Little Dipper, Wooden roller coaster in Gurnee, Illinois.
The Little Dipper extends for 700 feet of track with a height of 28 feet, offering a classic figure-eight layout for family entertainment.
Built in 1950 at Kiddieland Amusement Park in Melrose Park, the coaster relocated to Six Flags Great America in 2010 after a successful auction purchase.
Multiple generations of Illinois residents experienced their first roller coaster ride on this Philadelphia Toboggan Coasters creation spanning over seven decades.
The single train configuration includes four cars with two rows each, accommodating sixteen riders per journey through its compact layout.
Six Flags Great America purchased this heritage coaster for $33,000 at auction, preserving its legacy as the smallest wooden roller coaster in the park.
