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

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 occurred on the ride in which a 12 year old girl was thrown some 35 feet into a dry pool below the ride causing brain damage and putting her into a coma. As a result of the accident, the park promptly closed for the remainder of the 1992 season.

After several lawsuits against the park, the park never re-opened and the Pipeline Express stood silent until 1998, when it was demolished along with the rest of the park.
