OLD vs NEW

Chippewa Lake - Big Dipper - Station

Big Dipper Station - 1930s
Big Dipper Station - 2003

This is a rare Coaster built by the Pearce family. There are only a few Pearce coasters that I know of, and this is one of them. I'm not sure of the current status of the other two.

The Coaster is still standing, but is in very poor condition. There are trees growing through it, laying on it, etc. It is really sad to see. It looks like it would be a fun old wooden coster. It was built in the mid 20s, abandoned in the late 70's, and is still standing today. It was the biggest Coaster the park ever had and is still the first thing you see upon arriving at the park grounds. There are no known plans to revive or remove the Coster from the property as of writing this.
