}} The Giant Skyrocket was a wooden roller coaster designed and built by Audley Ingersoll in 1924 for the now defunct Luna Park in Houston Texas. The roller coaster is significant for a variety of reasons. It is one of the largest roller coasters ever built and was Houston's first major roller coaster. It was later relocated to Houston's Playland Park with involvement by John A. Miller and H. S. Smith before ultimately being closed in the early 1960s. == History == The roller coaster was designed and fabricated at Lake Contrary Amusement Park in 1924 in St. Joseph, MO by Ingersoll before being shipped to Houston for assembly and construction. It is an "in and out" design with a long flat stretch after leaving the platform until the first lift hill. It had a height of 100 feet and an 87 foot drop with pictures suggesting an exceedingly steep angle. It continued thru three more hills until turning approximately 90 degree left and following a series of hills and turns before returning to the platform to form an 'L' layout. A second lift hill has been suggested in its original configuration but not confirmed. The length was stated to be "a mile and a quarter" or 6,600 feet. At the time of its opening it was reportedly the largest roller coaster in the United States.〔
