Big Dipper (Pleasure Beach Blackpool)

The Big Dipper at Pleasure Beach Blackpool ( Blackpool, Lancashire, UK) is a wooden roller coaster of William Strickler, which was opened in July 1923. It was originally designed by John A. Miller. Charlie Paige and Joe Emberton extended the route in 1936 by two more runs and an arch over the south entrance of the park.

In August 1998, Richard Rodriguez set a record on the Big Dipper, as he drove over 1000 hours. In June 2000, he broke the record by spending on the Big Dipper 2000 hours.

The Big Dipper has two trains of the Philadelphia Toboggan Coasters manufacturer, each with three cars. In each carriage six people ( three rows of two people) take place. Passengers must be at least 1.17 m tall to ride must.
