Pipeline Express was a steel roller coaster that was located at Boardwalk Fun Park in Grand Prairie, Texas.

Contents

When built in 1992, it was the newest Auto Sled from Bailey Manufacturing of Cameron, Ontario. The five sleds could hold one rider each.

In September 1992, an accident on the park's roller coaster, the Pipeline Express, threw a 12-year-old girl some 35 feet (11 m) into an unused pool beneath the ride causing her to slip into a coma and suffer brain trauma. The coaster was closed following the accident. The victims parents sued the park for negligence and deceptive trade practices.

The coaster never re-opened and the Pipeline Express stood silent until 1997, when it was demolished along with the rest of the park.
