Big Dipper review by Smasher_kid13

This ride is interesting. The prototype Intamin hot racer is the only real thrill coaster at my home park with the wooden Wild Mouse down. The launches have surprisingly good intensity, my main gripe with this ride though is its signature element coming out of the second launch which is a non inverted loop straight into a sidewinder. I actually quite like the non inverted loop as you get a pop of airtime over the top but the sidewinder just pushes you straight into the lap bar, which is honestly quite painful. Then you come out of the sidewinder into imo the best element on the ride which is a brilliantly intense ejector hill which catches you off guard. Then you have some whippy turns and a third inversion which catches you off guard before you hit the brake run. The problem is that this thing can only run one, seven seater train and the op’s aren’t very efficient so you can wait around 45 minutes for a one minute ride at a small park. This thing is ROUGH too, and marathoning honestly hurts, I don’t see this surviving five more years without a retrack.
