Description
This is the roller coaster at Playland in the Pacific National Exhibition, in Vancouver, BC, Canada. Playland's signature attraction, this wooden roller coaster built in 1958 has a maximum drop height of 20 m (75 ft) and speeds of up to 76 km/h (47 mph). The coaster was designed by Carl Phare. It is an ACE Coaster Classic. The Coaster was featured in the movie Riding the Bullet and was the "Bullet." It also made a brief appearance in the teenage thriller Fear (1996). (Wikipedia)
I rode on the coaster several times during my childhood in Vancouver in the 1950s and 60s
I have tried to make this a nostalgic, 50s-era photo although I shot it in August 2016.
