The remarkable thing is that after the first hill, it’s all done by gravity.
Being the PNE, they gave out hotdogs rather than birthday cake. Dubbed the “’58 Special,” after the year the coaster opened, it features hickory sticks on top, to simulate the slats of Douglas fir that underpin the track.
That would be coaster-speak for the coaster’s route. Essentially, it’s lifted up a hill via a chain, then drops from the sky, sending it careening around the track in a series of curves and dips. “The one remaining testament to my grandfather’s work is here in Vancouver,” Phare’s grandson Toby Fraley said in a statement. “When I climb aboard this ride, I feel as if I can sense his presence.”
The PNE spent $2 million over the last two years maintaining the coaster. The ride takes about 90 seconds, and reaches maximum speeds of up to 80 km/h at the steepest drop.
