At the rear of the park, paralleling the river, Riverview began
construction of the Marine Causeway, also known as the River Walk.
During 1907, very little was on the Causeway, but during the 1908
season, Riverview added the sensational attraction, Battle of the
Monitor & Merrimac, which was a re-creation of the famous Civil War
naval battle. Also added in 1908 was a magnificent 5-row carousel, one
of the largest ever built!

The Pikes Peak Scenic Railway was also added in 1907. See picture below.
In 1908, Riverview added two more roller coasters, the Aerial
Coaster, which wrapped around the Monitor and Merrimac building, and
the Royal Gorge Scenic Railway. The Aerial Coaster, also known as the
Pottsdam Railway, can be seen above on either side of the Monitor and
Merrimac.
The Royal Gorge Scenic Railway is below at right.
