The Legend roller coaster at Arnolds Park is the 7th oldest operating wooden coaster in the United States. Designed by John A. Miller this wooden coaster features a figure-eight layout that wraps around this historic lakeside amusement park. The Legend starts with a six-story lift that sets the three-car train in motion to travel the 2,000-foot-long track in just over one minute.
