Re: Big dipper crashes................
 

Oh Crikey that's awful, so glad to hear there are no serious injuries...you always believe that although you may get a fright when on a roller coaster you never believe that you will actually get hurt :(

Re: Big dipper crashes................
 

I was coaster hopping with my lad the other day strangely enough and same thing went through my mind. all the what ifs .. But then again I kept telling myself that BPB has the best safety record ever

I do know that they have been hammering the rides this week with the amount of people here and today they were queuing all the way round to the front of the place to get in .

those dippers are one of the few rides i still go on occasionally, always loved em, glad no fatalities, won't stop me goin on em.

Re: Big dipper crashes................
 

No wont stop me either cashy, Like I say I still believe BPB Has an excellent safety record.

I was on that and also the grand national. I could feel the car leave the track on that . just like I did when I was a kid.

Re: Big dipper crashes................
 

No it won't stop me either :rolleyes: crikey if that was going to stop anyone going on them, then they seriously need to re-think ever getting in a car again first!!!!

When i saw the construction of the Big One i said that II would never ever go on that. Two years ago my 10 year old Grandson had me go on it, then the Grand National and then the Big Dipper - fantastic day, but never again. I felt more unsafe on the GN - hate zero gravity experience

Re: Big dipper crashes................
 

lol u have to hold on tight on the grand national... that ride is a killer

Re: Big dipper crashes................
 

Well heres the update from local paper but on the radio this morning they were saying that they had had problems earlier with the ride and only an hr before, the ride had been closed down then reopened, Someone could be in deep doo doo by the sounds of it.
