swampfoxer | EDGEWATER PARK roller coaster Detroit & TURBO amusement ride @swampfoxer | Uploaded April 2008 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
The Big Beast roller coaster opened in 1927 at Detroit's Edgewater Park on 7 Mile Rd & Telegraph Rd. The coaster had several names during it's 54 years including, Thriller, Soul Train & Big Beast. The park sadly closed in 1981.

I also included a bonus clip of the TURBO ride that was at Edgewater Park. Thrillseekers privileged enough to ride one of these monsters should feel lucky as there are none left operating in the USA and possibly the world. Enjoy!
