1903: Topsy, the Elephant Electrocuted by Thomas Edison at Coney Island’s Luna Park » ElephantCoaster
The fire also destroyed Lorenzo Shaw’s Channel Chute, a wooden roller coaster built in 1895 that encircled the hotel and was often called the Elephant Scenic Railway.
This ride featured cars that were taken by elevator to the top and then circled back down around the Elephant. The nearby Toboggan Slide survived the fire.
