It's not everyday that you can experience the world's oldest roller-coaster but for a few bucks you can! Word of advice, sit in the front seat, suprisingly it is so much more comfortable! Either way, its incredle to see and ride an engineering marvel of a past time and compare to the rides of today. The park is free and offers many other activities for families.

One of my favorite roller coasters, when it comes to roller coasters I'm pretty satisfied with them, but this one is a great one to say that it's one of my favorites because of it's history and that it was my 1st roller coaster that wasn't meant for kids! The part that makes it fun is that little pop of airtime you get on the dips!

This thing is the oldest operating roller coaster in the world. It's a great classic ride and of course historical. It opened in 1902. I highly recommend ridding this if you are ever near Altoona PA and want to visit Lakemont Park.

Boy of boy was this wooden Jesus-made coaster a kickin' time for me and the glam fam! I loved how just riding this coaster brought me and my beautiful children together, having a hip time! Not only did we ride Leap the Dips, when we got to the tippity top, a baseball suddenly hit me smack dab in the side of the noggin! Yes it hurt, but it was such a story to tell to my co workers that I got a home run ball from the stadium right next to the coaster! Definitely suggest this ride to human beings aged about 3 years and 5 months to anyone that can simply walk, because this coaster is meant for everybody but babies! I will be back,...

This is the oldest operating roller coaster in the US, and is totally different than most modern rides as it is "side friction" rather than having any upstop or flanged wheels that lock the wheels to the track. This allows for a very different ride experience as well as a different visual coaster, which is not found on other coasters anymore. This type of ride was once common in the early 1900's but this is the last one remaining, after much refurbishment and work done to it. If you are interested in ride history, this is a must ride. Please support the small parks and...

Great classic wooden coaster. Oldest coaster in the world and it is a much different experience. This was fun to see a piece of history and the way coasters were built back then. I rode in the front seat and my wife went in the back. She had much more airtime than me. This is a side friction coaster, and the cart actually appears to briefly leave the tracks on the drops. This is part of the experience and gives some airtime. A great...
