History
In the late 1940s Carl Miler founded Miler Manufacturing. The company built a variety steel roller coasters aimed at children and families such as Wild Mouse roller coasters.[1][2] Miler Manufacturing roller coasters were popular in the 1950s.[3] Production of new roller coasters by Miler Manufacturing stopped in the mid 1970s.[2]
Carl Miler's son, Fred Miler, reopened Miler Manufacturing in 1989.[3] The company changed its name to Miler Coaster, Inc. in 1992 when its first new roller coaster was built.[4][5] The company's name was later changed to E&F Miler Industries.[6] As of 2013, Fred Miler operates the company with his son, Eric Miler.[4][6]
Installations
E&F Miler Industries have manufactured a total of 54 roller coasters which have operated at 74 different locations.[6] This is in addition to the 23 roller coasters built under the Miler Manufacturing name.[1] Aside from installing new roller coasters, E&F Miler Industries has performed work on restoring some of Miler Manufacturing's original rides.[3] The majority of the company's contracts come from the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions' (IAAPA) annual trade show.[3][7]
