Yep, the “Shoot the Sky” coaster. Built in 1923 if I remember. It was an “out and back.” Had a fire in the engine house under the main hill in the early 70’s. Destroyed the mail lift hill and a tunnel of love that ran beneath it.

They hired some local carpenters to rebuild the main lift hill. That was scary.

And I remember that fire being in the local news. Wow - having a flashback here. Where did you work in Morris County?
