roller coasters

The rickety 97-year-old ride breaks down from time to time, which locals say is part of its charm.

Not only will Fort Tilden once again be open for business by summer, Coney Island is getting itself a new (old) roller coaster.

The park's owner says the boy got frightened and tried to climb out of the ride while it was in operation.

Gowanda resident Sgt. James Thomas Hackemer was on the Ride of Steel as it quickly crested a steep hill and apparently flew off because the lap bar couldn't be properly secured to his torso.
