Jack wants to ride the rollercoaster
Even though Jack had just won his tickets to a poker game, he had huge plans for his return to America. He talks about this when they are on board the ship and about his plans for when they get there. He says that, well, who wouldn’t want to ride the roller coaster at the Santa Monica Pier?
However, in 1912, this attraction didn’t even exist. In 1916, the site for an amusement pier was purchased by Charles I.D. Looff, a carousel builder, and the Blue Streak Racer roller coaster were constructed.
