Big Dipper is a wooden out and back roller coaster at Pleasure Beach Resort, Blackpool, England.

[1] It was extended in 1936 by American engineer Charles Paige (whose work at the Pleasure Beach is all that survives of the 13 wooden coasters he is known to have built) with arches over the south entrance of the park and additional drops.

Big Dipper is located at South Shore[6] and west of the southern half of Blackpool Pleasure Beach.

[3] Big Dipper was designed by John Miller at Krug Park, Nebraska in 1918 and built by William H. Strickler and Philadelphia Toboggan Coasters, Inc.[2][3][7] It cost £25,000 to construct.

[3][2] Big Dipper was the first of its generation to use new undertrack and side friction wheels to allow a steeper and faster design.
