Daddy built this rollercoaster. Finished it in 1964, can you guess where? Hint: Bet Seagrovegirl and Shallowsnole rode it a few times.

yeppers! That pic is of one of the starliner's first rides. Daddy said it was hand cranked back then.

We loved Miracle Strip! Where is the rollercoaster now?

Torn down. Maybe someone bought it. Daddy was just the contractor on the project in 1963. He finished the job in March 1964, my sister was 3 months old and he thought it was a good idea to take her on the first ride! Daddy didn't always think things out.

Honey, of course you wouldn't have ridden it in '64! So sorry for the confusion.....You were a BABY in the mid 60's.....WAY too young for a coaster.

It was dismantled and moved to Cypress Gardens. http://www.coaster-net.com/ridegallery.php?action=display&id=261

It was decided that the Starliner would be rebuilt at Cypress Gardens and become the park's signature roller coaster as it was at the Miracle Strip Amusement Park. It cost the park more than $4 million to reassemble the Starliner wooden roller coaster, which is now one of only four wooden roller coasters still operating in the state of Florida.
