So is Cedar Point , Which had it's first roller coaster opened in 1892! Thus making that 127 years ago. Cedar Point opened in 1870.

That roller coaster no longer exists. The Cyclone is operational. If you're talking firsts, Coney is still home to the first roller coaster in America, June 16, 1884, to be exact:

Yea I remember my mother telling me she used to ride that coaster when she was a kid.She said, to her it was the scariest rollercoaster ever,and it was very creaky, being it was wood.

Hey, Ron. Contrary to what those on Longuylant believe, Brooklyn isn't a foreign country.  Probably half the people in your neck of the woods are originally from there. You need to get yourself to Coney and take a few rides on it. Afterward, you can hit the boardwalk and enjoy some ice cold beers at Ruby's Bar & Grill.
