## Resource

Blackpool’s legendary Big Dipper rollercoaster had a terrifying scare Thursday when riders heard crunching noises, felt the cart roll backward, and reported it tilting dangerously—prompting an evacuation and a full shutdown. Though no injuries occurred, park officials launched an investigation into what caused the sudden stop, with guests describing a spine-chilling experience that left one shaken enough to skip a free Burger King meal. This historic ride, rebuilt in 1934 and still running at 35 mph, is now under the microscope—because even classics need maintenance.
