Description:
A wooden roller coaster with a height of 25 feet (7.6 m) and a speed of 10 miles per hour (16 km/h). Switchback Railway was Cedar Point's first roller coaster. It was different in that it did not have a powered lift hill so the cars needed to be pulled back to the station by hand.Added to timeline:
