Big Apple

This article needs to be wikified.

One of the [Pinfari] [roller coaster] design company's [cookie-cutter] designs, the Big Apple is a steel [kiddie] coaster. Some [theme park]s that receive this type of coaster keep the name Big Apple for it, while others give it their own name - [Chenille], at [Nigloland] in France, and [Wacky Worm] at [Lake Winnepesaukah] in the United States, are also Pinfari Big Apple rides. Although each ride operates slightly differently, like any kiddie coaster they are free of any [inversion]s and provide a very simple trip along a 435-foot track.

The [United Kingdom] claims most of the rides named Big Apple, including the closed one which is at [Dreamland] in Margate. Opened before 1986, it closed sometime before 2000. Another, opened in 1987, is at [Botton's Pleasure Beach] in Skegness. [Clacton Pier], in Clacton-on-sea, also has one, and there is another at [Great Yarmouth Pleasure Beach] in Great Yarmouth. In Southport, the [Pleasureland] park opened a Big Apple in 1982. This one uses just one train carrying 36 riders, and with a ride duration of 55 seconds it can process 700 riders per hour. There is also a Big Apple at [M&Ds Scotland's Theme Park] in Motherwell. Finally, at the [West Midlands Safari Park] in Bewdley, England, there is a Pinfari kiddie ride called the African Big Apple - a name no doubt chosen to match that park's [theming]. <P> Outside Great Britain, three of the Pinfari coasters bear the name Big Apple. One is at [Astroland] in New York City, and this one operates using two trains. Another is at [Duinen Zathe] in the Dutch town of Appelscha. There is a Big Apple at [EsselWorld], a park in Gorai Village in India. It uses one train to carry 20 riders at a time, but only gives a thirty-second ride. <P> Source: http://www.rcdb.com/result.htm?searchtype=coasterquick&name=big+apple
