Starliner

Cypress Gardens

This classic John Allen "out and back" wooden coaster was built in 1963 at Miracle Strip Amusement Park in Panama City Beach and operated there until Labor Day 2004. In 2005, the coaster was purchased and dismantled. The Starliner has since been relocated to Cypress Gardens under the close supervision of John Fetterman and Leonard Adams of Knoebels.
