Coaster recognized for staying put

Posted | Contributed by Jason Hammond

It's called the Little Dipper, it's 54 years old, and it's unique as long as no one moves it. It would be hard to cart off in any case, because it's a full-size roller coaster - albeit a small one. It travels a circuitous route, 194 feet each trip, about a thousand times daily. Besides, if it was moved, the Little Dipper would lose claim to the title that the American Coaster Enthusiasts are bestowing on it today: oldest operating steel roller coaster still standing in its original location. That location is the Memphis Kiddie Park in Brooklyn, bordering Cleveland.
