The Loop the Loop roller coaster on Young’s Pier in Atlantic City.
Opened in 1901, it was one of the earliest looping roller coasters in the United States. This racing coaster featured an oval loop, reducing the g-forces produced by the earlier Coney Island Flip Flap Railway with a circular loop. Despite these design improvements, the ride was reported to be unpleasant. This, paired with the ride’s low capacity (only four individuals could ride the coaster every five minutes), led to its last ride in 1912.
