Kiddie Coaster

Lake Compounce opened this coaster by Molina & Son in 1997.  The coaster is nearly identical to the Lil' Phantom at their sister park, Kennywood.

Manuel "Molina" Diaz was an employee of Ben Schiff & Associates from 1950 to 1960.  When Schiff got out of the business, Diaz began making replacement parts.  He also introduced his own model called the "Moli-Coaster."  As of 2003, only three Molina coasters are presently operating in the United States.
