When was the first looping roller coaster made and what was wrong with it?

Pleeeeeeeeaseee help me with this. I've been searching the internet for two weeks and I can't find this out. I'm desperate.

When was the first looping roller coaster made and what was wrong with it?
1846 in France.





"The first looping coaster was located in Frascati Gardens in Paris, France. The hill was 43 feet high, had a 13 foot-wide loop and was tested with everything under the sun before humans were allowed on. The layout was simple: the rider rode down the gentle slope on a small cart and through a small metal circle."
Reply:I don't know the name or the place where it was, all I know is that it was a single loop after a large drop and the problem was that back then people had no idea of G forces and did not take that into account when building roller coasters. The coaster they built, pulled 12 G's when going through the loop, more than enough to make every rider pass out.
Reply:i know that "Cedar Point.com" in Sandusky,Ohio(USA)


has something as in the "oldest "not sure what it is Roller coaster or another ride .also check out" Geauga lake" in Aurora Ohio,(USA)





Coney Island 1895
Reply:Well, wooden they were flat out unsafe. Those were back in the early 1900's. For Modern days, Revolution was built in Six flags Magic Mountain and then Corkscrew at Knott's Berry Farm. Corkscrew in 1975 according to Rcdb, and Revolution in 1976. Revolution had the first Vertical Loop, and Corkscrew had the first... Corkscrew element. Go figure...


Both are still around, but Corkscrew is now in Silverwood Idaho instead of Cali because it was simply bought.
Reply:I know the first double looping roller coaster was at Six Flags over Texas and it is called the Shock Wave and it is still there and operating and still has the same name
