- HISTORY OF ROLLER COASTER INNOVATIONS.
- The first roller coaster actually built in the United States appeared at Coney Island, Brooklyn, New York in 1884. ...
- Later in 1884, Charles Alcoke designed a coaster with a continuous track, so that the ride ended where it began. ... By the end of the nineteenth century, all the most basic elements of the modern roller coaster were in place. ...
- The early 1900ās saw tremendous innovation in roller coaster design with Coney Island in Brooklyn still at the forefront of innovation. ... Many of the notable roller coaster designers of the 1920ās "golden age" made their start at Ingersollās park. The first high speed coaster, Drop the Dip (NJ), opened in 1907 and was also the first to incorporate lap bars Cartmell, 1989 . Through the two decades to follow, those lap bars and a strong grip were all that kept roller coaster riders in their seats. ...
- Miller, often considered the "Thomas Edison" of roller coasters, held over 100 roller coaster device patents.
- Often considered the "Thomas Edison of roller coasters" and the "father of the modern high-speed roller coaster," Miller held over 100 patents on roller coaster devices. Among his inventions were the safety ratchet (1910), shown in Figure 4, and underfriction safety wheels (1912) that lock the roller coaster cars to the track, two devices still used in roller coasters that have undergone no major design changes since his patent. He owned patents on Racing Coasters, brakes for both cars and tracks, car bar locks, flexible cars, flange locks on tracks, and roller coaster structuring. ... In 1924, however, John Miller designed and built the Whirl Wind (Olympic Park, Maplewood, NJ) for the specific plot of land that it occupied -- the norm in modern roller coaster design. John Miller was at least partially responsible for the roller coasterās "golden age" during the 1920ās Cartmell, 1989 .
- He designed the Cyclone coaster that appeared in five different locations, one under the name of Lightning. The only Cyclone coaster to survive the depression of the 1930ās was the one at Coney Island. Many enthusiasts agree that the Crystal Beach Cyclone, in Crystal Beach, Ontario, was the most terrifying coaster ever built. ... Unfortunately, at least to coaster enthusiasts, it was demolished in 1936. ...

- During this early point in coaster history, the first attempt at a loop-the-loop was made in France, in the 1850's. This ride called the Centrifuge Railway, featured a early coaster car (a seat attached to a chassis) that would travel through a loop with nothing but sheer centrifugal force holding both the car to the track, and the rider to the car. ...
