The major features of the new park were the roller coaster and large dance hall.  But the park also added a carousel, dodge-em’, shooting gallery, penny arcade, children’s playground, and a wading pool.

The 75 feet tall “Wildcat” roller coaster at Fern Brook was designed by Herb Schmeck and built by the famous Philadelphia Toboggan Company (PTC), now Philadelphia Toboggan Coasters of Hatfield, Pennsylvania.  It was PTC’s fifty-ninth roller coaster; PTC’s first was built in 1904 for Pine Beach in Norfolk, VA. (Early roller-coasters were called toboggan riders.)  The PTC company, which still manufactures amusement rides, also built carousels.  It built the “Wildcat” coaster at Hershey Park in 1923; the “Giant Coaster/Pippen” at Rocky Glen in 1920; the “Twister” at Croop’s Glen, Hunlock Creek in 1927; and the “Bear Cat” at Sans Souci in 1928.  Copyrighted views of PTC roller coasters are available on various internet web sites.next
