The 'Big One Rollercoaster' opened 28 May 1994 at a cost of £12 million. The highest point (right of shot) rises 65m (213 feet) above the ground, having a drop of 62 m (205 feet) and an incline of 65 degrees. Trains, each capable of carrying 30 people, attain speeds of 74 mph (119 km/h) in a ride lasting three minutes. When opened, the 'Big One' was the tallest and steepest rollercoaster in the world, and one of the fastest. With a length of 1675m (5, 497 ft) the ride is also one of the longest. Three trains can travel at any one time. A view of the central section of the rollercoaster along the South Shore Ocean Boulevard. In the background rises the 'Big Dipper', a wooden rollercoaster dating to the 1920s. In the 1950s and 1960s the 'Big Dipper' was one of the Pleasure Beach's major attractions.
