What's your oldest?

Wild One: originally opened in 1917.

Thunderhawk: opened 1923

Giant Dipper at Belmont Park: opened 1925

I am guessing the Jack Rabbitt, soon to be Leap The Dips. :-)

Gimme speed, height, airtime and plenty of LAUNCH!!!

Oh, hey... I totally forgot about Blackpool. I guess I have to amend my list to:

Leap the Dips, Jack Rabbit (KW), Big Dipper (BPB), Thunderhawk (DP), Grand National (BPB).

Isn't it nice, sugar and spice, luring disco darlings to a life of vice.

1. Jack Rabbit - Kennywood - 1921
2. Big Dipper - SFWOA - 1926
3. Racer - Kennywood - 1927

Wow, two of the best air machines in the world! (Big Dipper and Jack Rabbit)

God wants spiritual fruits, not religious nuts!

pretty much second to leap the dips (excluding that one before 1900 lol), and it's still running great:

Scenic Railway- Luna Park Melbourne (1912)

i still love it lol, the ride itself circles the whole small amusement park

Nemesis: Inferno [6]

I've only logged 87 different woodies but my oldest would be the Kennywood Park Jack Rabbit (1920) followed by the Big Dipper, Blackpool (1921).
