That coaster was the Whirlwind Dipper (1924-1930), a Wooden Twister on Santa Monica Pier, made by Prior & Church (Cost $75,000), Height - 80 feet, Length - 3300 feet. It replaced the Blue Streak Racer that was there before.
Surprisingly entertaining ! I recognized the hallway in the apartments from other silent films . Gertrude Astor went on to play in films , most notably ( among others ) Harry Langdon's the STRONG MAN , 1926 .
I think I might have to see a shrink after watching this vintage video. Maybe he can prescribe me something to put me back to 'normal', whatever that is.

What a magnificent find! Fine scenes of Culver City and Santa Monica!

What an unexpected delight. The pool ball pantomime - and the rollercoaster! This deserves to be better known. Thanks for sharing it.
What a wonder that we get to see this rarity. Thank you!
this was amazing
