Yeah, the Big Dipper was a roller coaster in the Battersea Fun Fair (amusement park) in London. Some time in the 1970's it had an accident that killed several people... just two weeks after I rode on it, IIRC. Sadly, the whole amusement park is gone now. I did run a very nice 10-mile race in that park a few years ago, though. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
