The ride was repainted blue a few years after opening.
At the time of opening the ride attracted numerous complaints from local residents. One such complaint was that "the people attracted by the 'hoony ride' are detrimental to the neighbourhood", whilst another said it was “an ugly monstrosity”.
These two are perhaps the most 'thrilling' of the kids rides.
Big Dipper, one of the worlds most unique roller coasters.
Big Dipper launches again!
Very few coasters have the rider sitting over the exact centreline of the track. But here on Big Dipper you are, so it means the tight twists can be negotiated without excessive lateral g forces.
Overall, its a fun experience, not a wild level of intensity, making it suitable for Luna Parks core audience, but still exciting enough for thrill riders.
Perhaps the main bugbear of the ride is the rattle in the trains. Their lightweight nature means they can shake and rattle a bit. Reportedly the park and manufacturer are still fine tuning things, given the prototype nature of the ride. For the smoothest experience, sit in the front row.
