The Red Devil was a roller coaster at Olentangy Park that operated from 1922[1] to the park's closing in 1937. It ran along the park's northeast end and North High Street, replacing the Scenic Coaster.[2][3] It was said to be the "fastest and longest riding device in the country." It had long and steep dips that gave riders the sensation of going over hills.[4]
