History

Thrilled was designed by Philadelphia Toboggan Coasters in October 1923 and erected during the 1923-1924 off-season.^[1] Thriller opened in 1924. The ride originally featured a 60.5 foot tall second hill, but the height of that hill was later decreased to nearly a third of that.^[2]^[3] Alterations were also made on the series of small hills at the end of the ride.^[3]

Design

Trains

The ride originally operated with 3 trains with 3 cars per train. In each car, riders are arranged 2 across in 4 rows, for a total of 24 riders per train.. By the early 1960s, only a maximum of two trains operated due to overhead and safety concerns.^[1]
