Some "new" old footage of coasters has appeared on Youtube recently. Seriously, some brilliant stuff here if you're interested in coaster history (and if you're not, you should watch these anyway
)!
First up, two videos featuring the famous Aeroplane coaster - generally regarded as the best coaster ever made - there's even a quick shot on one of the helix of doom!!!

Triple Racing Woodie in Dallas!

And finally, a Fred Church Bobs at Coney Island, NY!

Now, people may not know why this is so exciting. I've found very few actual photos of Flying Turns or the Aeroplane coaster. To see film footage is Holy Grail kind of stuff!!! I hope you enjoy?
