Yes, they had a scary small two seat roller coaster call "The Wild Mouse". It always felt like it was going to tip over and fall off the track when it went around the tight curves too fast. But that is part of the fun. The Thunderbolt was full size and made of wood,
I do remember the mid-size roller coaster called the scenic, and I believe the big one was called the thunderbolt

These days, I prefer the water slides over the roller coasters, lol. Find a spa near you that put in their own water park. The rides are usually remarkable but there are only a few in operation. I'm not sure if any exist today in the burbs.

My dad was in prison with a guy who tried to set willow grove park on fire after it was closed down. They called the guy "Sparky" in jail. He had several arson convictions. It wasn't for money or insurance, the guy was a straight up pyromaniac. When Sparky got released he went and took a nap on some railroad tracks and was cut in two.

I also went to west point park in 80s a couple times a month when I was middle school aged...like 5th/6th grade. I had a ton of band/movie mirror prizes and the twisted glass pepsi bottles. Kind of wish I still had some of those now. Played a bit of skee ball there as well.
