Description
This is the Giant Dipper roller coaster at Belmont Park in Mission Beach, CA. This coaster was built in 1925 and is still running today. I hope you enjoy this shot as much as me.Related content

Brings back memories of my childhood in San Diego.

I really love this photo and I'm doing a PowerPoint about roller coasters for a physics class and I was wondering if I could use your photo as the background of my slides if I make sure to give you credit. I would love if you could reply to this as soon as you possibly can. Thanks! :]

It's in Mission Beach in San Diego, but it will kill your back if you ride it.

I like the lonely bench in the foreground too! At first, all I saw was the rollercoaster, but now that I've seen the bench the photo is all about that for me. xD

Thank you, I could not agree more. I just don't think it would look right with just the grass field.

lol @ random rubbish bin in the way.
Very good contrast between the glow from the tracks and the dark of the night.
I like :0

Yeah I can see your point.
I don't know why, but I can totally just see an old man sitting there watching the rollercoaster o.O

Nice one, i like how the rollercoaster isn't too bright. Lot of shots like these mess that up. The "shading" of the sky is awesome too. Good stuff

Thank you very much. I wish there were a few more stars in the sky, but you never get to see stars near a city.

heheh, you're welcome. The bench does stand out quite a bit, but I think it suits the photo

Ok, I really really like this picture, especially how it almost looks like a neon light instead of a real roller coaster b/c of how the coaster was zipping I suppose. I think there may be just a tad too much sky and i'm not a fan of the border, but as far as a kick ass picture goes, this is it!

Once more, thank you. I was hoping to have more stars in the sky, but it was not as clear of a night as I had hoped. If you are ever in Mission Beach and see this coaster I would recomend only taking photos, it kills your back.
