Airplane Coaster, Wooden roller coaster at Playland Park, New York, US.
The Airplane Coaster featured multiple sharp turns and rapid drops along its wooden track, providing sensations for riders at Playland Park.
Constructed by Prior and Church Company, the Airplane Coaster operated from the park's opening in 1928 until its closure and dismantling in 1957.
This wooden roller coaster represented early American amusement engineering, marking the beginning of mechanical entertainment at Playland Park in Rye.
