I always try to bring people who come from out of town here. The rickety wooden coaster does a great job of keeping thrill levels high. Won't find anything this exciting down the street at SeaWorld. Limited operations when it's not summer season. Parking is sometimes hard to find during the summer months

Belmont Park’s Giant Dipper Roller Coaster is a wild fun ride. It was restored and declared a National Historic Landmark in 1978. Its fast, twisted, and full of surprises. Don’t miss out on this adrenaline rush!

Fun ride with a nice view from the top. If you’re a bigger guy like me the bar will be pretty tight! Your neighbor has to share the same bar too so it might feel a little loose for them

Great ride for all ages in a very scenic location. Cost is reasonable, and the rest of the Balboa Park area is a nice place to hang out. Parking is a little tight, but usually able to find a spot, even when it is crowded.

If you like roller coasters and fun this is awesome! The workers are also very friendly and make the experience even better.

Looked like fun but I am too tall to fit in the cart and have the bar lock. They were very kind and refunded my money though. The kids that were there kept getting back in line for another ride.

If you come to San Diego you MUST go to Belmont park for the beach and boardwalk experience. And if you like roller coasters the Giant Dipper is fun for all ages. Not too crazy. Belmont Park in general is a fun place for families to go for a day out.

The Giant Dipper, built in 1925, is an old school wooden coaster. Safety was not a big concern then like it is today. I'm saying that it isn't safe. It is. I'm saying it is a fast, rough, slightly scary ride. It doesn't go upside down or anything. But you will experience high G's, weightlessness and sharp turns. There are two signs warning you to keep your arms inside. You can keep your hands in the air untill the second sign, then you are best to lower them, it gets really tight. If you are a coaster fan, this is one you don't want to miss!

Overall a fun and quick adrenaline rush delivering coaster. Knocking off one star because it’s a bit rickety but what do you expect from a wooden coaster. Watch your neck, keep it loose not stiff (same advice as a car accident). Nevertheless a good time.

Great little old school wooden roller coaster. Was a great topper to a fun evening with my group.
