What about Coney Island?
didn't they used to have a steeplechase, and 2 other wooden coasters?
I'm sure tons more had come over the years. It is Coney Island after all!

movies+coasters= the most fun you could ever imagine!

I think MovieCoast got it. With the whole Coney Island (Steeplechase, Dreamland, Luna, and Astroland), there were over 50 coasters over time. There are only 3 left.
Here are the coasters that were removed:

The area of NYC called Coney Island had MANY coasters over the years (50 coasters?) but only one remains from "the golden age", the Cyclone at Astroland. (is there another one there? A jumbo Jet?). The thing to keep in mind... Coney Island was never 1 park. The four most famous ones were Luna (closing in around 1946), Dreamland (closing 1907) and the 1st and 2nd Steeple Chase parks(home to the mentioned Steeple Chase coaster, closing for good in 1964).

It seems like the early history of Coney Island was that of "Senic Railway" coasters and some odd types... such early Loop-the-loop coasters and even a Cannon coaster (where the car was "supposed" to jump a gap in the tracks). In those early days it also seems like coasters would last for a few years and then be torn down and replaced when the public demanded something new. Coney Island parks are also remembered for another reason... Fire. 1st Steeple Chase suffered a fire in it 1907 (and its owner did not miss an opportunity... charging 50 cents I believe perperson to see the smouldering ruins, it was later rebuilt), Dreamland destroyed by fire in 1911, and Luna park burning in 1946.

Lots of good articles on Coney Island and its history can be found at http://naid.sppsr.ucla.edu/coneyisland/

I figured that Coney Island would have a lot, but not that many...:)

Hey, •, you forgot the Blue Streak at Kings Island. That (I think ) is now one of the kiddie coasters at PGA
But I wouldn't actually count Coney Island as they were separate parks, not all one thing. My *guess* would have to have been Riverview in Chicago. But I have NO data to support that claim. Maybe Riverview_Mike will come out of hiding and bless us with a word...

Which is what I cautioned in my post. As far as Riverview Park in Chicago... do we wish to count this? I mean that entire park was "removed". Had it remained in existance, I am sure some of its coasters would still be in existance.

Cool, another fan of coaster history; I though I was the only one :)
I guess coasters were cheap enough that they could be torn down after a few years. There weren't that many in the actual three-four parks, most of them were independent and operated by concessionaires. (like the existing Coney Island Rides)
