The illuminated “FLYER” roller coaster sign on display at the 2023 CNE, next to the Princess Margaret Fountain at Exhibition Place. When the mighty roller coaster debuted at the 1953 CNE, it was the world’s fastest (up to 104 km/h) and highest (19 m). The Flyer thrilled over 9 million riders in its 39 years and was dismantled in 1992.
