Blackpool Pleasure Beach’s most popular rollercoaster “The Big Dipper” was the scene of a major incident involving Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service this week.
More than 30 people were injured in an accident in which two cars on the Big Dipper rollercoaster collided with each other.

Victims involved in the crash were left trapped on the Big Dipper 50 feet above ground.

Emergency services called in a specialist rope team to help people off the roller coaster.

The injured victims have suffered injuries such as whiplash, broken bones and back injuries. Several people were treated at nearby Blackpool Victoria Hospital.

The Health and Safety Executive are launching an investigation. It has been reported that they will be focusing on the roller coaster braking system which is supposed to keep the cars apart at all times.
