          The inventor sometimes referred to as the “Thomas Edison of the roller coaster” was John A. Miller, who earned more than 100 patents related to coaster technology and ride safety.

          Born in August of 1872 in Homewood, Illinois by the name of John Mueller, Miller, who used this name as his professional moniker, embarked on a career that spanned nearly 50 years in 1893.

          When he was just 19 years old, he began working with a roller coaster designer and engineer by the name of LaMarcus Thompson. Thompson is generally credited with having created the United States’ first roller coaster in Coney Island, New York in 1884 (he patented his “Roller Coasting Structure” in 1885).

          Before long, Miller was Thompson’s chief engineer. 

          In 1911, Miller was a consultant for the Philadelphia Toboggan Company, for whom he designed at least a dozen roller coasters. He later worked with Josiah and Fred Pearce on coasters, as well as with Frederick Ingersoll and the Dayton Fun House
