Giant Dipper Roller Coaster

Frommer's Review

A registered national-historic landmark, the Giant Dipper dates to 1925 and is one of two surviving fixtures from the original Belmont Amusement Park (the other is The Plunge swimming pool). After sitting dormant for 15 years, this wooden roller coaster, with more than 2,600 feet of track and 13 hills, underwent extensive restoration and reopened in 1990. If you love roller coasters, do yourself a favor and take a spin on this grande dame. You must be at least 50 inches tall to ride. You can also ride on the Giant Dipper's neighbor, the Liberty Carousel ($2), and other carnie-style rides (unlimited ride wristband, $20).
