Thats Insane

This is a video I filmed back in 2014 of a first person view showing what it's like riding the world's oldest roller coaster. It's a piece of amusement park history that needs to be preserved. Located in Lakemont Park in the city of Altoona, Pennsylvania, less than 5 miles from downtown is the world's oldest wooden roller coaster and the last remaining side friction rollercoaster, built in 1902 by the E. Joy Morris company back when the park itself was only a few years old. It was closed for awhile in the 80's and 90's for repairs but in 1999 it reopened, restored to its former glory. Repairs need to be made from time to time, of course! But most of the time it still runs. It only costs $ to ride, and I say it's worth it just to ride a piece of history. I'm surprised that other YouTube roller coaster shows haven't ridden the Leap The Dips. Sure, it's not as much of a thrill ride as something you'd see in Six Flags, but it just can't compare to the eerie feeling of an old rickety roller coaster that jump
