Description
This was Mountain Park's first of three full size roller coasters (click
the picture above to see it full size). Riders would board a car
at one end of the ride, ride down a hill and then climb to another hill
where the process was repeated. This ride lasted until 1915 when
it was replaced by the Gorge Scenic Water Ride, a more modernized roller
coaster which traveled through scenic vistas. Later, the Mountain
Flyer would be built upon the same site.
