The ride opened to the public in 1909 and operated until 1926.[1] The Backety-Back Scenic Railway was notable for a backward-traveling innovation which would be adopted many years later in more modern steel roller coasters.[2] It was also one of the earliest shuttle roller coasters to be built,[3] as well as being the second roller coaster to be built in the Crystal Beach amusement park.[4] The coaster has been cited as a particularly beautiful example of roller coaster architecture.[5] HistoryBackety-Back Scenic Railway was built in 1909 by Pennsylvanian John H. Brown and construction of the coaster cost $50,000.[6] Backety-Back Scenic Railway was the only roller coaster Brown would ever build.[7] In 1904, however, he patented the unique track-reversal design which made the coaster a predecessor to modern shuttle roller coasters.[8] Track layout and ride experienceBeing a shuttle roller coaster, Backety-Back Scenic Railway traveled over its course both forwards and backwards. The coaster had two lift hills and also necessitated the operation of a switchman when the coaster had reached the end of its forward progress.[6] Following this reversal, the train would engage a second reversal and continue on its way.[8] The course of the roller coaster was a twister layout[9] and the roller coaster had a curved tunnel in its course as well.[6] Trains had 2 cars of 5 rows apiece, with each row having two riders.[8] The coaster had a large station which resembled a riverboat in shape. Inside this station was a ticket office (tickets were sold for 10 cents) and the queue for the ride itself.[8] IncidentsIn 1910, a 17-year-old girl, Louise Koch was killed after falling from the Backety-Back Scenic Railway.[9] The coaster had minimal safety features, and the only restraints were the sides of the cars themselves.[8] References1. ^{{cite RCDB|coaster_name=Backety-Back Scenic Railway |location=Crystal Beach |rcdb_number=1855|accessdate=August 9, 2013|url=}} 2. ^{{cite book |last1=Francis |first1=David W. |last2=Francis |first2=Diane DeMali |authorlink= |title=The Golden Age of Roller Coasters |url= https://books.google.com/books?id=4d9oXyOZubIC |accessdate=August 9, 2013 |year=2003 |publisher=Arcadia Publishing |location= |isbn= 0738523380 |page=}} 3. ^{{cite RCDB|coaster_name=List of shuttle roller coasters |location= |rcdb_number=|accessdate=9 August 2013|url=http://rcdb.com/r.htm?order=-10&ot=2&ca=115&page=10}} 4. ^{{cite RCDB|coaster_name=Crystal Beach |location= |rcdb_number=4716|accessdate=August 9, 2013|url=}} 5. ^{{cite book |last=Cartmell |first=Robert |authorlink= |title=The Incredible Scream Machine: A History of the Roller Coaster |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Qtyoe7tlkVcC |accessdate=August 9, 2013 |year=1987 |publisher=Popular Press |location= |isbn=0879723424 |page=}} 6. ^1 2 {{cite book |last=Hirsch |first=Rose Ann |authorlink= |title=Western New York Amusement Parks |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=xtrLDCJYVsAC |accessdate=August 9, 2013 |year=2011 |publisher=Arcadia Publishing |location= |isbn=0738574562 |page=}} 7. ^{{cite RCDB|coaster_name=List of John H.
