BIG DIPPER (BLACKPOOL)

'Big Dipper' is a wooden roller coaster at Pleasure Beach Blackpool in Blackpool, England. The ride was first built in 1923 by John Miller. In 1936, Charlie Paige and Joe Emberton extended the ride, adding arches over the south entrance of the park and additional drops.
The ride operates with two trains, each containing three four-bench cars. The track follows an out-and-back layout.
In August 1998, Richard Rodriguez set a world record by riding the Big Dipper for 1000 hours. There is a plaque commemorating this event in the ride's station
