Woodstock Express is a steel roller coaster at Michigan's Adventure near Muskegon, Michigan. It was manufactured by Chance Rides and is owned and operated by Six Flags. It is a family coaster aimed at smaller children. The minimum height is 36 inches, with a parent.
The roller coaster was originally named Big Dipper and was a 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, the Big Dipper was to be relocated to the Camp Snoopy section of the park, and was to be renamed the Woodstock Express. It reopened in 2021.
