The Little Dipper

Six Flags saves the day! The Little Dipper formerly operated at Kiddieland Amusement Park from 1950 until the park closed in September 2009 has found a new home at Great America. 

The Little Dipper was designed by Herbert Schmeck and built by the Philadelphia Toboggan Company in 1950. The family-friendly coaster features a three story tall lift hill and is designed as a figure eight track which runs 700 feet in length.

It has been honored with the ACE Coaster Classic award by the American Coaster Enthusiasts and and stands as an important piece of Chicago history. Now The Little Dipper begins a new chapter, as the 14th coaster at Six Flags Great America.
