| Facts: | The 1991 Roller Coaster Directory by Richard Munch lists this roller coaster as the Thunderbolt operating from 1927 to 1944 by Miller / Pearce. The seems to be an error here as the roller coaster can been seen in a series of 1947 photographs. Also in the photographs is a picture of the station where the name "Big Dipper" is in neon. |
