In 1958, experts bet $100 that Vancouver's wooden roller-coaster wouldn't make it through the first hill. Builder Walker LeRoy not only proved them wrong, but the roller-coaster is still going strong after 50 plus years. Last week, the coaster was given "classic" and "landmark" status by the American Coaster Enthusiasts, the first coaster in North America to be given both designations, and only 20 worldwide.
Playland, the home of the roller-coaster, is open throughout the summer until September 27th.
