The roller coaster was part of a large upgrade to the entrance of the park. During this same year, new entrance turnstiles were installed, a new gate was constructed, Mad Mouse was built, and new buildings were constructed.[1]
In 2020, Big Dipper will be relocated to the Camp Snoopy section of the park, and will be renamed to Woodstock Express.
