On this day in history, in 1884, the very first roller coaster opened at Coney Island New York. It traveled 6 whole miles an hour and cost a nickel to ride. It wasn't called a roller coaster originally, but rather a 'switchback railway'. Coney Island is also the reported home of the hot dog, 17 years earlier.
