Leap the Dips is the world's oldest rollercoaster. Built in 1902, the rollercoaster has delighted generations of riders. It was carefully restored in 1990, allowing a new generation to experience its thrills and charm. When riders step into the immaculately restored wooden cars and smooth leather seats, it is clear that this is unlike any other rollercoaster in the world.
