The Wooden Roller Coaster is constructed entirely of specially treated fireproof woods and was built from scratch on the PNE grounds. It's 75 feet high at its tallest point and in 1958, the year of its construction, it was one of the two highest roller coasters in North America. Speeds of 45 miles an hour are reached
Carl Phare, at that time, the world's foremost roller coaster builder and designer created the plan that Walker LeRoy of Oaks Park Oregon built from. It is the last roller coaster that Carl designed that is still standing and in use.
