Well, I didn't think these existed but...I found these POVs of 2 historic and classic wooden coasters!

First up...the Coney Island Thunderbolt, which operated from 1925-1983, was SBNO 1983-2000, and then demolished. I can't post the videos directly into here but here's the link...

(Yep, flickr does videos now it seems...)

And...now we get REALLY REALLY OLD- The Tornado Bobs! This ride opened in 1926, but was burned in 1977 and never re-opened...

These videos by swampfoxer, not me. Enjoy.

Noticed these about a week ago--they're awesome. I didn't know POV video of the Thunderbolt existed online, and I certainly never expected POV video of the Bobs to have even been filmed, let alone made available! Thanks for sharing them here, McSalsa.
