    Ooh..new series! Exciting!
    This incident is a sad reflection on the cavalier attitude to health and safety in the past. A good counter to the "good old days" and "health and safety gone mad" brigade that are so vocal in any nostalgic video on UA-cam.
    Great video ❤

    Most dangerous thing about amusement rides: human irresponsibility. Operators/engineers who let a ride get to that state of disrepair should certainly be convicted of criminal negligence. RIP to those who lost their lives here

    Missed opportunity for: "on may 30th 1972 Big Dipper was operating normally"

    It was originally in Birmingham? Is there anyone who can shed some light on its pre-Battersea history? Cant find any info online.

      According to RCDB, the Big Dipper was originally designed and constructed at Sutton Great Park in Birmingham in 1946. It operated there for 4 years before relocating to Battersea for its opening. Information seems to be scarce about Sutton Great Park in general, but I found several sources confirming the existence of a scenic railway-style coaster there in the late 1940s. In the end I took RCDB's claims at face value because the dates matched up between those sources, although it's very hard to find a lot of information about that Birmingham park, so it's certainly possible it was a different coaster. Probably worth an investigation of its own!
