Wooden Roller Coaster at RCDB

The PNE Roller Coaster is a wooden roller coaster at Playland in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Opened in 1958, it is the oldest roller coaster in Canada. [2] The ride is 2,840 ft (870 m) long—which established it as the largest roller coaster in Canada at the time it was completed—and has a height of 68 ft (21 m) and speeds of up to 76 km/h (47 mph).[3][4] The coaster was awarded the Coaster Classic and Roller Coaster Landmark statuses by American Coaster Enthusiasts.[5][6][1]

History

The Wooden Roller Coaster opened in 1958. At the time, it cost over $200,000 to make, and was 40 cents for guests to ride.[7] Designed by Carl Phare and Walker LeRoy, the ride was the final design of Phare's career, and is his only creation that is still standing.[4]

In film and television

The Coaster was featured in the 2004 horror movie Riding the Bullet and was the "Bullet". It also made a brief appearance in the 1996 teenage thriller Fear.

The Coaster was also featured in the background of the MacGyver episode “Brainwashed”
