Philly's Drive-In Theater Park/The Sonic Loop

The Sonic Loop was a steel-launched shuttle roller coaster that formerly operated at Philly's Drive-In Theater Park in Bedminster, Pennsylvania, USA.

History
When this coaster first opened in 1978, it was painted white track and supports and the coaster trains was painted white with a black stripe and black over-the-shoulder restraints.

From the mid-80s to the early-90s, the ride began to rust. The ride hasn’t repainted since the ride’s opening.

In the 1992 season, the ride was sponsored by Sega and finally repainted with blue track and pale yellow supports; the coaster train was painted blue with a white stripe, and the over-the-shoulder restraints were painted white to promote Sonic the Hedgehog video games.

In late 1994, The ride closed along with the amusement park, but the theater continued to operate until 1995.

The ride was moved to Marquette Woods Park, but was never set up and subsequently used for spare parts for Carwardine's other remaining pre-1992 Arrow loopers.
