Little Dipper, Steel roller coaster in Pennsylvania, US
Little Dipper is a steel roller coaster in Pennsylvania designed with a chain lift hill and two bunny hills arranged in a simple oval pattern. The ride features three cars that carry up to twelve riders per cycle, making it an entry-level coaster for young children.
The ride was built during the 1950s when American amusement parks were expanding rapidly. Its original design and mechanical systems have remained largely unchanged through the decades.
The Little Dipper represents a milestone in amusement park engineering as one of the earliest steel roller coasters designed specifically for children in North America.
The ride operates with specific height restrictions to ensure young children can enjoy it safely. The simple oval layout makes it easy to locate and observe from various points in the park.
The track's black paint scheme contrasts with the red and white accents of the train cars, which received a complete color update during the 2006 renovation.
