Polar Coaster is a family roller coaster at Story Land in Glen, New Hampshire. The park calls it a classic starter coaster, with an arctic theme built around two characters, Waldo and Wilburr.
History
The ride opened in 1987, replacing the park's earlier Iceberg Coaster, which had run from 1975 to 1986. RCDB lists Hopkins as the manufacturer, with construction by D.H. Morgan Manufacturing. The steel track follows the terrain and has no inversions. It runs two trains of three cars, each car seating four riders in two rows.
Riders must be at least 36 inches tall, and those under 48 inches must ride with a supervising companion at least 14 years old.
