Racer
Kennywood
This John Miller classic is a truly unique roller coaster. Racer is the only Mobius or single continuous track racing coaster in the United States and one of only three left in the world. Riders leaving the station on one side, return on the opposite side because of a reverse curve in the layout. While the trains are racing hold out your hands, as you can high five the hands of the passengers in the opposing train. Racer's historic station is also noteworthy as it has been designated a National Historic Landmark.
