Ride Starliner Now!
The classic wooden coaster was the first of its kind in Florida when it was built in 1963 at the Miracle Strip Amusement Park in Panama City Beach. Cypress Gardens acquired the ride when the park closed late in 2004. It is one of 11 remaining John Allen coasters in operation. Allen has been long-considered the grandfather of coaster design and created the now-classic out and back coaster. This particular design is renowned for its negative g-forces and lift - that feeling of coming out of your seat while riding along its 2,640 feet of hills, bunny hops and turns.
