Philadelphia Toboggan Company
Henry Auchey and Chester Albright founded PTC in 1904, selling carousels and "toboggan" rides (roller coasters). The company built approximately 75 carousels and about 150 roller coasters. A freelancing John A. Miller built the famous "Giant Coaster" at Paragon Park, Nantasket Beach, Mass. for PTC in 1917. This 98-foot-high, 4000-foot-long ride was moved to Adventure World in Mitchellville, Maryland in 1986.
Philadelphia Toboggan Coasters, Inc. is proud to continue in the tradition as innovative designers, builders and manufacturers for the amusement industry. PTC are also committed to preserving their documentary heritage and have established an archive for this purpose.
