Big Dipper is a steel roller coaster at Michigan's Adventure near Muskegon, Michigan. It was manufactured by Chance Rides. It is a family coaster aimed at smaller children. The height limit is 36 inches with a parent.

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]
