Loop the Loop was a dual-tracked steel roller coaster which operated on Coney Island, New York from 1901 to 1910. The coaster was one of the first looping roller coasters in North America. ==History== Loop the Loop was the second looping roller coaster ever to be built on Coney Island and was one of a handful of early looping roller coasters built in the United States in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The coaster was designed by Edward Green and manufactured by Edwin Prescott. The coaster was operated independently, and was not part of one of the cohesive amusement parks which existed on Coney Island. The coaster was built at the corner of West 10th and Surf Avenue on Coney Island, which is near the current location of the famous Coney Island Cyclone and at the location of the former Switchback Railway. The Loop the Loop lasted from 1901 to 1910 but was a relative commercial failure because of the low rider volume. This low rider volume was partly a function of the small cars that rode on the coaster, and partly a function of the fact that safety inspectors would not allow more than one car to move along the course at any given time.〔 The operators attempted to supplement the coaster's revenue by having an observation gallery where patrons could pay to watch others ride the roller coaster.〔 Rides on the coaster itself cost 10 cents.〔
