington state....

Designed by Carl E. Phare...quite the coaster it is, and well deserving of this honor, in my humble opinion...
