11 Antique Roller Coasters You Can Still Ride

Featured Replies

The Beast made this list although I don't really consider it as "Antique".  The one I like on the list because of it's name is #8 in Farmington, UT . . . it is just called "Roller Coaster" . . . kind of gave me a chuckle.  First time I ever heard of it, but looks fun being on the side of a mountain.  Maybe just good for the views.  IDK

I looked up more information about the "Roller Coaster" at Lagoon in Utah.  I guess it just sits at the bottom of the mountain.  But this is a John Miller designed classic woodie built in 1921.  It really could use a new paint job.

There are at least a couple of us here that have ridden it many, many times.

As for a paint job, be careful what you wish for. That can lead a direction you do not want.

They used to paint it white almost every season but stopped doing so because they replace a section's lumber once a year and wanted it to have its classic look back.

Roller Coaster's original color was brown.

Lagoon seems very proud of the ride so I think it's safe under its current management.

Oh, I almost forgot. It's a great ride.
