- An onride video of the Zippin Pippin roller coaster at Libertyland. Sadly the ride and park closed for good at the end of the 2005 season. Zippin Pippin was said to be the favorite ride of Elvis Presley.

my dad paid off the guy when i was 1 inch too short to get on and we ended up riding in over 15 times that day. Loved growing up in Memphis I sure do miss that place.
I miss this park. It was one of Memphis's gems that was sadly destroyed to make room for public housing which never materialized.
And the Coliseum in the background. I attended hundreds of Memphis RiverKings hockey games there in the past.
Nice work, C-Fan. Really enjoyed the ride myself when I got to the park during Preservation Con a few years back.
Just not enough John Miller coasters left in the world...
P.S. Canobies DOES indeed rock!
This is the oldest comment ive ever seen.
This ride will reopen at Bay Beach Amusement Park in Green Bay, Wisconsin in the future. They haven't had a roller coaster at Bay Beach since 1913.
The very first Roller Coaster I ever road, right there.
My absolute favorite in the entire world.
Thank you for posting this video. I'll miss my beloved Pippin. :(
The zippin pippin is now in bay beach green bay Wisconsin and was shipped and sold to here this year
@GNRAxlRose88 Tbh it's only costing us $3 million, that's still cheap if u think about it considering construction, the steel, the wood and other costs compared to others. The only thing that was junk from the original coaster here was the wood, the steel was salvageable as was the train. Apparently from Coasterforce, we're getting our wood from another defunct roller coaster Thunder Eagle. if u think about it we still didn't get half a bad deal, plus it's being constructed in record time!
I rode on this in 1988. I was the only person on it at the time...
my dad used to work at liberty land for like 1960-2005
Memphis can't support anything...we got rid of Libertyland, we lost the Mid-South Fair and our hockey team (Memphis Riverkings) to DeSoto County, Mississippi, our Pyramid is empty...so is our Mid-South Coliseum. We have no amusement park now and we only have 1 miniature golf course amusement place, left (Putt-Putt). We used to have several of those...Al's Golfhaven, Putt-Putt on Mt. Moriah, Celebration Station, and Bogey's. Why is everything going?
zippin pippin will live on forever
This coaster did not get moved to Bay Beach as it was destroyed in Libertyland, It's a copy at Bay Beach but well done to the park who wanted a world class woodie..
How was it destroyed
Poor old gal.. Looks like she was on her last legs when the park closed. >: Its sad to see a John Miller ride go.
i guess i'm late to the party but, WELCOME TO WISCONSIN ZIPPEN PIPPEN!
Unfortunately, it is very expensive to move a wooden coaster.
I just rode it in Green Bay. Fun. Lots of airtime in the last car. And the second to last hill was a surprise.
Oh, really? So when the park closed in 2005, the coaster was moved? That would be a relief that it was saved. For certain, Elvis had good taste in coasters! Was this an Allen or Miller coaster? Ok, Miller....I just read the Wiki. I am happy to hear the coaster is back in operation at Bay Beach Park. With all the sadness I been hearing of parks shutting down and classic coasters being destroyed, at least this is a glimmer of light. Now I hope the Big Dipper at Geauga can be moved.
The Big Dipper was demolished in 2016. Cedar Fair wouldn't allow anyone to save it. Even if you had made a million dollar offer, they wouldn't have accepted it.
The only thing that went to Green bay was the blueprints...
lol I have 1 Canobie Lake video added on my youtube page :P
But yeah.,. You are right most of my videos arnt from Canobie.. or even New England parks.
@frenchfrey65 the structure is gone so it means its dead but heck the rcdb counts it as a casualty but if the layout is the same then darn its good for all of us
@t38j19jb BTW: I"m pretty sure Libertyland closed simply because of low attendance, not because of what part of town it was located.
@rollercoastermaniac2 Because I posted it.. after I shot it? It was shot in 2005.
yeah the pippin is now gone, they closed liberty land last year, i live 10 min outside of memphis
@t38j19jb You mean the "Hickory Ridge Mall" ? Actually, it closed 'cause a tornado ripped through it. It's reopening, btw.
@woodencoasterfan lol that's what i get for being from Wisconsin XD, can't even spell it right XD! All i know is that it will be treated fairly and with respect, and also an Elvis Presley theme :D, I"M SO EXCITED!
I was at the park in June of 2005.
@frenchfrey65 There are no "E" letters in Zippin Pippin. I to am glad that a classic coaster has been saved from the wrecking ball.
I miss libertyland
The Zippin Pippin in Green Bay is a nice exciting ride. I was a guest of the city and allowed access to areas of the ride to snap photos other people are not allowed to access. RCDB.COM posted 6 of the 200 photos I shot of the ride in motion on 08/18/2011
GB runs both trains on the ZP every single day regardless of rides in line to make sure both trains get even wear. They're rpoud to have it and it is only $1.00 to ride.. Another Gravity Group classic, from the John Miller Blue Prints.
That theme park was one of my favorite places in my childhood, especially when a person in a Jimmy Neutron costume visited (the costume looked like the Universal costume).
@ ankitchens08 it is the same and will be the same but they are using new wood and stuff to rebuild it. They bought the name and hisory and desigin but none of the original peices
First they got rid of Adventure River then Liberty Land. No summer fun here in Memphis!
Why no Canobie videos, CanobieFan? Great Excalibur vid, btw!
now we got op in green bay wi love it
lets just say its not going to return as the same but its a revival it goes in the same directions but its a whole new coaster OK
@Dragonlew "I agree"
Elvis'favorite ride.He would personally rent the park late nights n ride the pippin over & again
"Memories" Just like Elvis Mem has died
Folks need to stop pretending. Just look at the gang graffiti from the river well into east memphis..
Use to be just a big o'le country town and now it's a city where the average high school grad can't even read at sixth grade level. Memphis is a city under siege.
Taken over by foul mouth low wasted pant wearing hip-hop-n car jackers"
Sheesh! If liberty land had survived they would've had to call RMC because I can tell how painful that is just from the POV. I wonder what RMC zippin pippin would've looked like. I mean no disrespect to Elvis Presley's favorite rollercoaster but that looks and sounds so rough it's no wonder the train didn't derail
Katerina Kittycat don’t worry its better in its new home.
@@thedadawson2749 are you sure it's the same coaster? Wooden coasters are not easily relocated
I am sure. The ride was taken out and moved. Some of the ride was saved. I count it as the same ride
@@thedadawson2749 today would've been libertyland's 153rd Birthday
It will not be the same ride. They sold pieces of the coaster but not all of it, they are using some of the wood from this coaster but it will not be the same!!
Not bad for a junior woodie.
There's peeps r so weak it's not scary it's FUN
i heard they sold it for about 1500
such a shame.....memphis needs somethin historical like the pippon
not another stadium
AND ANOTHER FORD!!!!!!!
Zippin Pippin is alive and well in Green Bay,WI.
They should’ve totally RMC this but I can see why they didn’t because the whole park closed for financial reasons
Some rides should NEVER be candidates for RMC.
W.T.F is that girls issue!!
man that thing was in bad shape
The one at bay beach is a lot faster
I fell off this once.. Didn’t get muchhurt but it was a big to do! Can’t do that today… too “woke” ✋🏻🎰
love joseph
very boring coaster. ride the Blue Fire Megacoaster!
