Page 18 (bottom) of the Glimpses of the New Coney Island book: Looping the Loop Photograph of the Loop the Loop ride "This looping roller coaster, located at Surf Avenue and W. 10th Street, was the first to use an elipitical loop which was less stressful on passenger's necks. Unfortunately it had a low ride capacity and most people perferred to pay to watch rather than ride." (from: http://www.westland.net/coneyisland/mapsdocs/con06-map9.htm)
