Big Dipper (Geauga Lake)
Big Dipper is a wooden roller coaster at Geauga Lake amusement park in Bainbridge Township, Ohio. Built in 1925, the Big Dipper is an ACE Coaster Classic and an ACE Coaster Landmark. However, the award was never officially presented to the park. Until September 2007, it was the oldest operating wooden coaster in Ohio, and the 7th oldest operating roller coaster in the USA (12th oldest in the world). Big Dipper underwent major renovations in 1980. It has been named "Big Dipper" since 1969, before which it was named Clipper and Sky Rocket.

Famous quotes containing the word big:
“... the big courageous acts of life are those one never hears of and only suspects from having been through like experience. It takes real courage to do battle in the unspectacular task. We always listen for the applause of our co-workers. He is courageous who plods on, unlettered and unknown.... In the last analysis it is this courage, developing between man and his limitations, that brings success.”
—Alice Foote MacDougall (1867–1945)
