Little Dipper, Steel roller coaster at Memphis Kiddie Park in Brooklyn, Ohio, United States
Little Dipper is a steel roller coaster at Memphis Kiddie Park that uses a chain lift to carry riders up the hill. The train features three cars with twelve seats total, arranged in six rows with two seats across in each row.
The coaster began operations in April 1952 and remains North America's oldest continuously operating steel roller coaster in its original location. It has maintained a presence at the park for decades without being relocated.
The coaster draws families seeking traditional amusement park experiences that feel rooted in the past. You'll notice children and adults sharing the same ride, creating a sense of continuity across generations.
The ride operates in most weather conditions, though rain or strong wind may cause occasional temporary closures. Visitors should expect moderate wait times, particularly on weekends and school holidays when families fill the park.
The coaster received a new paint job in 2006, changing from silver and blue to red and white. This color update gave it a fresher appearance while keeping the original structure intact.
