There's no big fancy queue for the Little Dipper. You just head
on up the ramp and once the chain is dropped you head off to take a seat.
So it's first come first serve.
Once the ride operator takes a pull on the brake lever, no fancy computer
running the ride just old school coaster technology here, you're off for
a ride on the Little Dipper.
After watching everyone take a ride with their cameras shooting away I asked
the ride operator who said that cameras were allowed on the Little Dipper
so let's take one last ride on this classic coaster.
Even though this was Kiddieland's final season there still was a little
hope as there had been talks about moving the park down to Utica, IL so
maybe these wouldn't be our last laps on the Little Dipper.
