The first wooden roller coaster is credited to LaMarcus Adna Thompson, who built it in 1884 at Coney Island, New York. Known as the "Switchback Railway," it featured a simple design with a series of dips and turns, marking the beginning of modern Roller Coasters. Thompson's innovation paved the way for the development of more complex and thrilling roller coaster designs in the years that followed.
