## Resource

The Big Dipper at Blackpool Pleasure Beach was evacuated after a terrifying incident where riders heard a crunching sound, felt the cart roll backward, and feared derailment — though no injuries were reported. The historic coaster, rebuilt in 1934 and still running at 35 mph, has been closed since Thursday’s stoppage at 2 PM. One rider, Reanna, described the experience as “smashing backward” and “tilted,” too shaken to eat even the free food offered. An investigation is underway as staff safely evacuated all guests and conducted first aid checks. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
