Skyliner Pictures

Amusement Park Pictures > Lakemont Park > Roller Coasters > Skyliner Pictures

A look at the entire coaster.
(click on the photo to see the extra large, high resolution version)

The sides of the trains say 'Go Curve' in reference to the Altoona Curve AA baseball team.
Skyliner is prominent over the right field wall of Blair County Stadium (where the Curve play home games) and this seems to be a unique way of supporting the local team.

(Now the previous photo makes a little more sense, huh?)

The Skyliner originally opened in 1960 at Roseland Park in New York.
Roseland closed in 1985 and then in 1987 Skyliner was relocated to Lakemont.

The turnaround section of the ride that juts out from the main part and forms the 'L' shaped layout.

Skyliner is 60 feet tall with a 45 foot drop. The layout is 2400 feet long.
It gives a pretty decent ride that is beyond what those statistics would suggest.

The track runs right along side the loading station (right side of photo) at this point.

Skyliner was designed by John Allen and built by the Philadelphia Toboggan Company.
