Central Park was the "other" well known park in the Allentown area (Dorney Park is still operating). The most well known feature of the park was the Derby Racer racing coaster. This ride was said to have cost $50,000 when it was built in 1912. It was a side friction ride when built. Since John Miller was involved with the ride, it is very possible that it was converted to under friction.
