The Speedway coaster operated from 1937 to 1983. Designed by Oscar Bitler, it was a wooden coaster with three-car trains propelled by a chain lift system. It was 1900 feet long and 53 feet high and a ride lasted about a minute and a half. A train circled the park and ran under the roller coaster. The following text for this section is by Bill Cook.
