@thesun: A much-loved family ride has been forced to close after it appears it derailed and the track split. The Big Dipper at Blackpool Pleasure Beach is one of the oldest operating rollercoasters in the world. Read the full story above. #Blackpool #BlackpoolPleasureBeach #Rollercoaster #Ride #News
Someone was decapitated on this ride a few decades ago btw 👀

By the way guys this operating rollercoaster is 103 years old. Newer rollercoasters such as hyperia, falcons flight, and other steel coaster will never derail due to 3 sets of wheels on the side top and bottom of the trains, and yes it also goes for modern wooden coasters such as wickerman. (I’m obly using hyperia falcons flight and wickerman as examples is because in my opinion their the most known)
