Leap The Dips, Lakemont Park Altoona, PA
This is a POV video of the oldest roller coaster in the world called Leap The Dips located at Lakemont Park in Altoona, PA. It's a side friction coaster which means the car just sits on the track and there are side rails that prevent it from flying off the sides. It's also the only known running side friction coaster in the world. It was like riding a piece of history!
As a side note Lakemont Park is a cute little park steeped in history with a few newer small rides and two wooden roller coasters. There used to be an antique carousel and a whip and other rides however as is usual with old amusement parks a new owner came in during the 80's and tried to make it a big park and thought cutting down all the trees and getting rid of the old rides made sense. Fortunately Leap The Dips didn't get torn down and eventually was restored to working condition. The park is probably more of a shell of what it was but walking around kind of gives you the sense of what it may have been back in the 20's when picnic groves just started to put in a few rides to bring people in. It's a very small park with just a few rides but it's history definitely gives it character!

Holiday Lights On The Lake Altoona Pa. 11/23/2019
This is Holiday Lights on the Lake at Lakemont Park in Altoona Pa. Recorded by me using GoPro 3 11/23/2019. Sorry about the chatter as I had my GoPro inside of the car because it was raining outside and I didn't have the waterproof case for it. Also sorry for the poor video quality at times as this was recorded right through my front windshield while it was raining .....
Merry Christmas to all...Happy New Year!!!
Steep Streets Of Altoona, Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania has a lot of very steep roads, a few weeks ago I took a few pictures to show a friend how steep Altoona's streets really are. It's not as impressive as Baldwin Street in New Zealand, but we do have parts of individual blocks which are really steep, and some parts of streets that were too steep to build a road (or you could technically build a road but it was deemed unsafe to do so). I also filmed some footage today of driving up a road that ranged from fairly steep for the most part to very steep for a half block. The roads I featured all are steeper than a 15 degree angle, and I'd wager that the half block of 25th street as well as 18th and 19th avenues near downtown could possibly be as much as an 18 degree slope, which approaches world record territory. The streets in Altoona rival those of San Francisco despite being less famous. Pittsburgh also has some steep roads, such as Canton Avenue.
Locations of various roads used in the video
25th Street - The edge of Dutch Hill, from 4th Avenue to Michelle Drive, steepest part between 1st avenue and Crawford avenue
18th and 19th Avenue - Both between 11th and 12th Street, not too far from downtown
12th Street - Downtown, from 15th Avenue to 14th Avenue, overlooking everything down to 10th Avenue.
2nd Street - Logantown, between Cherry Avenue and Spruce Avenue, overlooking the city and the mountains

Altoona Area High School
KCBA is leading the planning and design for this major urban redevelopment project in the City of Altoona. The existing Altoona Area High School is a 395,000 sq. ft. facility that serves a student population of roughly 1,650 in grades 10-12. The complex consists of two discrete buildings that take up two city blocks and are linked via a series of suspended enclosed pedestrian bridges – the “A” Building which was constructed in 1972 and houses the gym, natatorium, and classrooms and the “B” Building which was built in 1927 and contains classrooms, an auditorium, and the district offices.
Beyond typical maintenance and operational challenges of a school complex of this vintage, the existing high school presents many impediments to the school district’s delivery of their 21st century educational program including undersized classrooms, limited technological infrastructure, and inadequate spaces to support collaborative and project-based learning. In addition, the district has overcapacity issues at all grade levels and was interested in exploring the potential introduction of 9th grade into the high school to open up additional space for the K-8 grades.
In order to upgrade the complex to meet the district’s long-term educational and operational plans, KCBA investigated a number of potential renovation, reconstruction, and new construction scenarios. All potential approaches were greatly influenced by existing physical limitations such as the high school’s tight urban context, challenging topography including a heavy slope, and very limited space to accommodate a building expansion as well as the need to maintain ongoing school operations at the complex during construction.
The scheme that was eventually developed and selected for implementation entails the closure of the “B” building and conversion of that property to athletic fields; construction of a major new structure to house all of the “B” building functions as well as additional classrooms and learning commons; renovation of the existing “A” building including all new building systems, technology, educational equipment, and interior finishes; an addition to the “A” building that will include a new fitness/dance center and cooking labs; a new pedestrian bridge over 6th Avenue to connect the two high school buildings; and a new pedestrian bridge over 7th Avenue to link the high school with the existing junior high building.
The new 440,000 sq. ft. high school complex will accommodate 2,400 students including 9th graders. A selection of innovative program spaces in the new “B” building include a performance theater; art classrooms; a business center; STEM maker spaces; two commons, one for STEM and the other for arts and business; an outdoor classroom; a work yard; and a rooftop greenhouse.
In addition to establishing a state-of-the-art educational environment to serve future generations of Altoona Area students, the renewed high school will serve as an important center for community life and catalyst for the continued revitalization of the City of Altoona.

This has been one of my most sought after coasters. There was always one at the state fair when I was a kid, but I never rode it (I think mainly because of the people I was with), and then it was gone. But now, I can mark it off my list.
