Little Dipper (Memphis Kiddie Park)

The Little Dipper is a classic wooden roller coaster located at Memphis Kiddie Park in Brooklyn, Ohio, a suburb of Cleveland. It is notable for being one of the oldest continuously operating roller coasters in the world specifically designed for children. Opened in 1952, the Little Dipper is a junior coaster, offering a mild thrill suitable for young riders. Its small size and gentle slopes make it a popular first roller coaster experience for many children. The ride's layout is a simple out-and-back design, featuring a single lift hill and a series of small dips. The coaster trains are also scaled down to accommodate smaller passengers. While not a high-thrill ride, the Little Dipper holds significant historical value and remains a beloved attraction at Memphis Kiddie Park. It represents a lasting example of early amusement park entertainment for children.
