Leap The Dips Pictures

Amusement Park Pictures > Lakemont Park > Roller Coasters > Leap The Dips Pictures

A look at the world's oldest operating roller coaster.
(click on the photo to see the extra large, high resolution version)

The cars just have a simple bar to hold on to - no seat belts, no lapbars needed.

Nearing the top of the 41 foot high lift hill.

If you look closely, you'll notice this coaster has no upstop wheels. It is the last remaining side friction roller coaster in the United States. The train gets a very tiny pop of air off of the track on each dip - hence the name Leap The Dips.

The biggest drop on Leap The Dips is just 9 feet.

A visually confusing picture that actually shows a lot - like the lack of upstop wheels, some of the lift mechanics and how the 'dips' occur under each other in a figure eight pattern. Lift, turnaround, dip, turnaround, dip, turnaround, etc....

Another look at Leap The Dips.

Returning to the station.

This plaque is in front of the ride.
