HISTORIC COLLECTION OF RIDE VEHICLES MAKE FINAL JOURNEY TO NATIONAL ROLLER COASTER MUSEUM

Cars donated by enthusiasts officially transferred to West Texas facility after dutifully being stored by Philadelphia Toboggan Coasters, Inc.

 
The National Roller Coaster Museum & Archives, the world’s largest collection of historic ride vehicles and artifacts, has accepted the first shipment of vehicles stored at Philadelphia Toboggan Coasters Inc., after decades of being collected and stored in a donated space at their Hatfield, PA facility.
 
“We are eternally grateful to Tom Rebbie and the entire team at PTCI for their dutiful stewardship of these donated vehicles,” said Jeff Novotny, President of the NRCMA. “All of us on the NRCMA Board of Directors look forward to honoring the memory of the enthusiasts who entrusted us with these vehicles as part of their estate wishes.”
 
“For over three decades, it has been our honor to provide donated space within PTCI and work with the American Coaster Enthusiasts in keeping these priceless pieces of our history and the history of the amusement industry safe, awaiting display at their permanent home,” said Tom Rebbie, President & CEO of Philadelphia Toboggan Coasters, Inc. and the first NRCMA Board President. “Thanks to the collaborative efforts of PTCI, ACE, and the museum, these historic vehicles will now be available for generations of fans to learn about and appreciate.”
 
While the museum continues to be built in West Texas, fans are encouraged to attend one of the museum’s upcoming construction tours. For the latest information and public tour dates, visit: www.rollercoastermuseum.org
