 Big Dipper
Geauga Lake & Wildwater Kingdom
Geauga Lake's Big Dipper is a classic wooden roller coaster that speeds along the 2,680-foot long track at speeds of up to 32 mph. Featuring an "out and back" layout, Big Dipper allows riders to experience gravity-defying "air time" as they dip and roll over hills starting with a 65-foot first drop. Remember, this was considered a mammoth in 1925.
