The Big Dipper is a wooden roller coaster located at Camden Park in Huntington, West Virginia, United States.
Manufactured by National Amusement Devices, the ride opened in 1958 and is both the largest and oldest roller coaster in West Virginia.
[1] As of July 2024, it is one of only three roller coasters manufactured by National Amusement Devices to still be operating, with the other two being Little Dipper at the same park, and Wildcat at Frontier City.
[3] Once the train leaves the station, riders make a right turn into the 50 foot (15 m) chain lift hill.
After ascending the lift hill, riders immediately dip down before rising back up into a left turn, which leads into the main drop.
