Little Dipper is a junior steel roller coaster located at Memphis Kiddie Park in Brooklyn, Ohio. [1]
The coaster was built by the Allan Herschell Company and began operating in April 1952, making it the oldest operating steel roller coaster in North America. [2] [3] In the 1970s, the original train was replaced with a newer one. For the 2006 season, the train was repainted. The ride was not in operation during the 2020 season, as the park was closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The coaster has one three-car train. Riders are seated two across with two rows per car, giving the coaster a capacity of 12 riders per cycle.
