Big Dipper, Wooden roller coaster in Camden Park, Huntington, United States.
The Big Dipper roller coaster extends 50 feet high and includes a figure-eight track layout with two substantial drops and a covered tunnel section.
National Amusement Devices constructed this wooden roller coaster in 1958, replacing the previous side friction coaster that operated at Camden Park until 1957.
American Coaster Enthusiasts designated the Big Dipper as a Coaster Landmark in 2019, recognizing its role in United States amusement park heritage.
The ride operates with three cars per train, accommodating 18 passengers, and completes its circuit in one minute and forty seconds without inversions.
This roller coaster represents one of only three remaining National Amusement Devices constructions still functioning in the United States.
