You’ve Rode The Big Dipper

Belmont Park’s “Big” Dipper is not exactly the most intimidating coaster in the world, but we love it for all of its rickety, wooden flaws, dips and subtle turns more than you will ever know.

It was a staple of our childhood to visit the Mission Bay roller coaster after stuffing our faces with popcorn, cotton candy and, of course, McDonald’s. Now that we have matured a bit in age, it’s fun to enjoy a drink before (and after) the epic ride seeing as there are awesome dive bars located just to the side of the always wonderful Belmont Park. Give it a shot?
