Fun fact: The Little Dipper was recognized by the American Coaster Enthusiasts as the oldest steel coaster still operating in North America. The ride received a makeover in 2014 but the sign at the top was recreated to look like the original 1952 sign.

While you're here, you'll want to hop aboard the Big Creek & Memphis Railway, which circles the entire park.
