Giant Dipper review by Gazza

by Gazza, 6 years ago
Rated 3.5 A well maintained classic woodie

Review Criteria

Enjoyment Very Good

A decent wooden coaster, quite good for its vintage.

Effectiveness Very Good

Serves well as the icon for the Boardwalk.

Intensity Medium

Suitable for a wide audience. Not too intimidating to serve as a first big coaster for younger riders, but good fun for thrillseekers too. Good pops of air too along the way.

Rider Comfort Good

Tracks well enough, and comfortable seats. One of the better woodies.

Pacing Very Good

Maintains a good clip throughout.

Upkeep/Presentation Very Good

Nice presentation in the queue with factoids about the ride, the station is brightly painted inside.

Queue/Efficiency Very Good

Run well, and very old school with its lack of air gates.
