Lakemont Park, located in Altoona, Pennsylvania, houses the world's oldest-surviving roller coaster, the Leap-The-Dips. On June 19, 1996, the roller coaster was added to the list of National Historic Landmarks by the National Park Service. The park opened in 1894 as a trolley park and became an amusement park in the summer of 1899. It is the 8th oldest in the United States. The park was owned by the Boyer Candy Company from May 23, 1986 until July 1, 1988, when it was called Boyertown USA.

Lakemont Park opened in 1894, was donated to Blair County in 1937, privatized in 1986, and is still in operation in 2016.

Lakemont has numerous rides.

This list below does not include Leap-The-Dips since it is already listed above.

Like any amusement park that has been open for many years, rides are removed for various reasons. Below is a list of some of these rides.
