Big Dipper was a wooden roller coaster located at the defunct Geauga Lake amusement park in Bainbridge Township, Ohio. Originally opened in 1925 as Sky Rocket, it was renamed Clipper in the late 1940s and eventually Big Dipper in 1969. It was the oldest operating roller coaster in Ohio and seventh-oldest in the United States when it closed in 2007. Designed by John A. Miller, the Big Dipper was also one of the last remaining roller coasters in the world from the designer. American Coaster Enthusiasts awarded the coaster its ACE Coaster Classic and ACE Coaster Landmark designations. Efforts to sell, preserve, and restore the ride were unsuccessful. The ride was demolished on October 17, 2016.

  • Big Dipper in Geauga Lake & Wildwater Kingdom (Aurora, Ohio, USA) war eine Holzachterbahn des Konstrukteurs John A. Miller, die 1925 als Sky Rocket eröffnet wurde. Unter diesem Namen fuhr sie bis zu einem unbekannten Zeitpunkt zwischen 1947 und 1950. Von da an fuhr sie als Clipper bis 1968 um schließlich in Big Dipper umbenannt zu werden. Am 16. September 2007 wurde sie zusammen mit dem gesamten Park geschlossen und für 5000 US-Dollar bei einer Auktion an Apex Western Machinery Movers verkauft, welche die Bahn für einen unbekannten Kunden transportiert.
