All Blackpool Pleasure Beach...

Virginia Reel (1922) - I loved this ride :) It was sad to get back to BPB to find it gone.

Big Dipper (1923)

Roller Coaster (1933)

------------------
Coasters, kitties, beer n buddies - life *is* sweet :)

For the hell of it, here are the coasters I've ridden that are older than myself (1973):

Wild One (Wild World) - 1917
Jack Rabbit (Kennywood) - 1921
Racer (Kennywood) - 1927
Cyclone (Astroland) - 1927
Comet (Hersheypark) - 1946
Blue Streak (Cedar Point) - 1964
Mine Train (Six Flags over Texas) - 1966
Dahlonega Mine Train (Six Flags over Georgia) - 1967
Thunderbolt (Kennywood) - 1968
Mini Mine Train (Six Flags over Texas) - 1969
Cedar Creek Mine Ride (Cedar Point) - 1969
Blazing Fury (Dollywood) - 1971
Racer (Kings Island) - 1972

And lastly, I think the defunct Wild Mouse at Trimper's Rides was built in the 50s or 60s, even though at the time I rode it, it looked like it may have been over 500 years old. Some say it might have been a medieval torture device.

I get to count it regardless, because I rode it when it was still the Pippin. And it was a heck of a ride even then.

My oldest is Revolution. It was built in 1976. Yea it's not that old. I have also been on a replica of Cyclone. Does that count?
