A Farewell To Kiddieland

The Little Dipper Rollercoaster at Kiddieland, Melrose Park, Illinois

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.
