Philadelphia Toboggan Coasters (PTC) is one of the oldest existing roller coaster manufacturing companies in the world. Based in Hatfield, Pennsylvania, it was established in 1904 by Henry B. Auchy and Chester Albright under the name Philadelphia Toboggan Company. The company manufactured carousels, wooden roller coasters, and roller coaster trains ("toboggans") from 1904 to 1979. The only product it still manufactures is roller coaster trains.

History

Philadelphia Toboggan Company was incorporated on January 20, 1904 as a roller coaster design and construction firm.^[1] Notable designers included Joe McKee, John A. Miller, Herbert Schmeck, Frank Hoover, and John C. Allen. Herbert Shmeck was with the company for 35 years, serving as its president until 1954. When Shmeck resigned as president, Allen became the president in his place. Allen had been with the company since 1931.^[2]

The company also manufactured carousels from 1904 to 1934. It expanded with the acquisition of the inventory of the Dentzel Carousel Company in 1927.^[3] Lead carvers included Daniel Carl Muller, Leo Zoller, John Zalar, and Frank Caretta.^[4]

Beginning before World War II, the company produced Laffing Sal animatronics.^[5] The company also manufactured Skee-Ball games from 1946 to 1977.^[6]

When Allen retired as president in 1976, the company stopped designing roller coasters, but continued to work on coaster construction projects until 1979, when it exited the coaster construction industry permanently.^[7]

On November 27, 1991, Tom Rebbie and Bill Dauphinee purchased Philadelphia Toboggan Company from Sam High and incorporated a new company, Philadelphia Toboggan Coaster, shortly thereafter.^[8] Rebbie was appointed president. In 2007, he bought out Dauphinee to become the sole owner, and changed the company's name to Philadelphia Toboggan Coasters, Inc. (PTCI). The company continues to manufacture roller coaster trains, queue gates, and fin brakes.^[9]
