Giant Dipper Redondo Beach

The Giant Dipper Redondo is one of 7 Prior & Church designed "Bobs" twisters that opened along the amusement piers of California between 1923 and 1925. All of these coasters had heights of between 70 and 80 feet with first drops of around 70 feet. The trains all had newer two-seater cars with flanged wheels that were connected by ball and socket couplings that could negotiate the tight turns and sharp direction changes.

The Giant Dipper Redondo lift hill rose to a height of 77 feet above the pier or 90 feet above the ocean level. The ride began with a spectacular left hand spiral drop that made a 180 degree turn with heavy banking. The start of this coaster was very similar to the Whirlwind Dipper at Belle Vue, the Wildcat Pontchartrain Beach, Giant Dipper Belmont and the Detroit Bobs.
