Drop the Dip, Wooden roller coaster in Coney Island, New York, US.

The Drop the Dip roller coaster measured 450 feet in length and 65 feet in width, featuring four passenger toboggan-style cars for riders.

Constructed in 1907 by Christopher Feucht, this wooden roller coaster introduced innovative steep drops that influenced future amusement park ride designs.

The roller coaster represented early twentieth century entertainment preferences in Coney Island, where families gathered for mechanical entertainment experiences.

During its operation, admission tickets cost 25 cents per person, and the ride generated approximately 20,000 dollars in revenue each season.

The roller coaster design originated from a mechanical toy model displayed in a dentist office, which inspired builder Feucht to create the full-scale attraction.
